This was a great trip to explore each city. Personally, this felt a bit more independent type travel (exploring the city by yourself or if you made a friend with them) vs other Contikis (more time with the group). Hotels were great and fantastic locations (centrally located near metros and the main train station). Fantastic free time add ons as well.
Our favorite memorable experience was made even richer and more enjoyable because of our excellent tour guide, Antonjia, who was a great story teller, immersing us and teaching us, not only about Iceland as an island geographically, but as a people with a rich heritage and culture. She made us fall in love with the people, their culture and their land. That is why our most memorable event was even more impactful when we joined the locals of Vik on New Year’s Eve for a bonfire and fireworks by the black beach. The ‘raison on the end of the hot dog’ was an amazing northern lights show later that evening.

GAdventures has managed (again) to send me on a journey worth taking. I enjoyed all aspects of our travels: accommodations, recommended restaurants, planned activities, suggested options and more. Two of the countries on our itinerary were new to me and I feel that the amount of time spent in the various locations is enough to give one a taste of what they're all about. The CEOs are great and an asset to the whole travel experience.
