Fantastic tour, very fast paced. Changes to itinerary were communicated and made up for well. Excellent tour guide. Communication during transfers was poor.
Einer Thosteinsson , our guide was super enthusiastic about his homeland
The tour was well planned, we went to all the major sites without being rushed
The hotels were all very good if a little overheated
I knew we weren’t going to be met at the airport so that was no problem but I would have liked an introductory meeting either the night we arrived or before we clambered onto the coach the following morning, I missed the small sign on reception that gave the first meet-up time
Otherwise a superb trip
