Tour guide outstanding! We didn't see the northern lights but we saw so much. Middle hotels was ok. Recommend wash cloths. Bartender was incredible. Good trip, wonderful time
Anonymous | Traveled in April
Iceland is gorgeous when it's wrapped in its winter coat of snow and ice. The waterfalls, glaciers and lava fields were the highlight of my tour. Its not a place fir fall colors as there are no trees. The food was good and people friendly. I'll have to return to explore the northern part of the island.
Rosemary P. | Traveled in April
It was a wonderful experience, Iceland is absolutely beautiful. The tour guide Rosalinda was very knowledgeable and friendly and when we had snow days where we couldn't get around she made up for it by substituting other things we were able to do. The bus driver was very d friendly and an excellent driver. I highly recommend this tour it's a truly friendly and amazing place to visit.
Susan | Traveled in April
There’s not one memorable experience, everything was memorable. We got to see the Northern Lights, every stop on the Golden Circle Tour, all of the waterfalls, glaciers, beaches, lava fields, Blue Lagoon, the city of Reykjavík and the town of Vik. Iceland is a truly magical place.

Everything was great! The glacial ice cleaned and used for ice in our drinks was very cool to tell everyone at home. More time at the Blue Lagoon and more time at the Folk museum would have been nice. Bus driver and tour leader were great!
Mary F. | Traveled in March
There is an Icelandic saying "Petta Reddast" which means that 'it will all work out'. I believe that everything worked out so very well with our tour was the result of our tour guide, Marianne (and our bus driver Robert). She went far above and beyond what a typical guide would do. We had a flight delay, a snowstorm and bus malfunction, but we still got to see and do everything we wanted and had a wonderful time! If I am ever back to Iceland, I would request Marianne again.
