What Our Guests Say

“History, culture, food, geology, people - all aspects of Iceland our guide covered.

Hulda was the best we could have hoped for. Personable, knowledgeable, excited, all you wanted in a guide. One day we had a student who was off the tour for the day and so was I. Hulda suggested things we could do to still have an „Iceland“ day.

The bus and driver were wonderful. I would absolutely ask for this driver again if possible. Quiet when needed but he interacted with the students well, told stories, answered questions, etc. Most mornings began early, but that was needed for all that was packed into the day. Our Icelandic guide and bus driver were excellent.”

Julie Fontana, Group Leader

“Outstanding! A unique destination that everyone truly loved! Everything was organized and ran very smoothly. The tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. The activities kept us busyit was just the right amount for a full day without being overwhelmed.”

Amy Petrousky, Group Leader
