He loves his job and that shines through and benefits all who go on a tour with him. We saw and experienced countless wonders in Iceland with the unforgettable trip. The glacier hike had to be one of our top expeditions though, and Edgar and Pare were both fabulous guides for that as well. This trip is absolutely worth it.”

“This trip feels like a school trip and not in a good way. The choice of accommodation is very poor, as you need to embrace no hot water and poor catering. Given choice, I would just copy itinerary and drive around in the car. The guide is the only positivity in the ocean of inconvenience and rude unprofessional service.”

“Our guide Gulli was absolutely incredible. We had a blast seeing so much of Iceland on our 4 day tour. I will say, the bus seats are not super comfortable so be prepared. I have bad sciatica and the seat belts hit right at the nerve, so I used a t shirt for some cushion. Also a warning: If you’re not prepared to be on a tight schedule with plenty of time to walk about, this is not for you. It is go, go, go. My husband and I are in our early 30s and we went with my dad who is in his 60s. We were all exhausted the…”

“Alles was super leuk en de Gids heeft heel erg z’n best gedaan. Door de weersinvloeden hadden we soms moeite om het originele programma te halen, door de donkere dagen en soms slechte weer was de oorspronkelijke planning niet haalbaar. Hij heeft altijd voor een geschikt alternatief gezocht kwa watervallen etc. Waardoor ik ondanks dat ik in de winter ben geweest met maar 4 uur daglicht niet het idee heb dat ik iets heb gemist van IJsland. Ons buiten het programma diverse lekkernijen laten proeven, buiten het reguliere programma extra stops gemaakt voor uitleg bijvoorbeeld toen we een regenboog wolk zagen en we die graag wilde fotograferen met de hele…”

Every day was perfectly planned, full of breathtaking sights, fun surprises, and great energy. We don’t usually join group tours, but our small group of 13 turned out to be amazing.
