パフィン＆ホエールウォッチング

I wanted to visit Iceland for years and finally went mid February 2019. I had a checklist of things I wanted to do and see, but did not have the time to book each tour independently and organize it all myself. Therefore I did not hesitate to book the 6 day Guide to Iceland winter tour as it had the majority of the items on my checklist and in the exact number of days I had planned for the trip. It ended up being the best idea because everything was planned and scheduled for me. All I had to do was ensure I was on time for the bus pickup. The staff was attentive and answered all my questions. The snowmobiling activity I opted for was cancelled due to weather (bummer!!) and I had no issues receiving a timely refund. All the other activities (NL tour, ice cave, peninsula, southern shore, golden circle) were always on schedule and with good tour guides. I was super glad that I did not rent a car because the winter weather/road conditions would have been super stressful as a solo tourist. Iceland is beautiful and I would not hesitate going back and using Guide to Iceland again. The landscape is amazing. The Northern Lights were spectacular. I was lucky enough to see them three nights in a row. I did book the boat tour as I knew I would have land options throughout the rest of the trip and am glad I did so because the show we got on the night of my boat tour was beyond spectacular. The hotels were meh, but that could have just been that I selected "comfort" level so I cannot fault them for this. Other than that, I am super happy with my trip and highly recommend visiting Iceland and using Guide to Iceland to book your visit!

My friends and I went on the 6 Day Winter Tour. We had an absolutely wonderful time! It was so well planned out; all we had to do was make sure we got on the correct tour buses! It was so nice to relax and not have to worry about navigating and planning our next moves, especially in the winter. Every time we saw a rental car off the road while traveling in the tour bus, we were especially glad that we booked a tour. We felt like we got our money’s worth from the trip, and greatly enjoyed our chosen activities which included northern lights hunting, snowmobiling, soaking in the Blue Lagoon, taking an ice cave tour, and exploring a peninsula. Also, our tour guide, Anna, was professional and helped us set up other activities we wanted to do in Reykjavík. We would definitely book another tour with Guide to Iceland!

It has been a great experience to receive such a comprehensive review of Iceland's natural wonders. The day trips were well organized and the guides knowledgeable about the subject matter, in addition providing interesting tales and insights into the Icelandic culture and language. Overall, a great family experience. Highly recommended!

I had an amazing experience with Guide to Iceland! Everything was very articulately and clearly planned out for us and we did not have to worry about anything! Our guide Melkorka was very helpful in answering all of our questions before and during the trip. The hostel we stayed in was very clean and organized. They even had a little gift ready for us from Guide to Iceland. Snowmobiling was definitely a highlight from the Golden Circle as well the overall trip. I know some people's tours were cancelled due to bad weather, but we were lucky to have very clear skies throughout our trip. We opted for the Snæfellsnes peninsula tour for our free day and the sights were amazing. We did wish we had time to see the south coast as well after speaking with some people we met at our hostel. Ending the trip with the Blue Lagoon really helped us relax and smooth out our muscles before heading back home. I really cannot recommend this tour enough to people!

I just returned from our 6 day winter trip (Feb 1-8, 2019) in Iceland and overall, Guide to Iceland did a fantastic job. Svetlana was a very attentive agent and tried to answer my many questions. I would highly recommend using a tour such as this during the winter months because the weather is so unpredictable and driving on your own could be a challenge. We opted for the luxury accomodations (Hotel Alda) and it was wonderful-great location, fantastic breakfast included and very close to bus stop 10/Hlemmur. You can literally walk to all of Reykjavik's highlights from this location and there are plenty of great restaurants, shops and museums for your days off. The Blue Lagoon was a big highlight, even if it is a tourist destination now. The locker rooms are very small and a total cluster but once you are in the water, it is very relaxing. The northern lights tour was a hit because we saw the northern lights. However, the mini bus we were on with Saga Travel GeoIceland was a bust bc the guide did not once talk to us and the tips he gave the people in front about apps to download could have been helpful for the rest of us. The guide in the other bus was much better and friendlier. The Golden Circle and Snowmobiling tour with Reykjavik Excursions was fantastic. The guide kept a tight time schedule, which we appreciated, and had interesting facts and stories to share the entire day. The sights we saw were absolutely gorgeous and the snowmobiling was a blast. The biggest complaint I have with Guide to Iceland is with our two day South Coast tour. Due to bad weather, we had to cancel day two of the tour. Understandably, bad weather is to be expected and cannot be controlled. However, when I asked about a partial refund for the sights we missed, I was told that since they had managed to find another ice cave for us to explore on day one, they would not be issuing any refunds. While we did have a great ice cave experience, more on that below, we did NOT get to see Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon or the Skaftafell nature reserve. And, we had about 10 minutes in the dark and inclement weather to see Reynisfjara (black diamond beach) and the basalt stacks. I was shocked that Guide to Iceland did not consider these sights of enough value to reimburse us for the missed opportunity. Katlatrack Adventure Tours stepped up at the last minute to do an ice cave tour and they were the highlight of our entire trip. Our guide (his name begins with an "S" and the other guide AJ) was so funny, informative and passionate about the local area. He had us laughing and learning the entire time. Honestly, these guys should provide lessons to other tour guides on how to provide customer service. From the music in the super jeep, to the shots of Black Death, they packed every minute with fun and interesting memories. THANK YOU! The Snaefeelsnes peninsula tour was guided by Troll Expeditions and again, the weather was awful and the tour probably should have been cancelled. Our particular tour guide was horrible and I dealt with it by speaking directly with Troll and they handled it very professionally, and in fact, provided a refund. I think if the weather and tour guide had been better, this would have been my favorite place to visit because of the rugged, raw beauty of the west. I think 2 days in Reykjavik is plenty of time to see the city and would suggest visiting other areas as much as possible. I LOVED Iceland and am grateful to Guide To Iceland for providing a relatively easy and enjoyable framework to see a lot of the country.
