Turer i januar

Our guide was really funny and kind. The whole group fell in love with him and with his passion. The way he talks about the glacier, that he knows the secrets of it, is just amazing I had a great time, and will definitly come back as soon as possible! Thank you guys!

First and foremost, I plan on using this company again to book a tour in France and when I return to Iceland. That alone should tell you about the quality and experience I received from customer service and travel advisors. What impressed me most about this company is their responsiveness at every level. In planning, they made sure my itinerary was something I could accomplish without becoming fatigued, or for that matter even making it to the relevant areas on time. I, unfortunately, got injured during my trip and it limited some of my more rigorous activities. Instead of abandoning me to my own, they first issued refunds for my side trips I could no longer take, and second, and most importantly, they not only suggested alternatives to what I could do instead of what I originally booked, they pointed me to resources on their website and others that would allow me to change my itinerary with ease. They had even helped me book the alternative reservations. I have never had such a positive and proactive experience with a travel company before. Third, their trip planning was spectacular. Or more specifically, if I had to use one word to describe their planning staff is smart. At every turn in their itinerary, besides the detailed description of the site and directions on how to get there, everything laid out just made logical sense from driving times and routes to locations to food to lodging. I have to emphasize the lodging here. Iceland is in a situation where there's high demand for lodging for tourism but not a lot of supply. The lodging they chose for me was appropriate in terms of my needs and my budget, and most importantly, located at or near where I would be spending the night and ready for my next leg of the journey. Without fail, every single one of my hotels/hostels/guesthouses were clean, safe, and dead on on my route. I only had to double back twice and those I would still consider close enough to continue my journey. What's unique about Guide to Iceland though is their knowledge of local lodging that isn't found on any particular website. That's the advantage of being local. Fourth, flexibility. In planning this trip, I really wanted to go to the Bjorbodin Beer Spa, which was not originally on my package. They helped pull it together so that I could do so. And I'm glad they did, because it was an amazing experience inside and outside of the spa. Similarly, regarding their itinerary, the itinerary is just that, an itinerary with flexible suggestions along the route that you're taking. If you can't go to one, there's another to choose. If you want to get off the beaten path, you can, and still make it to your destinations on time. Fifth, variety. There is a lot to do in Iceland, and surprisingly in the north of it in particular. Take a look at their blog posts on websites for ideas. They can help you book whatever you need and want for your trip and build that in your itinerary, they did it for me. I really can't say enough about Guide to Iceland. I spent three weeks there and had an amazing time. Knowing what I know now of Iceland, I really don't think I could have planned as successful a trip as what they did for me. It saved me so much money and time so that all I had to do was just drive solo around the country for three solid weeks. If you're having to choose between different travel companies, choose this one. If you have any doubts about Guide to Iceland, use this review as an endorsement from a very satisfied traveler. Have a great trip and enjoy Iceland!

1. Meeting point at jokulsarlon main carpark near toilet (W.C.) (remember to pay for parking if you are driving your own car). Find staff wearing orange jacket with logo “Guide to Iceland” on it and ask which jeep to go inside. 2. No toilet after departure. Remember to go to W.C. in main carpark before departure. 3. Whole tour last 3 hours 4. Drive ~20-25 minutes one-way to edge of glacier. Will have 15 minutes of F-road (meaning bumpy!) 5. Need wear Helmet and Crampons before a short hike (included in tour price). 6. Hike ~400 m to entrance of blue ice cave. Have some small streams so be careful. Alex from Romania (our tour guide) taught us a lot of knowledge regarding glacier and ice caves, wonderful! 7. Stay in ice caves is around 40 minutes. Adequate time for appreciating the art of nature and enough time for photo taking but some pretty spots need to queue due to lots of tourists. Alex take good pictures of us! 8. Be careful while inside blue ice cave as it is quite slippery and watch your head too. 9. Overall experience is very good! (Thanks our tour guide Alex again!!)

We had the best time on this horse riding adventure and I've been motivated to start horseback riding lessons. The horses were well trained and made even a complete beginner like me feel like a pro, especially on the jaunty tölt. The instructors were friendly, helpful and encouraging and the scenery was really something special. 10/10 recommend.
