the tour is very nice but more activities could be included, such as hiking, diving etc. It would be nice if they added some extra days to visit Greenland which is very close. There was a lot of driving. The hotels were impressively good. Iceland is expensive and more meals could alos be included. The tour guide was good and gave insight to the local living.
Mother Nature blessed us tonight This was an excellent tour with super, friendly guides/driver and a sight to behold. It was worth spending the extra money to get a luxury coach too - more leg room and general comfort with less passengers. We were picked up from our location on time (BSi Bus Terminal). We stopped at one location, saw subtle evidence of the lights after about an hour and then got driven to another area close by where the magic unfolded. Spectacular "dancing" aurora! Hot chocolate, prosecco/water and a special Icelandic doughnut with smoked fish was also provided. The guide took pictures which she plans to email to everyone, so don't worry if you don't have a decent camera. Well worth it, the best tour so far!!
Wow, what can I say, it was brilliant!!! My first group holiday and I definately chose well. Glacier trekking was awesome, we were lucky to have fantastic weather on this day, we also saw the iceberg lagoon and yes, later that evening we saw the Northern Lights too. While in the East we stayed on a farm which was located in front of mountains and just in front of the ocean, a beautiful setting! Petur the guide was great, incredibly knowledgeable about Iceland - past and present, we had all sorts of stories from him about the Vikings, he was a good laugh, oh and he has a very large box full of nibbles on the mini bus, this went down very well! :) . Caving was great too, but I was very nervous as I'm not good with small spaces, you didnt have to do the caving, but Petur reassured me and looked after me the whole time, definately worth doing! All together an excellent holiday, there's some travelling but lots of stops to see waterfalls and sites, oh and the food was good too, especially the trout at the farm, yummy. The whole experience was that good that I'm planning my next holiday with Exodus already.
