We never intended to go to Iceland but decided to do so when our Mont Blanc Trip was cancelled for the second time in two years. What a mistake! Iceland should have been our first choice in the beginning. This is truly a wonderful country and the tour operator has designed a trip that shows off a lot of what the huge island has to offer. The trip was as advertised in regard to difficulty. Even the last four days with three long hikes back to back was managed by our guides so that everyone was successful. It was a wonderful time indeed.
Wonderful tour of Iceland I just wanted to let you know how happy we were with the travel package you and co-workers put together. We had no problems at all with the accommodations, and everything went quite smoothly with the vouchers. The inns were comfortable, and the car arrangements also went well. The extra time near Lake Myvatn allowed me to have a wonderful horseback ride and practice the "tolt" at Hestasport. Thankfully the storms didn't interfere with travel too much. It was a bit of a challenge communicating back and forth for the planning aspect, with the time and date differences, but we had a great trip and enjoyed Island a lot, amazing place! Thanks for your help.
Although we were unable to see the Northern Lights due to the overcast conditions this did not detract from the fact that this was a real Icelandic experience that we thoroughly enjoyed.
Excellent program of things do and see let by Orri our very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and friendly guide. His knowledge of Icelandic history and Icelandic tales added to the enjoyment of the trip.
The variety of the program and timings meant that we had lots to do and see avoiding more busy times of the popular locations.
The hotel Laki which we stayed in for two nights was especially nice and well located.
