Our "Stelkur" trip was great, and our guide Sylvi was awesome! He shared so much information with us as we toured his beautiful country about its geography, history, culture, etc. Hiking through the eastern fiords was amazing - unspoiled beauty and quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
The land of fire and ice did not dissapoint Our Iceland winter tour was fantastic! The accommodations were simple yet comfortable, and the included meals were excellent. We explored a perfect mix of top sights and hidden gems, with a few lovely walks included. Winter roads were a bit challenging, and we did miss a few stops due to snowfall and road closures, but it made me grateful someone else was doing the driving. Our incredible tour leader shared fascinating Icelandic sagas and added personal touches for each of us. He even introduced us to a new "waterfall of the day" and tried to include little extras to make up for the missed stops, even though the weather was beyond anyone's control. We just missed the puffins by about a week, but we were lucky enough to catch a couple of great Northern Lights shows. Highly recommend this tour for an unforgettable winter adventure!
Loved this tour, it’s a brilliant and beautiful country Excellent leader who had great stories. Could have engaged with us more, but as it was his first top deck and I think he was used to an older crowd maybe we were a bit of a shock to him. Only annoying thing was an optional extra - blue lagoon we had to organise ourselves (find times, book etc) our leader only stepped in when we were saying we were having trouble booking a transfer. He then helped us out, but the company (intrepid) made us then pay for this as we were told the bus was done for the tour even though we had another day to go. Just different to other top deck optional extras - which were all organised by the leader.
