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.
Well organized tour with excellent guide and driver The tour was excellent from beginning to end. Our first orientation meeting was efficient and well organized that set the stage for the trip that was flawless in execution. We were lucky to have a good group of compatible folks and all of the destinations were interesting and worthwhile. The pace was very good and enough time was spent when needed. The hotels were very good and the meals mostly at our expense were above expectation often prepared with quality chef skills. The only flaw was the bus was compact and a challenge to get on and off multiple times with backpacks and all but eventually we learned to manage and switched seats during the trip so everything worked out OK
Winter is coming - and Iceland is the place to experience it! Fantastic country - other-worldly landscapes - this trip offers a thrilling mix of the ancient sagas which tell their own tale of the landscape, the stories of modern life under constant threat of volcanic eruption, geography and geomorphology, wildlife and food. And if you get Kristjn as your tour leader, you will be among the luckiest travellers out there - I've done 9 or so trips with this tour company and am confident he is one of the best, most knowledgeable, resourceful, responsive, hard-working and entertaining leaders out there.
