Wonderful trip to a delightful country. Our guide, Thor, was professional, knowledgeable and entertaining. The itinerary and guide combined to provide a thorough understanding of the geology, geography, history and culture of this very interesting island nation.

This was an ideal trip for a whistle-stop tour of the whole of the Island. Going at the beginning of October meant few tourists and mostly rain-free days. It was undoubtedly windy most of the time, but not super cold. I would recommend layers, and a good waterproof jacket really just to keep the wind out! The rustic accommodation & lodges in the countryside were so much nicer & characterful to stay in than the 'guesthouses' in the cities, which really were akin to basic youth hostels. If you're staying extra nights in Reykjavik, look elsewhere for accommodation. The Aurora was pretty cramped with 1 toilet/shower per floor of 5 shared rooms, and constant door banging & stomping on the stairs. Nearby Cafe Loki though was amazing for traditional Icelandic food & lovely service. Overall, a great trip, with fantastic people, and a very knowledgeable guide (Thordur) - I totally recommend it.

This trip was a fantastic way to experience the best of Iceland! The highlights included visiting Iceland's largest glacier, hiking along the coast, soaking in the hot springs, whale watching, and seeing the aurora! The weather was VERY cold, windy, and sometimes rainy, but absolutely worth it. Bring layers and expect to fall in love with Iceland's incredibly diverse landscape!
