WELL ABOVE AND BEYOND Service and Memorable Extras with Troll Expedition - Troll Expedition exceeded my expectations in terms of service compared to other tour companies. The driver was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly, enhancing the overall experience. Tour Experience and Hotels: The tour was fantastic, and the hotels provided were comfortable and included free breakfast. I found the accommodations to be more than satisfactory, contributing to a great trip overall. Customer Service: Troll Expedition’s customer service was outstanding. They promptly answered all my questions and provided excellent support throughout the tour. Additional Highlights: (NOT LISTED IN VIATOR, BUT THEY OFFERED IT AS AN EXTRA) 1) Ice Cave Visit: Although not listed on Viator, Troll Expedition offered an optional ice cave tour for an additional fee. This experience was truly spectacular, and I highly recommend it. The ice cave was one of the tour's highlights—beautiful and safe. 2) Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon: I requested a visit to Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon (the canyon featured in a Justin Bieber video), even though it wasn’t on the itinerary. The tour guide kindly accommodated this request, and I’m very grateful for that. The canyon was breathtaking and should definitely be included in future itineraries (SUGGESTION FOR TROLL EXPEDITION TO ADD THIS PLACE TO THE ORIGINAL ITINERARY BECAUSE IT'S BEAUTIFUL) Overall, my experience with Troll Expedition was amazing. I would certainly choose them again for future tours.

10/10 Tour!! - We did the Golden Circle tour with Bjorn who was nothing short of excellent! He kept us well informed and entertained the entire trip with fun facts, and anecdotes en route to each stop. We even managed to squeeze in a few extra stops as everyone in our group was so good at time keeping! He was honestly such a joy and it was so refreshing being guided by someone who loves what they do! I would 100% recommend this tour to absolutely everyone!

What a fantastic tour!! - I was not sure what to do for a solo trip in Iceland. I received good recommendations for a tour of the Golden Circle. So I signed up for this one, ended up meeting some great people and a friend for life as well. The sites to see were amazing and the tour guide was awesome as well! If solo or with a group, I highly recommend this tour.

I have a bias against group tours--this one is the exception! Go do it! - I hate group tours as a general rule. But Iceland's infrastructure lends itself well to this format and Troll is at the top of their game. My guide, Axel, is a local Icelander who is exceptionally knowledgeable, energetic, thoughtful, and answers any questions you might have. One thing that is underrated about this place are the hotels in which you will be staying: they pick these secluded hotels that allow for a maximized chance at seeing the Northern Lights. We found no success there, but truly, Axel did such a great job of running the tour that it did not even matter (not that we should take it against the guides if the natural phenomenon does not occur at our convenience). For those of you like me who are wary of group tours, be assured that this place is an exception--they are fantastic.

Every stop , restaurants , he gave meaningful advices and we really appreciate his patience into details . He did many things which beyond our expectations, he is so friendly ,articulate and flexible. We wouldn’t dream of coming back to Iceland without having him to guide us to more wonderful sights.

Great experience and value for the money - Great experience! We've been looking for a while for a "what to do" in Iceland and we came across this tour and I can say it was a great decision! You get to see loads of places during these 3 days, that will probably be more complicated to see on your own. Our guide Iskren was the best! He told us loads of informations about Iceland and these beautiful places that we've visited. He was even slowing down on the road to show us different highlights. During the 2 nights we stayed at the guesthouse, he kept us informed in case the northern lights will show up, but unfortunately we didn't see them. There were km away from us but the location of the Guesthouse is good for watching them so you may be lucky next time! At each stop you have enough time to take photos and walk around so you don't have worry about. Side note, Iskren was warming up the van more than enough to get a good sleep & his playlist goes perfectly with the scenery!

Golden Circle, glacier lagoon and ice cave - We have joined a 3 day Golden Circle tour with Troll. It was a pack yet no-hurry journey. We could enjoy it at a pace leisurely enough to experience the majestic view yet rich and pack enough to visit all the ‘musts’, and plus a few extras. It was like the Goldilocks porridge - not too hot, not too cold, just right. Iceland is like heaven on earth, it’s beautiful yet dangerous. So safety and precautions are necessary. Our guide Iskren made good choices to cater for the situation, weather conditions in particular. However life’s never perfect: there’s one disappointment though. For the 2 nights we stayed at the south coast, we didn’t have the luck to see aurora light. But at least we didn’t have to stay up for the night. Our guide did that for us and would call us if there’s any spotting. There’s a story about this small guesthouse, the Hrifunes. Its previous owners were a couple, the wife a lover of cooking and the husband a professional photographer. Buy the book ‘Our land’ to read their story as well as the yummy recipes and the amazing photos. If you stay there, you could read the book in the room signed by the authors!
