Linus made a memorable experience - This trip had been in my bucket list and we finally made it happen. I chose Arctic Adventures based on the reviews I saw online and the company did not disappoint. The booking system was smooth, the booking management on my own profile was even better. I emailed back and forth with the customer support team for queries I always have ( not that the information was missing or anything) is just a thing that I have to double check :) and it was always very attentive. Also, I changed my pick up location last minute by calling them, and they where supper nice and fast! Now the country itself is just amazing, Linus our guide made the whole trip even better!He was very knowledgable, friendly and made the whole group to feel like we have meet before. It was such a nice experience to travel around the island with my husband and other 12 people that ended up being our friends at the end. The bus is very comfortable, safe and spacious. I would highly recommend this company and this tour to anyone who wants to experience Iceland in a nutshell.

OUTSTANDING - We did this as an eight day private tour with 14 of our family members and it was AMAZING. We mostly followed the outline of the non-private tour, but made some adjustments of our own to customize it. The hotels were chosen, mostly by Arctic adventures ,and all of them were great. There’s a lot of driving time on this tour, but the van was comfortable and had very reliable WiFi . The scenery throughout the country is so diverse and beautiful, that the time on the road was very relaxing. And I was so glad we chose to go in September because the fall colors throughout the country were breathtaking . We even had a snowstorm one day where we watched the mountains turn to white and the contrast between the white mountains and the black lava fields and the beautiful fall ground cover with something that will never forget . But what really made this tour outstanding was our tour guide VJ. He made a great trip even better! He was adept at handling any little hiccups that arose throughout the tour. He was very good at reading the needs of our group with lots of stops for us to pick up necessities like food and beverages as we needed them and plenty of bathroom breaks. He also went out of his way to make sure he was getting plenty of our group photos and was our personal selfie stick throughout the tour. He had a vast amount of knowledge to share about his country and the diverse landscape that we were experiencing, which added to our experience in a way I didn’t expect. I was the one that had arranged this tour for my family, so I was very vested in making sure it all went well and it became very apparent to me at the beginning of the tour that we were in great hands and that I was able to just relax into the tour , knowing that VJ truly cared about us having a great time. By the end of the tour, he really felt like he was part of our family and not just our guide. So thank you to Arctic adventure and Vj, for allowing us to experience Iceland in such a magical way, on a trip that we will never forget.

Wonderful! - Just got back and it was everything I hoped it would be and more! Our guide Siggi was the absolute best. Will be recommending Arctic Adventures to all my family and friends. And if I ever get back to Iceland I will definitely be using them again.

An experience not to be missed. - Our tour was amazing and we loved every part of Iceland. We were fortunate to be in a group of 13 so had more room on the bus. Svavar was an excellent bus driver and guide. He drove very carefully and got us through some very wild windy weather in the East safely. He also cared for everyone, especially one guest who became unwell. He gave us interesting facts as we saw each part of the Ring Road. His music playlist was also great listening as he mixed it up to cater for all ages. Thanks Svavar! We cannot speak highly enough of Iceland’s incredible scenery and photos don’t show its true beauty. We really want to visit again.

The best of Iceland. - Iceland was amazing! We were blessed with great weather and an excellent tour guide (Diddi from Artic Adventures). Diddi was very knowledgeable about the history and geology of Iceland mixed with a great sense of humor! I would highly recommend Artic Adventure small tour group.

Best experience of our lives! - Had such an amazing time!!! Vignir is an incredible tour guide! Loved the history lessons and old folk lore about trolls. This tour is a great way to see a lot of Iceland. Tour is jam packed, no nonsense! Each stop we get told 30, 45, 60, 90 mins ect. Everyone gets out & returns at the designated time, then it’s off to the next stop! Only one night the hotel didn’t have dinner for us, but we all ate in town. Breakfast was provided everyday, and we stopped somewhere for lunch every day. Whale watch was loaded with humpback whales. Glacier hike was very cool, they provided the metal spikes for boots. Vignir even knocked on everyone’s doors the first night to let us know the northern lights were visible! Our 1st 6 days were with Vignir, then the 7th was with a different guide. If in a time crunch, I do feel the 6 day was plenty!! We wish we only did the 6 day. Got to stay at fun and intimate little old farm houses, as well as nice hotels. I would 100% do this again with Vignir as our guide!

Would not have been the same trip without our tour guide! - Would just like to start by saying I was very skeptical at the beginning because I have never done a tour before. When we went to other countries we would plan everything ourselves and go and make our own agenda to see things and it worked out just fine before but me and my girlfriend decided to do a guided tour this time because there was just so much to see. I can tell you that I do not regret that choice at all and it honestly would not have been the same trip if we did not do this guided tour with the help of our guide Vignir. Not only was he on time with our tour, it felt fluid and not forced the entire time. He made sure to not only stress the importance of staying on time from stop to stop but essentially not cram it down our gullet every time we stopped and the group overall did very well with staying on time. Which at the end of each day felt really good because we were able to see so much because of that. I can not stress how much Vignir made each stop interesting and exciting with his knowledge of the area and stories/histories behind everything. He made everywhere we went feel welcoming from national parks, hotels, and even restaurants. His interactions between the locals from our stops in small towns for lunches made it feel welcoming and relaxing so we didn’t feel like outsiders visiting this country but like family or great friends. His demeanor was always positive and very outgoing. I don’t think anyone in the group ever felt like he did not want to be there but wanted to make sure that we experienced Iceland for everything it had. Quite honestly, Vignir was a highlight from our trip and made a big impact on I believe not only my girlfriend and me, but I believe the whole group. He is responsible for a big portion of why we had so much fun in Iceland and it was a great time and not only will I be coming back but would insist on doing another tour with Vignir. I not only recommend arctic adventures, I recommend this guide because without him it would not have been the same trip. I highly recommend this tour, and cannot thank Vignir enough for an amazing time, an unforgettable time that I am so happy to have experienced. I will be coming back the next chance I get. Thank you so much.

7 Day Complete Iceland Tour with Vjeran... WOW - 7 Day Complete Iceland Tour. This is a combo of the 6 Day Around Iceland Adventure + 1 Day Snaefellsnes Kirkjufell Tour. This tour far exceeded expectations. I loved the sights including countless waterfalls, endless beautiful vistas, changing landscapes, plus the special excursions Myvatn Baths, whale watching, glacier hike. Vjeran our guide was fantastic and gave us many extra stops to maximize our experience, he provided lots of history and local knowledge, and kept us safe on the road through difficult terrain. There was 18 of us from age 21 to 83 and I did not expect to become a pseudo family. Vjeran was the glue that bound that family and I am very grateful for the experience. Already missing the team and Iceland. Highly highly recommended!

Great tour. Fantastic guide. Mediocre accommodations. Awful customer service. - Our tour guide Diddi was awesome. He is amiable, knowledgeable, patient (I tested him daily) and entertaining. I didn't care all for the customer service at Arctic Adventures and I will never use them again. On the other hand, Guide to Iceland, which initially took my reservation, had a much more professional approach to customer service. Unfortunately, I found out too late that GTI is just a gateway that offers tours from other vendors. Nevertheless GTI stepped up when AA failed. It did get tiresome being ping-pong'd back and forth though. So in summary, Diddi 10 stars, GTI 5 stars, AA minus 3 stars.
