Amazing trip in Iceland! - Thanks John for his tremendous guiding experience and driving skills to make us an amazing trip and ensure us the safety during the trip. Also his geological class enrich the landscape we saw in the Iceland. Good arrangement to make us have more stops with daylight and reach hotel in time every night. Especially precious in the winter time. We saw almost everything during the trip and I will memorize the whole journey in my life.

Great trip, awesome experience. Thank you Thales! - Visiting Iceland was an amazing experience, and it was further enhanced by our wonderful and helpful tour guide Thales. Traveling to different locations in Iceland in the dead of winter can be tricky, especially when the road & weather conditions don't cooperate with your tour schedule (Road closures/high wind/icy roads). However, because of our super capable tour guide Thales, he somehow managed to get the group to almost all of our designated spots in a timely manner. I cannot stress how safe & secured he made the whole group feel during the dreadful drive through the whiteout/blizzard conditions. To top it off, he kept the group entertained during the long drives with his mass knowledge of the local history/locations. There were numerous times, where Thales went above & beyond his duty as a tour guide just to make sure everyone in the group were happy and got the most out of our trip. The dude deserves a medal! The glacier hike, horseback riding, exploring the ice caves, and whale watching were all highlights of this trip for me. But having a friendly group and an awesome tour guide to spend Xmas with was the cherry on top. I would highly recommend taking this trip, especially if you're lucky enough to get Thales as your guide.

Unforgettable Trip around Iceland with Fabulous Guide - We had a very memorable time on our trip around the Island. Our guide Thales was absolutely amazing. He was super calm amid very difficult driving conditions, with limited visibility, high winds and snow storms. He was very prudent and his driving was excellent. He got us everywhere we needed to go safely without missing any activities. He was also extremely friendly, informative, helpful, uber organized and attentive. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! The experience was fabulous, with beautiful scenery, spectacular water falls, horse-back riding, ice caving, exploring a lava tunnel, hot springs, geysers, whale-watching, etc... Shout out to Elena and Miguel(?) - our guide from Valencia, Spain - on an incredible glacier-walking hike. They were also excellent guides on that excursion. We would definitely seek out Thales and Troll for our next trip yo Iceland (perhaps in summer to revisit this wonderful scenery in a different light).

8-day tour around Iceland with troll tour guides David and Maggie - If I could only choose one place that I would explore twice or more, it would have to be exploring the mysterious Iceland with David and Maggie. This trip became my spiritual pillar. When I feel sad or lost, Iceland's glaciers, waterfalls, blue ice caves and northern lights will bring me unlimited motivation and energy. In this perfect trip, the route is well planned and you can visit almost every famous attraction. Unfortunately, it is impossible to visit every corner of Iceland in eight days. This regret will become your reason and motivation to come to Iceland again! ! Let's talk about our tour guides, David and Maggie, who are the most important part of this perfect trip. Their professional driving experience and friendly and positive attitude have won the respect and love of everyone in the tour group. Even when I returned to Poland, David's words to us every morning, "Good morning everyone, can you here me", still echoed in my ears, as if I was still in Iceland. When it was possible to see the aurora, David would lead us to drive to a place without light pollution to chase the aurora. Even though he was very tired after a day of driving, he still worked hard to provide us with a better experience for this tour group. I will come back to Iceland many times in my life, to a country full of surprises, northern lights, volcanoes, pure air and water, to explore Iceland with David and Maggie, and maybe propose to my girlfriend in the future... who knows. I mean, who doesn't want to have many unforgettable memories in Iceland! If you are considering traveling to Iceland and are reading this review, if you are considering troll tours 8-days around the island. Then you will get an incredible and precious 8 days in a "country not on earth"!!!

Christmas 2024 😍 - Had an absolutely amazing time! Was so great getting to know the individuals in our group and am so thankful how well we all got along. Although December = mostly white and snow, we had a few days where we had both some sun and gorgeous skies, as well days of storms and crazy rides. We even had aurora lights! It was definitely an adventure I will hold onto forever. And highly recommend to all. I strongly believe our trip would not have been the same without our incredible guide, Thales. Who made sure we saw as much as we could, even given the tough weather on some days. He made sure we were always safe first and comfortable on our trip. And of course, kept track of any aurora sightings. So grateful and soo worth it!

Winter Ring Road Trip - My guide, Johann Kari, was fantastic throughout the entire trip. He was friendly, extremely helpful and ensured that everyone got the most out of their experience. I would absolutely book again with him in the future. I enjoyed the unique accomodations, such as the farmstead in Bruarjokull. The hospitality of the hosts here was fantastic. All of the accomodations throughout the trip were modest but very cozy, clean and well-kept (perfect for visiting during the Winter months) The whale watching company, in Haiganes was also exceptional. This was a great experience to top off the trip. For future bookings, I would recommend that TROLL try to make the groups on the multi-day bookings more diverse (in age, nationality, solo travelers vs. large families etc.) to help group members bond/create friendships while together for several days on the road. One suggestion could also be to offer a grouping catering to "Solo Travelers" much like TROLL offers a grouping called "Asian Tours" to cater to a specific demographic. I would also suggest reinforcing the required clothing/gear/fitness necessary for some of the more physically demanding activities such as hiking the glacier, as those tours were "held up" because some individuals on the tour were not prepared for weather or the physical requirements of the particular activity. One suggestion could be to add an "Adventure Seeker" tour to tour offerings. Overall, for travelers looking to visit Iceland during the cold Winter months I would recommend a mini-bus tour over renting a car because of the driving conditions on the Ring Road. I would also prepare yourself for very large crowds of tourists at most of the key destinations (black sand beaches, waterfalls etc.) despite visiting during the winter off-season.
