What a week! - Everyday was amazing and everyday was totally different. We went from cold and wet to blue skies and hot. Blown away by the varied scenery. Vignir as our guide was the best - cool and calm and funny and knowledgeable. I learnt a lot and have a deep admiration for the Icelandic people and culture. Feel privileged to have spent this time with him and will miss everything.

Waterfalls, Glacier walking, hot geothermal baths and sheep - The 8 day Highlights Hitter tour is actually the 6 day ring Road tour with 2 additional day trips added at the end The 6 day Tour was excellent- Nick was our guide and he was fantastic. We saw so many waterfalls, so many sheep, walked on a glacier and enjoyed the Myvatan geothermal hot baths- so many things we would never have accomplished trying to do it on our own. Great to have a guide like Nick getting us there, and most excursions were covered (whale watching, ice cream at a dairy but not riding the Icelandic horses for example) Food and lodging was great-lunch spots for bread and soup not to be missed. And Nick continually pointed out spots that were used in the series Game of thrones and other TV/movie sets. Elisa for the Snaefellnes peninsula was very good and again got us to places we would not know to go look for. We saw an Arctic fox! The final day was Super Jeep in the highlands- we were a little anxious about how rough a ride it would be. Martin and the SuperJeep were great and the ride was smooth. More beautiful waterfalls and then a walk through lava fields- other worldly. We saw so much more than we could have done on our own in an 8 day time frame- busy but amazing. Given we were in the vans so long, the guides were excellent about bathroom breaks. Only criticism is the hand off for the 2 Day excursions on day 7 and 8 could be smoother- our guides were surprised we were travelling with luggage, but they worked it out. Highly recommend.

Multi-day driving tour of Iceland - Truly memorable trip around the entire island of Iceland with Diddi. What a phenomenal guide! This trip involves a LOT of riding in a 19 passenger mini-bus, and Diddi made it exceptional by sharing all his knowledge of Icelandic history and culture. He also went out of his way to share some wonderful surprises, like a side trip to a puffin nesting ground, a visit to an Icelandic horse farm, and so much more.

Outstanding !!! - We’ve just completed the 8 day ring road Iceland tour. It was absolutely brilliant. Our tour guide Karl was fantastic. He went above and beyond to make our trip sensational. My only feedback was that we only ‘toured’ for 6 days. The extra 2 days was really only Arctic Adventures organising the accommodation for the nights In Reykjavik either side so effectively it really was just a 6 day tour. That said by them organising those 2 nights accommodation saved me from having to do it. The accommodation throughout the 8 days was sensational and Karl certainly guided us to the best restaurants along the way. We ended up with only 9 on the tour and we all got on brilliantly. It was a week I’ll never forget. Iceland certainly lived up to its reputation and so too did Arctic Adventures. They run a fabulous and reputable company.

Three Cheers for Arctic Adventures Iceland Tour - My 8 day Iceland tour organized by Arctic adventures was one of the best travel experiences of my life. The team at Arctic adventures is very professional, responsive and helpful. The guide I had is truly the best travel guide I have ever had and I travel extensively. Arctic Adventures delivered everything and more. Their website is amazing as are their support staff and guides (at least the one I had who was beyond amazing). I cannot say enough amazing things about the country but that is another story... My only unpleasant experience relates to having nearly missed my return flight because I was simply not picked up by a company called Flybus that is listed on their website: but I would not hold articular branches per se as being responsible for the same. Artic adventures gets an A plus, a 10 on 10 score!!
