I never thought that I would make it to iceland with so little fuss . Èric was amazing in helping me plan my trip and the itinerary provided and hotels booked were all good places. All my questions were answered. I only had to study the itinerary like on a few weekend before my trip to see which are the places that we are going , and also look through the optionals to see which i really want to go to . Despite the weather, i really enjoyed my trip . He also helped me find a local photographer for my photoshoot in the Capital . Thank you for a wonderful trip .

We had the most thoughtful and helpful advice in preparation for our trip to Iceland from our guide, Eric. I can recommend his services without reservation. Our holiday was a huge success in large part due to Eric's guidance. In particular we valued his recommendations of out-of-the-way spots that we could never have found otherwise. Very often we found ourselves feeling gratitude for all Eric's forethought and insider knowledge. There was only one minor glitch with a hotel booking in a remote location. When we reported this on our return, it was dealt with prompt reimbursement of a payment made. Our spec was a trip to the Westfjords off the beaten track using local services where possible. This was taken seriously and an itinerary was delivered that met our needs precisely. We were grateful for the careful discussion beforehand that delivered this successful outcome. I hope others will be able to benefit from the services of this very thoughtful and well-informed guide, Lucy A.

The easiest, quickest answer is that the trip was amazing. Summary: Seeing Iceland was a bucket list item that I feel fortunate to have checked off, and I consider the entire experience to have been life-affirming. My education and entire career have been in the geosciences, and for anyone interested in earth history and processes, Iceland is clearly an earth-lover's playground, where everything is a feast for the eyes, not just the "highlights" (the planned stops) but all along the drives from point to point. It is fascinating that Iceland's landmass is so young when it leaves the impression of being so ancient, so primal. Seeing Icelandic horses and sheep literally everywhere and viewing all the farms, many nestled below a waterfall, takes one back to simpler, serene times. The Icelandic people are so nice, and I am both amazed and thankful that everyone speaks fluent English. I quickly became acclimated to the colder temperatures and, in fact, found it invigorating. The early September weather was wonderful, with just moments here and there where the wind gusts were intense. I would go back to Iceland again and again if that were possible, but I do plan at least one more trip, so that my family can experience what I did.

I just finished a 7 night trip around the ring round in Iceland that was organized by Jenny. It was an amazing trip that exceeded my expectations. The car was excelled and the accommodations for the most part were lovely. A couple of things that should be looked at, one letting people know about national holidays in Iceland, one of the days on our trip was a national holiday and was tough to get groceries. Also, the maps weren’t always great but that’s understandable with google maps. The itineraries were packed with options which was nice. All in all a great trip

We had a wonderful trip in Iceland, from Isafjordur to Reykjavik. I am very glad we went north to south. It allowed us to discover the beautiful wilderness of Iceland with few tourists. The closest to Reykjavik the more tourists, especially in the golden circle. Even there, the organization and direction of crowds were such that it was perfectly acceptable, but our experience was really enhanced by starting from the calm beauty of the north towards the south. We were surprised by the roads, the mud: some roads appeared perilous to us ( Bolfjall mountain, where we were caught in fog at mid slope, and the descent to Ytri yunga beach very muddy and slippery). Anyway, we managed, and we are very grateful to all the suggestions. Gorgeous landscapes, cliffs and villages. We feel that in few days we saw so many diverse beauties: lava fields, volcanoes, cliffs, waterfalls. A real glimpse at the geographic landscapes of Iceland. The itinerary was great, well explained and beautiful, although we have decided that, for our next trip, we’d rather stay in a place 2 days and visit from there, so we get a break from driving every day. We decided to move the blue lagoon visit to the day before our departure, instead of as designed just before our departure. Even if it was a back and forth from Reykjavik, I was grateful to be able to scrub all the salt from my hair and to have time to dry my bathing suit before putting it back in my suitcase. I just had to write one email, and the lady in charge immediately responded and changed our tickets. Thank you for that. The blue lagoon was not what we liked too crowded, and not natural, maybe an alternative to a regular naturally heated public pool where people from Reykjavik go could be suggested. When we got to our apartment in Reykjavik, we couldn’t find any email with the entrance code. We call the suggested number and Michael (?) responded ( Sunday at 8pm) and looked for it. Efficient and extremely nice. Thank you so much for a great experience in such a short time ( and all the hotels were great).
