” Five Stars, definitely. We also took
the following tours: AH10, AH12,
AH31, AH35 and AH150. All of them
excellent. We were especially im-
pressed with all of the staff involved
with the tours: often they went well
beyond the call of duty to respond
to their passengers. Such things as
helping with luggage, waiting for tar-
dy people, or just being helpful. One
minor suggestion stemming from
AH35. Perhaps a few, two or three,
short stops for photography. I would
have liked to take pictures of the older
lava flows and the moss, etc. I realize
that the highways are often not suited
for such stops, but perhaps certain
‘turn offs’ or driveways might make it
possible to provide such short stops.
We were very impressed with all of
the tours we went on with Iceland Ex-
cursions as well as with the service
from and to the airport. We rate all of
our experiences with Gray Line as 5
Star!”
would like to go on another tour with
this guide. “

“Great tour. Great guide. Iceland
showed of the beauty of its fall colour
palette. The soaring vistas of the
plains and mountains has made a
lasting impression. Great lamb soup
for lunch. Highly recommended tour.”

”The Airport Express was an excel-

the airport. The friendly had some
wonderful, wry and insightful com-

on the drive into Reykjavik which was
a wonderful introduction to Iceland.
The service was prompt, profession-
al, and friendly - beyond simply cour-
teous. I would highly recommend it.
I also took their Golden Circle tour
which was excellent.”

“Great tour and fair price! The com-

and in the right order - especially not
having slept on the plane ride over
and being extreemly overtired and
jet-lagged. The Blue Lagoon is really
blue and revived me - just plain fun!
The Golden Circle tour was fascina-
ting and I’m not geologically or scien-
tifically minded. It was very informa-
tive, interesting, not too long - I got
a good feel for the country. The driv-
ers, guides, depot staff were helpful,
friendly and above all accommodat-
ing. With only one day in which to
“see it all”, if I never make it back to
Iceland I feel content with my “taste”
of the country, people and it’s history.
Thanks! “
