.made us all feel special ie not just
another coach load. Weather was
not great but it stopped raining when
we were at the sights! No faults to
be honest . Right amount of time at
each stopping point. Thanks for great
holiday! I would definitely recommend
your company.”

“enjoyed this trip - went with my 13
year old daughter (who really enjoyed
herself) Rafting maybe a little tame for
me , but well organised and jump off
cliff into river was good fun.”

flavik Airport
“What could be nicer than spend-
ing a few hours at the Blue Lagoon
on the way to the airport? I love the
convenience of getting picked up at
my hotel and then not having to worry
about luggage while relaxing in those
magical waters.”

2011 - AH100 Keflavík Airport to
Reykjavík - One Way
“I booked the transfer from Keflavík
to Reykjavík and the return trans-
fer - everything can be done online,
from booking to payment, this was
very comfortable, quick and easy to
do. When we arrived at the airport,
we could not find the driver right
away, because there was of course
more than one Iceland excursions
bus - but one of the other drivers in
the arrival hall told us to look after a
person in an orange jacket (he was
waiting right outside the door). Apart
from this, there were absolutely no
problems, our luggage was stowed
into the bus and we were taken right
to the doorstep of our guesthouse.
When we went back to the airport 2
weeks later, it was the same: the bus
came to our guesthouse, the driver
put our suitcases into the bus and
asked how we liked our stay - very
friendly :-). The service is really good
and I will definitely use the airport ex-
press again the next time I’m in Ice-
land. Takk fyrir!”

“Great tour, great guide. He (french)
beautiful valley below doubled the
excitement. A short wondrous trek
through a nearby gorge, and a hike
up the lush hill in the woods of Por-
smork completed the adventure, al-
lowing for endless opportunities to
take in nature and to take gorgeous
photos. The side trip to Seljalands-
foss, a picturesque and lush setting
for a beautiful waterfall, was a nice
treat. Quite a memorable day ---- An-

“The tour was a nice length from the
afternoon/evening and we sae some
of the well-known East Iceland high-
lights including the National Park, wa-
terfall and Geysir. Our tour guide gave
great commentary on the tour bus
about all sorts of things; quite educa-
tional. Perfect for someone who does
not have a lot of time to do the full day
tour but wants to see the top sights
and learn more about Iceland. Also
great for the solo traveller.”

in spite of a two-hour detour through
the mountains (the beautiful Landma-

and at times steep, dirt road. The tour
could be improved by adding a gla-
cial walk (in addition to the boat ride
in the lagoon) since the drive to get
to the Jokulsarlon Lagoon is so long.”

Golden Circle Afternoon
“This was a wonderful tour. The
horseback riding was a lot of fun. The
owners of the stables provided a deli-
cious lunch for a nominal charge and
we had time for a quick visit to the
nearby Halldor Laxness museum be-
fore being picked up for the remain-
der of the tour. The tour guide and
driver were great. The bus and vans
were all in good working order and
clean. The drivers for all the Iceland
Excursions were careful, courteous,
respected the speed limit, and made
us feel safe. We would have liked to
have had more time at the Pingvellir
National Park though, and wished we
could have gotten off in Hverageroi
town to see the geothermal green
houses in operation.”

“On a practical level, despite pouring
rain, everything worked perfectly, the
bus to the Blue Lagoon, hand over
to the ATV company, etc. Your staff
were polite and helpful. Again, de-
spite the rain, the ATV ride through
the black vocanic rocks was exciting
and surreal and our guide even man-
aged to find a photo opportunity for
us in some shelter near the sea. We
all thoroughly enjoyed it. The Blue La-
goon was slightly surreal and strange;
lifeguards in yellow waterproofs yet
you’re bobbing about in hot, milky,
turquoise water with a white mud
facepack, drinking wine and eating
ice cream! Wonderful and we stayed
much longer than we’d intended.
Thank you for both experiences.”
