    We had great time in Iceland. Our tour guide Peter was spontaneous and knowledgeable about his country. He made sure that we could witness the Aurora Borealis and we did! We highly. Recommend this tour to anyone who wants to visit Iceland. Our accommodations were also wonderful. Thanks GJ travel.

    Overall, it was a well-organised tour which I would highly recommend when visiting Iceland. We really enjoyed the incredible scenery right throughout the tour. However, there are a few things which can definitely be improved. Firstly, the WIFI on our tour bus did not work and no efforts were made to rectify the issue throughout the tour which was a little disappointing. Secondly, we were slightly misguided by the information related to the "two evenings with "Northern Lights Program" specified in the tour itinerary. The so-called "Northern Lights Program" is simply a video presentation and hotel wake-up phone call to see the lights rather than a dedicated program to actually take people out to chase the lights. We were just very lucky to get a glimpse of the Northern Lights at one of our hotels. If the main reason to join this tour is to see the lights, then you may need to join a separate tour.

    Iceland is an incredible country to visit and the time we spent there was priceless. We had a technical problem: due to the weather the flight to Reykjavík was cancelled and postponed to the following day. We announced the travel agency and they provided a taxi in order th catch the tour. Instead to have a transportation from the company we had to pay an additional 300euros regardless was not our fault for the delay. Maybe you should consider such situation in your program. Another observation is about the guide. He was totally disinterested on our existence, totally unprepared to be a guide with knowledge, also a little bit impolite and rude.

    It was an excellent trip for the value. Our guide was a wealth of information and friendly. our driver was very smooth and amazing on her ability to know exactly where the buses body was in some tight parking lots as well as handling everyone's bags and by second day recognized whose bag was whose. Would recommend better communication between front desk of hotel about pick-up for first day. The main office may have known time and location but front desk persons did not have that information.

    What a magnificent adventure. The tour guide, Martina, was so knowledgeable and interesting. The group was caring and very diverse from all over. We saw some unbelievable natural wonders like glaciers and waterfalls. Our guide gave us old stories of trolls and founding members of Iceland. So many happy memories to share. Would highly recommend.
