- Eleanor· January 26th, 2025My Iceland experience through GJ Travel was purely sublime. The itinerary was excellent and Andres, our guide, was informative. Iceland truly deserves the reputation of being the Land of Fire and Ice. I encountered the ice first hand and saw the effects of the fire part throughout the places we have visited. Seeing waterfalls, lava caves, ice caves, lava fields and volcanoes make up for a truly remarkable Icelandic experience. The Icelandic people I have met were all lovely. They speak English fluently. The passport control officer even wished me a happy birthday. Andres, our guide, educated us of every volcano, mountain, lava field, lakes, shores and beaches, waterfalls, practically on everything that we passed by. He regaled us of stories of the Yule lads and trolls, of elves, of the Vikings, of sagas and folk lores, and of Iceland’s rich literature. He must have been a teacher in another life (I did hear him mention, “my students”.) He tried to manage our expectations about seeing the Northern Lights (the weather forecast was not cooperating) and I believe he was as happy as us when the magical and mesmerizing Northern Lights appeared. It seemed that he made it his personal mission for us to see the lights and I seem to have seen the pressure being lifted from his shoulder when we did. Thank you Andres for all the information. I have to read up on it now to retain it. 😊 The hotel staff were wonderful. Wake up calls were scheduled when the lights appeared. The guides for the lava and ice caves were both informative and delightful. The accommodations provided a warmth atmosphere in the cold and remote locations the tour brought us to. The only service that I did not find too satisfactory was the FlyBus. Although information was provided by GJ Travel ahead of time, the experience could have been better. It is a series of two buses; one that brings you to the bus station after which you transfer to a smaller bus to take you to your destination identified by colour zones. On my arrival, the second driver did not come to the waiting area nor announce her colour zone. I nearly missed her. It was a good thing I saw a red sign she was holding that I went to ask. On my departure, the driver that took us to the airport did not assist passengers with their luggage. Each passenger literally crawled in the underbelly of the bus to retrieve his/her suitcase/s. Is Iceland expensive? Yes! A 2.5 kilometre taxi ride was $30.00. Dining is prohibitive but the other choice is to starve. It is what it is. I always try local dishes when I travel and I have mentally prepared for this. A single dish costs at least $50.00. The menu is also limited. It is either lamb, fish or burgers. (Burgers are $50.00. No wonder MacDonald’s did not survive). I tried lamb (3x) and it was delicious. It was a breath of fresh air when I saw chicken and pasta as choices on one hotel. The server recommended the pasta and it was good. For lunches, there are not much in terms of choices in remote locations, so, we either went to a cafe or grocery stores. Sandwiches in grocery stores were a lot more reasonable price wise. I tried the ham, Brie and cranberry sandwich and it was delicious. The hiccups were minor and did not in anyway dampen my Icelandic experience. I have already started researching to go back and see the midnight sun.Show moreTrip date: January 2025

- MBMaría· October 24th, 2024Excellent agency GJ Travel. The impeccable hotels and the best of all was the local guide. All within the times and very organized. However, I consider it important to take into account if there are people who do not speak English, to have the option of some team that allows translation or explanation in the person's language. In my case, I traveled with my mom who doesn't speak English and it was complicated for her. And give more time at the souvenir shop stop. Otherwise, everything is fabulous. I recommend it, with the guide Margaret, an incredible womanShow moreGJ Travel commented on this reviewThank you so much for this review. We are delighted to hear that you were happy with the tour!

- PCPETER· October 9th, 2024Our Northern Lights Tour was excellent. Our guide/driver was helpful and knowledgeable and went out of his way to add interest to the tour. For instance we saw local farmers and their families mustering and sorting sheep. This was totally unexpected and would not have happened without his local knowledge. We were fortunate to only have a small group on our tour and this gave our guide more flexibility. We saw the Northern Lights on three occasions in spite of the cloudy weather at the start of the tour. The tour program was well rounded with a good blend of waterfalls, glaciers, churches and beaches etc. We never felt waterfalled out or if we see one more glacier.Show moreTrip date: September 2024
