    My tour was beyond what I had hoped. The tour guide and our driver were absolutely perfectly balanced. We often got to the excursion sites before other tour groupes which was hugely beneficial. We fitted in so much in just a few days and loved ever-minute.., my first solo trip was an epic success and a great mixture of others too. I even made friends with a few fellow travelers and hoping to book to come again. Watch this space and thank you for organising a trip so well. Happy New year to the team 😊

    We had a great guide an amazing driver. We felt safe and it was amazing fun. Unbelievable sites with great information given constantly. Can’t imagine you could have so much fun The guide and driver made it so wonderful I was worried because my husband has a walker for mobility but they helped at every turn.

    GJ travel and Auguste our tour guide were exceptional. Every day was better than the last. We didn’t see the northern lights however what we did see was just as magical. I can’t recommend Gj Travel and Auguste our tour guide more.

    The tour packed a lot in and altho only 3 full days of site seeing it felt a lot longer. We saw some amazing waterfalls, geysirs, the blue lagoon and stunning scenery and got interesting commentary along the way from our lovely guide. Unfortunately we didn't get to go to Vik and the black lava beach due to bad weather conditions and closed roads however the guide found alternative things for us to see instead. Spending NYE in a small town surrounded by all the fireworks and bonfires was amazing and the cabins on Arhus were in a great location, where we managed to see the lights HOWEVER I hope they don't use this accommodation again as there was no one in reception and some of the group had no power, lights or heating! GJ Travel were great in getting up all upgraded the next night to the hotel for free. The itinerary says that on 2 nights we were going to get presentations on the northern lights and a guided tour with midnight refreshments and the accommodation in arhus could also give wake up calls to see them. However there wasn't anyone working at the cottages and it was a case of just go outside to see them and a printed out fact sheet, which was pretty poor
