We had an awesome time in Iceland! Our tour guide, Herdis, was very kind and helpful! The tour allowed us to visit national parks, rural farms, craters, explore lava caves, see the beaches, visit waterfalls and more! We learned a lot about Iceland, got to explore the city of Reykjavík, and met great people. Herdis taught us about the culture and history of Iceland and gave us opportunities to try local bakeries, restaurants, and smaller markets to try Icelandic foods and cuisine. We were even lucky enough to catch the Northern Lights on our last day there! Loved it, can't wait to go back!

Our guide knew the area well and took us on some amazing hikes. Our guide was flexible and appropriately changed the itinerary to accommodate the weather forecasts. Communication through WhatsApp worked well. I appreciated being able to see ahead of time maps of the hikes with distances and elevations. The vehicle used to transport our group had mechanical issues and at times felt unsafe. Meals were tasty but used most of the same ingredients all week. All in all, a good experience with no regrets.
