6-Day Small-Group Adventure Tour Around Iceland from Reykjavik

It was an awesome tour and it has exceeded my expectations by multiple folds. Let me begin with my first day's encounter with our tour guide cum coach driver - Norbert or fondly known as Norris. He was punctual on the pick-up time and welcomed us on board with open arms. It's a 20-seaters mini coach but there were only 13 of us for the entire trip so it was reasonably comfortable and we had the chance to rotate our seating arrangement throughout the journey. I was amazed that Norris's dedication to his job was so profound that he went for a second or even third round to ensure he did not omit picking up all his passengers on the list even though a couple of the passengers did not turn up at their respective pick-up destinations. We covered all the places as stipulated in the itinerary and we even had a few pleasant surprises when Norris diverted to some nearby interesting spots which were not on the itinerary. Kudos, Norris! I would say all the hotels included in the tour we checked in were fantastic with clean bedsheets, towels and shower facilities. Wi-fi was excellent in all the hotels. However there was a couple of hotels i think in the eastern / northern Iceland which were so isolated from the town center where we had to dine in the hotel restaurant. Personally i find the hotel food prices were exorbitant. Well, most of the things in Iceland are expensive anyway! We were given sufficient time to explore the sites and what i enjoyed the most was the informative commentaries given by Norris before we arrived at the next stops. Simply excellent. I just love his local folklore and troll stories which inspired me to buy a couple of these books for collection. It's so amazing that he could remember his story lines so well. You will never feel bored listening to his bedtime story everyday. So folks, if you are interested to explore Iceland and would like to join a local tour i strongly recommend you to go for Arctic Adventures. It's cool, stylist and value for money, Oh i nearly forgot to mention we had a great company of fun-loving people from all over the world in our small group - Australia, Ireland, Turkey, Germany, USA Ohio. Holland, Brazil and Malaysia! The small number is just the right size to mingle and know each other better. Of course we had already exchanged contact numbers to stay in touch. You see, new friends are easy to make when you participate in a smaller group tour. Last but not least, you need to be very picky to choose who your guide is if you ever consider joining Arctic Adventures to see Iceland. It gotta be Norris - the cool dude!!!! Ciao!

I loved my time in Iceland, and for the most part the tour with Arctic Adventures. Our guide, Frimann, was friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable about the country. They managed to squeeze so much fun into 6 days. It almost seemed too rushed as we had so much on our agenda that we were very limited in how long we could spend at each place we visited and there was a lot of driving time each day many times I'd have liked to stay longer, but on the other hand keeping it to 6 keeps the cost down. Reasons why I cannot give the full 5 stars: The vehicle was way too cramped, particularly the back row. It was ridiculously uncomfortable to squeeze 4 full grown adults into that row for the long amount of driving we did each day. Too much time in the car and not enough time enjoying Iceland's many wonders again, it was necessary in order to keep this itinerary at this cost, but all the same.
