Iceland Travel was a great company to work with on our trip. They booked some amazing little hotels and Bed and Breakfasts that I'm not sure we ever would have known about if we had tried booking the same trip on our own. Our agent also made some excellent recommendations on how to spend our time in Iceland. We enjoyed our trip so much and would book with Iceland Travel again in the future. It did take a little longer to get an initial response from the company, but they are a small agency. Once communication was established with them though, booking everything was incredibly easy and they were happy to make any customizations to our package that we needed or wanted for our tripShow more

A wonderful trip through a beautiful, natural country. Travel organization with Tourtadar has also worked well. The only comment I have, however, is that when booking the trip you rely on Wall of the organizers, as far as hotel is concerned, and assumes that all hotels are booked in the same category. But this was very different - from very good middle class to very simple, and upgrade was unfortunately not always possible. Hotel staff was everywhere, even in a simple hotel very friendly and concerned about the guests. Nevertheless, at the next booking will have to look much accurate me hotels list, or book yourself.Show more
