We absolutely loved Iceland. It was magical mystery tour. We thought Tour Radar provided us with enough excursions to amazing sights, that it enabled us to make decisions for what we’d like to do on our next visit. There’s too much to explore. Tour Radar provided excellent communication throughout the process, and managed to find us accommodation in the high season, at late notice, when others couldn’t. I was a little concerned when I realised Tour Radar didn’t have a physical presence in Iceland…..but the communication was so quick that it all went very smoothly. It was my first such virtual tour booking….it worked! Thanks to everyone involved.Show more

This was a great adventure. The trip is well organized and once we booked a tour the company was very responsive. There are so many places to see and explore each day, and it makes for long days with late arrivals at the hotels. All the hotels were very satisfactory. I had 2 concerns regarding the trip. 1) The beer spa. Our visit was scheduled for 2pm and there is no way that we could possibly been there by that time. It followed a long day of exploring the Snaefellsness Pennisula. It did not seem possible to cover that amount of area and still arrive back in time for the beer spa appointment. We had to skip this one. 2) Why was Hella selected as one of our hotel overnights? We had to cover so much ground and events in the first few days and then suddenly our daily driving time dropped significantly the last couple of days. What were we supposed to do near Hella?Show more

Thank you for your kind words. We are glad that you had a great time in Iceland. To reply to your questions: 1. In case customers cannot make it in time, most of the activities can be amended for later that day, if there is availability. 2. Iceland's attractions/points of interest are not evenly distributed in the teritory, so some days might consist in more driving and less stops or viceversa, Same rule being applied for the accommodations along with their availability at the time being. Hope to see you again in Iceland!
