    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!

    Ronan was an excellent guide. He is knowledgeable, full of energy, and seems to genuinely enjoy the tours and Iceland. He is able to pull the entire group together so it feels like a family by the end of the trip. All of the activities were excellent and the selected restaurants were great. The days are jam-packed with activities and sites to see, so it isn’t the most relaxing vacation if that is what you are looking for. Iceland was beautiful and we are glad we got to visit. We did see the Northern Lights during the first week of April, but they were somewhat faint behind the clouds. Ronan creates such a fun and unique trip that the Northern Lights become an afterthought by the end.

    It was only our 2nd tour with G Adventures but it ranks up there as one of the top tours we?ve ever been on over the years. The group, the guide and the itinerary all combined to make a short tour so memorable. I really feel like we got our money?s worth taking this tour with G as well as the best use of our travel time. Thank you!
