Iceland done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Good value for what's included.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy.

Iceland done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Recommended.
