Amazing Trip, Full of wonders - My 6 days trip in Iceland was really amazing, the tour cover most of the main tourist spots such as the waterfalls, glaciers and at the same time they brought me to discover the local culture, and the less touristy spots of Iceland. Totally recommended

Diddi was the Best for our Six Day Tour Around Iceland! - This tour was a trip of a lifetime. Was able to see so many places with the expertise of our tour guide, Diddi. Being a local and having his own familial history with Iceland there are so much information we learned that no one but a true Icelander would know. We had many "surprises" on the way due to his knowledge of the land, the culture and the people. I so loved the little places that Diddi knew to bring us to see the views, foods and people of Iceland. The Wilderness Center that was like living back in time with the buildings, scenery and the Sunday dinner was an experience I will never forget. He kept us on time and was invested in giving us a trip we would never forget. Thank you Diddi for putting up with our silly songs to pass time and sharing your heritage story with us. We will never forget you!

Northern lights - I actually did 8 day tour but would recommend just the 6 day as first day is bus trip to see Northern lights and last day is boat tour to see Northern lights.These are doable by yourself and run by another company.Vjeran was our guide and he was brilliant.We saw lots of extras things time permitting and explained the geology of iceland.Very passionate about his country.Small group which is such an advantage and plenty of opportunities to see Northern lights which we did.

Fantastic 6 day tour of iceland - We just returned from the 6 day island tour of Iceland. It was amazing. We normally do not take tours, but considering our lack of experience of driving on icy roads and our short available timeframe we decided to try this tour. We saw so many highlights of the island that I'm sure would have taken much longer if we were on our own. We did have mostly great weather, but there were a few times I was very happy that we were not driving. Our guide Diddi was fantastic, very knowledgeable of the areas, the stories and the history. Even when there was a problem with one of the wheels of the bus, solutions were found to keep us on schedule. I would highly recommend this tour!

6 Day Around Iceland with Vjeran - Been back in my hometown for a few days and can’t stop thinking about beautiful Iceland. We did the 6-Day Ring Road Tour with Vjeran and it was absolutely amazing- from the sights, activities, and food to Vjeran’s knowledge, storytelling, and light-heartedness. To top it off, we had a wonderful and diverse group of people on the tour to share the experience with. Thank you Vjeran and Arctic Adventures!

An incredible tour with Vjeran - We did the 6-day tour around Iceland and absolutely loved it. It was well organised, the hotels both charming and clean with some nice food options. We also got to see things that we would have not found on our own. Thanks to our guide Vjeran, who went above and beyond to show us beautiful places. Vjeran was very friendly, fun, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Thanks for a great trip Vjeran!

Northern Lights tour - We did the 6 day tour for the ring around Iceland and the experience was incredible, from the views to the hikes and excursions and the amazing food. Our tour guide Vjeran was the BEST. He made sure we were all engaged and went above and beyond with providing us with knowledge and history from one of the most beautiful countries. It was truly a great experience filled with memories I will cherish forever.

Unforgettable trip around Iceland with a great group and the best guide, Vjeran! - Had the best trip ever! The trip was very well organised and we stayed at beautiful properties around Iceland, all of which had breathtaking views / locations. The sightings of aurora on three nights made this beautiful country even more spectacular and snow on the last day of the tour was the perfect way to end things. Our guide, Vjeran, had the best sense of humour, and went above and beyond to make sure all of us had a great trip. With a mix of adventure and sight seeing every day, we also saw several extra sights all thanks to our great guide! We were also very lucky to have a great group of diverse people on the trip with us, who made it all the more fun.

Bad service in every aspect - Went on a guided 6 day tour with the company. We had a driver and guide combined. The driving was ok on occasion, but the guiding was non existent, resulting in us googling information of what we were seeing. The guide had zero personality either. We were also left to our own devices getting our heavy suitcases out of the trailer. During Day 2 of the tour I called the office of Arctic Adventures to complain about our situation. I was told that I would be contacted by the Team leader. Never received any feedback from the office, besides an email stating the company appreciated my feedback.

Disappointing Experience - While I had high expectations for this trip, several issues significantly impacted my experience: • Transportation Issues: A mini bus was provided for 17 people, which was inadequate for a road trip requiring a minimum of 350 km a day. The vehicle was cramped and uncomfortable, making long journeys difficult for everyone involved. • Guided Tours: he guided tours did not meet the promised standards. Arctic Adventure provided us with a driver who also acted as the guide. While he was friendly and nice, he lacked guiding experience. We did not receive a professional morning briefing for the day, nor clear information throughout our journey. Many of our questions went unanswered, which diminished the overall experience. • Sightseeing and break stops: The time allocated for sightseeing and breaks was not planned professionally. Some locations required more time for proper enjoyment, while others were given excessive time. This led to missed opportunities to fully appreciate the beautiful stops we visited. Additionally, we had unnecessary stops at gas stations and supermarkets, which further detracted from our experience. This led to missed opportunities to appreciate the stunning scenery and attractions. • Activities cancellation: Unfortunately, our whale watching tour was canceled due to bad weather. However, the way this cancellation was managed was not professional. We had a night in the lovely town of Akureyri, but due to a late arrival, we didn’t have a chance to explore. We noticed poor weather conditions in the morning and suggested to our guide that we check for alternative plans, like enjoying sometime in the town before proceeding. The guide assured us the weather was fine for whale watching. After a 30-minute drive, we were informed that the tour had been canceled with no alternative options provided. We ended up spending the day wandering between supermarkets, which was very disappointing given our expectations for this trip. • Customer Service: When I reached out for assistance during the trip, the response was unsatisfactory. Despite marking my emails as urgent, I did not receive a same-day response. There was no direct contact number provided for emergencies, and my inquiries were largely ignored. This left me feeling unsupported while dealing with unexpected service issues that I had paid for. • After-Sales Service: I sent multiple complaint emails with several reminders but received no response. While I received prompt replies before the sale, after-sales communication was nonexistent. This lack of support has been very frustrating. • Accommodation: The accommodation was acceptable and met my expectations These issues not only detracted from my overall enjoyment but also led to significant inconveniences
