Suzanne Klein
The tour was great, the bus driver and tour guide were wonderful. i learned so much about Iceland and met a great group of people on my tour
Robyn Lynn Finch
Very pleasant and efficient service.
The tour was very informative and educational and at the same time entertaining. The Tour Director, Ellert, was very knowledgeable about almost any subject that came up during conversations. He encouraged questions from us. His stories were fun and informational as well as educational. The tour time was about right I think. The hotels were excellent.

Another splendid offering!
Well managed. Great content. A bit disappointed we had a day where we could not go to the glacier or Diamond Beach due to sustained 80-90 MPH winds. Iceland is stunning it all of its vastness. Ellert was a great guide. Knowledgeable, good sense of humor, and approachable. Another great offering by CIE!
Celeste Irene Riley
The hotels were very nice. The tour was rather fast paced and done on the tour chose not to engage in the some of the activities or stops.
I think there should be some downtime halfway through the tour
Margaret Peet
Great guide and great itinerary!
I gave the trip 4 stars because I was comparing it to a Rick Steves tour that has fewer participants and more time at each interesting location, and no inconvenient baggage handling system. In general, I thought this trip had a great guide and a great itinerary, though I would have liked more time at a few sites--particularly the folk museum and the Lava Center, and the park with multiple hot springs and geyser.
