Amazing tour all around. Our guide, Bjorn was excellent, knowledgeable, and experienced. Driving in Iceland in the winter can be challenging and we felt completely safe and comfortable the entire tour. We saw everything we were hoping to see including reindeer, the northern lights, and whales. We learned a lot about the country and the landscapes during the tour. The tour bus, hotels and food options were all great as well.

My partner and I couldn’t rate this tour high enough! From the beginning with arctic adventures quick and easy response to our last minute luggage question, the company were always so professional. We absolutely lucked out with the best tour leader Bjorn! He not only went above and beyond from the moment he picked us up (on time and easy instructions to follow), he even ensured when the weather wasn’t great we had the best time. Bjorn had a great sense of humour and made everyone feel welcome. He gave great local recommendations, shared so many stories and taught us lots about Iceland’s history as well as stopping at some amazing hidden stops throughout the day. The tour was well organised and we loved it! We will definitely be recommending Arctic Adventures and if you’re lucky enough we hope you get Bjorn as your tour guide!!

This trip was amazing! I came to Iceland on a solo trip and it was worth every moment. Our group had Krzysztof as our guide and he was not only patient and kind but we learned so much about this beautiful country from him. 💖 He has such great energy and it is easy to see that he is passionate about what he does. Krzysztof made sure that everyone in our group was safe and comfortable during our entire trip and made every experience one to remember for a lifetime. He was also very funny and light hearted and made everyone laugh. 10/10 would book another trip with Krzysztof- he was awesome. 👏🏻 My heart now belongs to Iceland 🇮🇸

We had an amazing 6 day adventure around Iceland! Arctic Adventures’ guide Krzysztof was great, and the group we shared the journey with will be remembered always when I speak of our trip! Everything went smoothly and was so enjoyable. Driving the Ring Road was a little overwhelming to me, and so we decided on a group tour so we could relax and take in everything. It was the best decision and allowed us to experience beautiful and amazing Iceland stress free. I would definitely request Krzysztof! He has set the bar high for any future group trips we may take.

Wonderful 6-day around Iceland tour by this company. Well planned itinerary, punctual pickup and comfortable van. Accomodation and breakfast were of exceptional quality. Dinner choices were more than adequate. Shout out to the most amazing tour guide Mr. Hjalti Björnsson, who is not only a professional and knowledgable guide, but also a friendly and passionate person who showed us the ways of a true Icelander. We were really fortunate to have him as our tour guide. Overall, I cannot recommend this tour enough.

Overall had a great experience because of our guide and driver Vjeran. The weather was terrible with unexpected snow, ice, etc, and other conditions made the trip difficult. The driving conditions were very difficult. He tried his best to make the trip as comfortable and memorable for us as possible, kept us safe, and adjusted the itinerary so we could see and experience as many things as possible.

I had an absolute blast on this trip! I'm still buzzing from the amazing experiences we had. Our tour guide, Krzysztof, was absolutely fantastic - he took us on an unforgettable adventure, showing us breathtaking hidden waterfalls and secret spots that few tourists get to see. The small group size was perfect, and I loved meeting such wonderful and friendly fellow travelers. From the stunning sights to the incredible people we met along the way, every moment was pure magic. I'd highly recommend Krzysztof to anyone looking for an insider's perspective on Iceland 🇮🇸.

Arctic Adventures have done a great job organising the tour. We were lucky to have good weather and our itinerary was on time everyday. We saw the iconic places as well as some unexpected natural wonders such as a rainbow arch in the middle of the ring road. I also met wonderful friends from this group! Krzysztof is the perfect guide. He took care of everything very well with a great attitude. His positivity and energy has made this trip even more unforgettable. I highly recommend booking a tour with Arctic Adventures and if you can going on a tour with Krzysztof!
