Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

This travel agent did a fantastic job in planning our 12 day Ring Road adventure through Iceland. Everything worked like clockwork even if the car company couldn’t get our GPS to work correctly - we still managed to find the hotels with the help of the detailed itinerary including pictures of the hotel that our agent had sent us. Our travel agent offered to find us another location to pickup a GPS but we decided we could find them with the information she had sent us. We definitely had all kinds of weather on this trip, sleet, hail, snow, sunshine. Beautiful scenery everywhere. Sometimes we thought we were in Montana, sometimes it felt like we were in the southwest US, sometimes it felt like we were in Switzerland. I Would definitely recommend this tour company in planning your Icelandic adventure.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

The food tour in Reykjavík was outstanding and gave us an insight on the type of foods to look for on our Icelandic adventure. I think one of highlights was the Fjallsarlon Iceberg Lagoon near Vatnajofull National Park and the waterfalls - I think we saw more waterfalls here than we did in New Zealand! All the hotels were great but the last one was spectacular - near the Blue Lagoon. This hotel had its own geo thermal baths and also gave you a complimentary pass tot he Blue Lagoon. After walking over there, we decided it was too crowded and came back to the hotel. Less crowded and more relaxing. The breakfast buffet here is out of this world.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

Perhaps stay a day longer in Reykjavik and not stay at the lodge in Hofn. The write up says it is a lodge with panoramic view over the glacier and mountains. Well this view is only from the dining room. There are trees planted so you can’t see this view from your cabin. Also thE night we were there, the restaurant was closed and the person managing the reservation desk couldn’t even recommend a restaurant in the town of Hofn.
