Michele Bardasi
When I travel, it's important for me to have an authentic experience in order to enjoy the places I visit, especially in nature. When I plan trips for others too, I aim for this.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in customized activities and holidays in general, in the Westfjords region and all across Iceland. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"After some years of traveling, living in different places and working in different fields, but often in the tourism industry, I settled down in Iceland mainly because of its nature and I'm happy to have ended up as a travel agent in the Westfjords."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"One summer evening I went for a short walk in a nice and solitary area I didn't know, not far out of Reykjavík. I eventually came back to the car three hours later, after wandering through a lava field and ending up on top of a volcano watching the midnight sun setting."

The self-drive loop also includes stops in Iceland's two biggest cities, and numerous natural sites like volcanoes, waterfalls, lava fields, black sand beaches, glaciers, and blockbuster attractions in the Golden Circle.

Finish the adventure with a soak in the Blue Lagoon before your return flight home.

Outstanding team · Iceland - Oct 23 - Nov 2, 2019
Michele and his team did a wonderful job. My expectations were high for this trip; and, my expectations were left in the dust for what my experiences actually were on this trip. The accommodations were top notch. The itinerary that was made for me, was spot on, perfect. Michele and his team were able to notify me immediately of an issue with one of the excursions I was going to take, avoiding me driving out of my way to find out it had been cancelled. The few questions I had, their response... read more
