Eva couldn’t have been better. Her attention to detail for every single day proved amazing. She made changes as we asked and was spot on with choices she made for us. We were pretty late in planning but Eva made it all work out.

The hiking guide, Izak, was fabulous. I’d go anywhere with him. Super knowledgeable and competent.

The guide we had on the glacier hike was Kasia from Local Guide and she was also exceptional!!! She was great with everyone in the group and explained so much about the glacier and geology. She was super knowledgeable and shared it well.

Joanne really enjoyed her horseback riding and a highlight was the glacier lagoon zooming around to see the glorious icebergs.

We are in love with Iceland and Eva really made it perfect.

Oh, and our favorite place to stay was the Herring House. Exceptional hosts and lovely conversation and breakfast.

We had a bit of a problem at Vogafjós Farm Resort, as we had no shower water. Despite this, the place was lovely and the lodge was high-end. The rooms were nice, simple, and sweet.

We didn't have the best experience with the Fosshotel. It felt very impersonal. Not really our style of traveling. The people were perfectly nice there, but overall, it was not our favorite.

Reykjavík Culture and Food Walk Tour

Reykjavík

I enjoyed the Reykjavík Culture and Food Walk Tour because it was quite a unique way to explore the city after landing in Iceland. We visited five restaurants, which was a bit too much food in one sitting. However, the tour was a nice way to interact with the local cuisine and culture. I might consider doing it in another country with more interesting ethnic foods.

We visited Möðrudalur Farm and it was a lovely place. The area had a lot of bugs, which was a bit of a nuisance, but overall the experience was positive!

We visited Hvitserkur, which was a unique location. However, the long gravel road to reach the spot was a bit challenging. Despite this, we still had a great time!
