We had such an incredible week in Iceland! I traveled with my 10-year-old son, and Emanuela did a wonderful job helping us plan a trip that had the perfect balance of adventure, sightseeing, driving, and downtime.

From the beginning, Emanuela gave really thoughtful recommendations, including when to travel given that I would be self-driving with my son and the weather can be unpredictable. The itinerary was so well planned, with great hotels, manageable driving days, and a mix of experiences that we both loved.

My son unfortunately got sick right when we arrived, so we weren’t able to follow our itinerary the first day. The team was incredibly easy to reach and helped rearrange our Blue Lagoon visit for another day. It all worked out seamlessly, and we still got to experience everything we had hoped to.

And Iceland itself was absolutely spectacular. We were there right on the cusp of the season and were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights, along with the Golden Circle, glaciers, hot springs, rainbows, waterfalls, and more cute sheep than we could count. My son kept saying, “This is unreal. This is magic.” That pretty much sums up the trip.

I really appreciated Emanuela’s thoughtful planning, great recommendations, and the support when we needed it. It was such a special trip for my son and me, and one we’ll remember for a very long time!

Hotel Reviews
Hotel Eyja
Reykjavik

This hotel was great. The breakfast was really nice and the location was perfect. It’s out of the core so it’s easy to drive and park but close enough that you can just walk into the town easily and see beautiful views.

This was a beautiful hotel, great breakfast great location and views close to the school bus coffee but I think what it’s missing is some kind of central activity like a hot tub or something would’ve been nice here!

This was so awesome the girl that did the private lesson for my son was so sweet and nice 20 years old was very good with my son listening to him and teaching him and showing him all the things very patient and kind and caring. It was definitely one of the highlights of the trip for my son. He now wants to do horseback riding regularly lol

This was honestly one of the coolest things we did! It was a beautiful sunny day, which was nice, and our guide was exceptionally passionate about what he was doing, and he had my son as a little helper since my son was the only child on the tour which made him feel special and made the experience much more interesting for my 10-year-old. The bread was delicious and the tour itself was just like 45 minutes and it was perfect really unique.
