Cutomized adventure - Julien was responsible for my intense adventure in Iceland. As part of an ambitious but difficult plan, in a really short time not only that we've climbed the highest peak... read more in Iceland - Hvannadalshnúkur, but we also did some ice climbing, sightseeing down the road plus freedive in Silfra! Reliable, creative and responsible - these are the features that make it worth choosing ArcticExped. Highly recommend!

Truly a great trip. Julian is an expert in many things. - Julian from start to finish was fantastic. Has the Toyota Landcruiser which is perfect for the trip and comfortable for family of 4.
Trip of a Lifetime in Iceland - We finished a small group tour for 7 days in October with another company and added the private South Coast tour with ice cave with Julian for 3... read more days. This was actually the best part of our entire trip. Julian was very knowledgeable about Iceland and his love for the country really came through. He was very professional, pleasant and kind. He really took care of all the details. We were able to visit a private black beach where our footprints were the only ones there-stunning views. We went to Diamond beach, Glacier Lagoon, Seljalandsfoss (where he provided waterproof jackets to walk behind the falls), Skogfoss. He even convinced me to put on crampons and visit an ice cave. (Not a small thing after knee replacement surgery 4 months earlier) He literally was there every step of the way and I only attempted it because I trusted him. (True, Julian) We visited Reynisfjara beach, glacier Lagoon, churches and so many sites! I really liked that he knew uncrowded places for the best views. He also took us to some great lunch spots that were unique. His excellent photography was a great record of our trip. My only regret was that we did not book our entire tour with him.
