ITINERARY

					  Great trip.  Julian was a great host and his knowledge and enthusiasm made our trip a real pleasure.  - We visited Iceland in early October for 6 days. Friends who had recently been to Iceland strongly recommended that we connect with Arctic Exped to ensure that we made the... read more most of our time there. We are so happy that our friends told us about Julian (owner/founder).  Julian took care of virtually every aspect and logistic of our trip from the moment he picked us up at the airport on our arrival to the moment he returned us to the airport for our departure flight. Julian designed a bespoke experience for us that took into account our preferences for food, accommodations, adventure, and sight-seeing. With his extensive knowledge of (and love for) Iceland, Julian expertly guided us through glaciers, ice caves, waterfalls, black sand beaches, and so much more – all while educating us about the geography and history of the places we were visiting. And on top of it all, Julian was an absolute delight to spend the week with (and we don’t say that about many people)! We are telling all of our friends to visit this wonderful country and that Arctic Exped is the absolute best way to make the most of your time there.
