					  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.

					  Iceland in November - Julien was an incredible tour guide. During our one week, we were fortunate enough to be able to see and experience a lot in Iceland. He showed us beautiful scenery... read more in more remote areas including a black beach and brand new ice caves. He also was always monitoring and was able to give us a wonderful Northern Lights experience. I highly recommended Arctic Exped and working with he Julien was an unmatched experience!
