					  Private Family Adventure Off-the-Beaten Path - We spent three days with Julian and Arctic Exped and it was incredible. Julian was super-responsive and worked to craft a private itinerary that was exactly what we wanted -... read more off the beaten path, true adventure. He delivered and recommended incredible hotels as well. From ice climbing and scuba diving to hiking and relaxing in natural springs, we did it all. And, when our son was left hanging by another travel company, Julian helped us arrange transportation, no questions asked. If you want great adventure with excellent service, go with Arctic Exped.

					  Fantastic Private Tour Experience  - If you're looking for a private tour guide for Iceland, look no further than Julian and Artic Exped. From our initial communications, Julian was a pleasure to deal with as... read more he was very responsive and accommodating. Our group of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids aged 10-13) did two day tours with Julian, one covering the Golden Circle and one to the South Coast with glacier hike, and everyone loved the experience. In both instances, Julian seamlessly covered all we wanted to see and more. We enjoyed his company and his extensive knowledge about the country. The glacier hike was definitely a highlight. Julian was fantastic with the kids and we all felt very safe durings this unique experience. I recommend Julian without hesitation.
