The BEST!!! - Best guide ever & one of the best experiences of my life. Can't wait to come back to Iceland and book with Arctic Exped again. I highly highly recommend!
Golden Circle and South Coast Private Tour - Julian was absolutely amazing! We did two days of tours, one in the South Coast and the other in the Golden Circle. He took us off the beaten path into... read more areas not crowded by tourists. These areas were absolutely breathtaking! He was very friendly, timely and knowledgeable about the areas and Iceland history. Already looking forward to coming back and seeing more! He definitely made our trip special, the South Coast tour was easily the highlight of our trip!
Phenomenal tour! - We had the absolute best experience with Arctic Exped! A huge thank you to Julian for organizing our 3-day South Highlights tour with Garðar. Julian went above and beyond—checking in... read more with us daily, recommending excellent accommodations, and even providing extra raincoats when our luggage didn’t arrive. The level of care and attention made our trip stress-free and unforgettable. Garðar was a fantastic guide, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to experience Iceland. We wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Arctic Exped again for a future adventure!
