ITINERARY

  The BEST way to experience Iceland! - We had a 3-day private tour with Julian and our time with him was outstanding.  He customized the trip to fit our interests and shared his historical knowledge and... read more experiences with us to enhance our trip.  The private transportation was very comfortable. He was professional yet personable.  As a special treat for our 30th anniversary, he surprised us with champagne in a private ice cave tour. I highly recommend Arctic Exped and we will definitely use them again for future trips.

  Once in a lifetime experience with phenomenal guide - Our family of four (two young teens and two adults) loved every minute of our time with Julian. He was quite responsive from the moment we booked, helping us customize... read more our tour to exactly what we wanted to see, was perfectly on time for our pickup, and went out of his way to tailor each activity to the physical limitations of our group. Julian was so friendly and knowledgeable about the landscape and ecology of Iceland, pointing out details we never would have noticed on our own. The small details are really what set him apart from other guides or group tours - reliable private transport, adaptability, experience and knowledge of Iceland, and he even stopped for snacks for my aways hungry teen! This was by far one of the best tours we have ever taken. We had such an amazing time with Julian that we booked a second tour days later with him as well!
