    Accommodations, food that was provided by the tour company and most experiences were good, but not exceptional.

    We enjoyed Iceland so much, especially seeing humpback whales up close, the trip to Joanna’s goat farm and hiking into a glacier. The smaller tour group and excellent tour manager made the experience so memorable. Highly recommended.

    If you are not an experienced traveler, this is a good trip for you. There is a lot of hand-holding and not very much free time. They do pack a lot of sites and experiences into the itinerary but little time to do things on your own. Meals and meal choices were my least enjoyed experiences as lunches while traveling were often gas station pit stops and group dinners had very limited selections — basically fish or lamb at every dinner. The Glacier walk and natural scenery (waterfalls, geysers, hot springs) were the most memorable experiences on this trip.

    "Meal Provided" situation needs to be revisited. If I am spending the night at a hotel where there are no other restaurant options but the hotel restaurant, then that meal MUST be provided. Think about it....

    Loved the whale watching on the Zodiac and the walk through the ice cave! We saw humpbacks and a blue whale and lots of puffins!

    I feel that this tour did not meet the Collete standard that I am familiar with from my previous 2 tours. I have come to expect 4 and 5 star hotels from my previous tours. The hotels we stayed at were only 2 or 3 stars. The Tour Manager took us around to look at lava rock which can be found in many parts of the world. I feel this was a waste of my travel dollars and time when we could of be touring a hydroelectric plant. We were taken to several water falls that were less than impressive considering our group was from the USA & Canada were we have Niagra Falls. Our time would of been better spent going to a Northern Lights Museum and learning about the Northern Lights. We were taken on tours of a Goat and Sheep/horse farms. When I arrived back in the USA as the passport control officer asked me if I had been to any farms in Iceland. I felt as though I had to lie to avoid extensive interrogation and inspection of my luggage. I know this from previous experience at passport control. Therefore, please do not take USA citizens to places where they have to lie to get back into the USA. I would not recommend this trip to my friends.
