We spent seven days in the south, southwest and west of Iceland. It was wonderful. Friendly people. Sparsely populated. Very quiet. Great roads. Everyone follows the rules of the road. Great seafood and lamb. Breathtaking geysers, waterfalls, with sheep and ponies everywhere. We would visit Iceland again.

Last month, I went on the 12-day grand tour of Iceland. I chose this tour because it went to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula as well as to the Westfjords. I had a brilliant time on the tour, despite the poor weather that Iceland was experiencing. This tour was capped off by seeing the latest volcanic eruption as I went on the flybus from Reykjavik to Keflavik to catch my flight home. The accommodation was very good, especially the apartment in Akureryi, which had its own hot tub. Ideal to use after a days travelling. I did also enjoy having breakfast in the cafe in the Botanical Gardens in Akureryi. The food in the hotels was really good too. For lunch we’d often combine a visit to a museum that also had a cafe. Ágúst, the driver/guide we had for the tour was brilliant. His driving, especially on the gravel roads in the Westfjords was so good. He showed us some really impressive sites that were off the beaten track & he’d stop so that we could take photos along the way. I’d happily go on another tour with Ágúst as the driver/guide. This was my 2nd Icelandic tour with GJ Travel. I’d highly recommend them for anyone thinking of going on an escorted coach tour of Iceland. I would certainly use them again.

I'd done some research on Iceland and this included almost everything I'd listed to try and see, PLUS some I had no idea about. We'd also thought about just renting a car and going on our own, but having a driver / tour guide was WONDERFUL. We got to places I didn't know about, we learned a lot that I would not have found out about, and having a tour guide on the trip made a world of difference. I would HIGHLY recommend the Grand Tour of Iceland. We even made a few quick stops that were not on the Itinerary. Lunch was on our own, but we always stopped for lunch at places that had great selections. And dinners, which were included in the tour, we GREAT. Also a big shout out to our driver / guide! Martina was AWESOME and really made the trip 5 star.

Had an awesome introduction to a beautiful country. Hotel accommodation was superb, tour bus was brilliant and our tour guide, Thor, was simply outstanding. Not only was he an excellent and highly-skilled driver, he was very knowledgeable, entertaining, funny, helpful, friendly and a great musician too. The trip was a birthday for me treat and definitely something to remember. Special moment when the full group and Thor sang Happy Birthday to me, courtesy of my daughter. The itinerary was very well-prepared, we didn't feel rushed and we visited so many beautiful places. Loved the whole trip from start to finish and I will be going back very shortly for another winter trip. Top marks to GJ Travel 👍👍

I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Our tour leader, Simone, is friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. Accommodations and breakfasts could have been better in some areas but that may be typical for Iceland. The bus could have been bigger but I totally understand it’s a good safe choice for a windy winter trip. All in all I highly recommend GJ Travel and Simone.

Excellent tour covering many of the highlights of Iceland. We saw it all - glaciers, waterfalls, volcanoes, and, of course, the northern lights on a couple of nights. Our guide and driver, Simone de Greef was wonderful. Not only is she an excellent driver, but she is extremely knowledgeable about everything “Iceland”, from folklore to history to language. She is an accomplished photographer who helped us all as we tried to capture the “lights” and she was very patient and helpful with our tour group.

We had an amazing holiday in Iceland! So much to see and we were treated to several nights of stunning displays of the Northern lights. Many thanks to Simone de Greef, our driver/tour guide who kept us entertained and safe during the trip. She made sure we had a great time and impart her knowledge of volcanoes, geysers, hot springs, culture, and most importantly loved her story telling! Met interesting people in the small group. Highly recommend this tour!

We had a great week tour with Margaret and Rocky as bus driver. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. They had to adjust our tour due to Blue Lagoon closure and everything was great. Definitely do the ice cave tour it was worth it.

we had a lovely tour guide called Johann who told us great storys and was very knowledgeable and kind. he was helpful answered all our questions and very polite. he was great!!!! ❤️

We booked this tour through tourradar . We were with GJ Travel for 3 of the 5 days and it was excellant. Our guide was August and our driver was Christian. Every day was packed with wonderful things to see and oppertunity to do more physical things. This is a truly beautiful country and we were lucky enough to have little rain every day. Our entire group got along well and were punctual about leaving on time from different locations.

The trip that I signed up for was "5 Amazing Days In Ilulissat". Tour date Sept 26-30, 2023. I need to clarify that my tour guide Alma was great and she was very sweet and helpful. My issues have to do with GJ Travel and the fact that they did not provide me with all the excursions they posted in their itinerary, but they still charged me for the full price of the tour. The itinerary posted had daily excursions for the entire 4 days that I'm in Ilulissat, but my final itinerary had one free day. I was informed ahead of time by the company that the full day excursion to Eqi Glacier do not run at the end of September, and that they would replace the cruise with other activities. They never provided me with alternative activities. I found out that the cruise to the glacier was still operating by another company and the only reason why it was not included in my tour is because Alma was leaving Ilulissat to fly home on the day in question. Alma offered to book the cruise independently for me but it would mean I had to pay for the cruise out of my own pocket when it should have been included in the tour price. GJ Travel should have been honest with me about the whole situation about Alma leaving before my tour was scheduled to end. At the very least, they should have given me a discount and I could pay for the cruise myself separately.

Did the Land of Northern Lights Tour. The tour guide August was very friendly knowledgeable and always went out his way to spend time with the group and give us as much information about the Northern Lights as possible. Drive Christian was great too… making sure we got to each stop safely and warm! Great tour. Highly recommended. Book direct with them instead of going through On The Go

This tour must have been extended now as our's was 10 days/11nights. Still it was the best I have ever been on. It was pretty 'full on' time-wise with so much to see in the 10 days so I'm glad they have added an extra day or so. Magnificent scenery: jaw-droppingly huge waterfalls, mountains and landscapes showcasing Mother Nature's awe-inspiring vastness. Many, many fabulous experiences: a boat ride among massive icebergs, a luxurious spa in a hot-spring plus being up close and personal with masses of puffins to name only a few. All this as well as excellent food and accommodation. Our Guide/Driver Martina was an encyclopedia of knowledge whether it was mythology and culture, the geology and geography of Iceland or just day to day life. She transported us around this amazing country sprouting facts and figures mixed with the perfect blend of humour and warmth of personality. Her number one priority of course was always our safety and comfort and this was conveyed in the way she kept an eye on every individual during our 'stops' and was particularly mindful of those who were not as robust as the rest of us. Additional to this was her extraordinary skill as a driver, particularly on some of the hazardous roads. I genuinely feel we had THE BEST OF THE BEST and would highly recommend this company for this tour.

Great trip, great organization Great fuide called Simona It was special perfect week at iceland congratulations for GJ and Simona I will be back

I was delighted with our guide and most accommodations. We did not have a welcome or farewell dinner and the van was cramped and uncomfortable. There only should have been 12 in the vehicle. Toilet stops were far apart and no toilet on bud.
