I am a tour conductor based in Chicago. Travel Beyond is an excellent DMC for all your group needs. In Sept 2023 I traveled with a group of 17 textile artists to Iceland. Hjalmer, one of the owners, personally accompanied, drove, guided and our group. He made all our arrangements, including many unique requests that focused on textiles and wool in Iceland. He is an excellent guide and organizer. Our tour was fantastic and every detail was taken care of impeccably. If I could give a 10 star review, I would. We will work with Hjalmar going forward for all our Iceland Tours.

Hjalmer was an excellent tour guide - not only did he take us to the remote and wonderful places in Iceland but shared his stories and knowledge of the history of the Iceland and Viking peoples, the geographic area, and events that happened at each site. His great sense of humor as he shared the stories was delightful and entertaining as we drove through the Golden Circle, North and the Black Sand Beach. I was on a textile tour, which also gave us insight into the economic background of Iceland and their farms. Next time, we will include a visit to a farm as well! When we stopped to take photos of the sheep, they all ran away! (Apparently they thought we were there to start the shearing process and they were not ready to give up their warm fleeces yet!) Hjalmer visited the hotels in advance of our visit to make sure that it was suitable for our group. Excellent accomodations as well!

I am a designer/textile artist who had the good fortune to travel with Hjalmer (one of the owners) from Travel Beyond in a textile focused tour in Iceland in September 2023. Thanks to Hjalmer’s expertise with all things Icelandic, we had a fun and information packed 9-day tour through Iceland. Hjalmer was able to share his knowledge of the culture, the land, Icelandic traditions, and stories while also ensuring that our travel arrangements went smoothly and that we were treated very respectfully. We had a wonderful time! I left with wonderful memories of our trip and especially for Hjalmer’s expertise in handling our group tour needs. I give lots of “stars” for my review of the trip and Hjalmer’s leadership especially!

We just spent ten days touring around Iceland with Hjalmar, who is very knowledgeable and entertaining. What a great trip! We visited some great places and had some delicious meals. Our favorite stops were the waterfalls and the geothermal baths. We also had an Icelandic snack in the Yoda cave: dried fish, fermented shark, sheep's head and Brennivin. What an experience! We highly recommend Travel Beyond!

Just returned from 9 day trip to Iceland lead by Hjálmar. We traveled throughout the south, into Reykjavik, and north to Blönduós. He is a fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable, great sense of humor, and willing to adapt. He is very proud of his country and shares history, geology, geography and stories. All arrangements were great and well thought out. He is just a fun and competent guide. I am delighted to have met and traveled with him. I highly recommend.

We had an amazing trip with Travel Beyond and Atli! He was always kind, courteous and willing to answer any questions we had. His love for his homeland was obvious, and something he shared throughout the trip. We traveled through some of the southern region. We saw well known sights as well as some things that were off the beaten path. We were amazed at the at the beauty of the country on a daily basis. If you want to do more than just see the sights, if you want to learn about the country and is people, book with Travel Beyond. You will not be disappointed!

This trip was one of the best I've ever taken, and I've been on quite a few. Not only did we get to see all the best sights and sites in Southwest Iceland, we learned way more than we expected about the history, geography, geology and politics of Iceland. We also stayed in excellent hotels and ate mainly great food. What more could you ask for?!! Travel Beyond was a fantastic choice.

Hjalmar’s passion for his homeland and knowledge of its history was ever present. He was respectful, cordial and entertained us with many Icelandic sagas along the way. We benefited from his familiarity of less frequented routes, providing us with unique opportunities to see the varied landscapes and colors of Iceland. All in all, he was personable (including a great sense of humor), punctual and provided our tour group a safe and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Travel Beyond for your next visit to the beautiful country of Iceland.

Travel Beyond was terrific. Iceland is beautiful and our driver made it even better with his knowledge of the sights, driving, stories, history and sensitivity to our need and wishes. I would highly recommend him and the company.

Just spent nine fantastic days traveling in Iceland; those days were so fantastic largely because of Travel Beyond and especially our guide, Hjalmer. All the arrangements were just great, and Hjalmer was the perfect tour leader: smart, knowledgeable, full of stories and folk tales, and just plain fun to have around. There was only one time when we ran into a glitch---a place we were supposed to visit canceled at the last minute. Not the fault of our tour organizers. Hjalmer came up with an alternate plan on the spot, and I think the group enjoyed the substitution as much as we would have liked the original plan. Can't say enough good things---5 stars!
