What our clients have to say
Trip of a lifetime!
Lindsay C, 2022
This was truly a once in a lifetime experience to a place none of us had ever been, made possible by Deluxe Iceland! Our tour guide, Jonas, in particular, made the trip extremely special. He took great care in making sure that all 11 members of our party, ranging in age from 2-77 years old, were happy, comfortable, and engaged in a wide range of activities. We were blown away by all the hidden treasures the island has to offer. We enjoyed breathtaking hikes to waterfalls, canyons, capes, caves, cliffs, volcanos, glaciers, and geothermal bathing, and were able to experience the local people and culture first hand at a local dairy farm and an extended stay at a private home in the countryside. If you want a first class trip where every detail is taken care of for you and meticulously planned out, Deluxe Iceland will take amazing care of you!
