What our clients have to say
10 incredibly memorable days in Iceland! – Thanks Deluxe
John P - November 2021
My wife and I are just back from 10 wonderful days in Iceland. Our trip was expertly choreographed from start to finish by Deluxe Iceland. Viktor patiently worked to construct an itinerary that suited us and continued to work with us during our private tour as the famously unpredictable Icelandic weather conditions dictated "on the fly" changes. Tryggvi (sic), our private tour guide and driver, was a supremely knowledgeable guide who entertained us every day with his knowledge of and enthusiasm for “everything” Iceland – history, culture, food, glaciers, volcanoes, waterfalls, geysers, hikes, horses and even trolls! So many highlights! Hard to choose one – hiking up a volcano; caving underneath a glacier; glimpsing the Northern Lights at Hotel Ranga, the helicopter ride over an erupting volcano, the in-water couples massage at the Retreat at the Blue Lagoon, the best fish and chips ever, …We both felt so rejuvenated after our Icelandic adventure; Thank you Viktor, Trggvi, all at Deluxe Iceland and the Icelanders who made it all so enjoyable.
