Testimonials

We had a terrific time! The arrangements you made were great. The First Hotel Marin was in a perfect part of Bergen, and we loved the heated bathroom floor. Our room on the Trollfjord was on the best floor, and again, we loved the heated bathroom floor. The cruise was relaxing, the food was wonderful, the ports were interesting, and the Northern Lights were amazing! The airport bus took us right to and from the Radisson Blu Scandinavia which was another terrific hotel. Thank you for all of your help and for setting up our wonderful trip! Charlotte

Susie,
I just wanted to drop a quick note about the Best of Iceland tour (June 27 through July 8). IT WAS OUTSTANDING!!!! Iceland and the Icelandic people are wonderful. The tour group size was perfect - 7 people for the first 6 days and 4 people for the remaining 6 days (all great travel companions). Our mini tour bus was brand new and had 4-wheel drive allowing us to go anywhere - ford rivers and rutty roads.

And our guide, Petur Gauti Valgeirsson (with Gudmundur Jonasson Travel) was superb. He went out of his way helping me research my genealogy. He put me in contact with a gentleman, Nelson Gerrard, at the Icelandic Emigration Center in Hofsos who not only knew of my family, but knew my family! Nelson provided me with 92 pages of my lineage going back before the year 783, a copy of an article about my great, great uncle, and told me stories about my great, great aunt who lived to be 104!

Petur also took me (and our group) to the farm where my great grandfather grew up. Even though none of my family currently live on the farm, the young gentleman who's family runs the farm, gave us a tour, including witnessing the amazing automated milking machines - completely unmanned. The entire group enjoyed our little side trip to the 'family' farm.

Thank you for your guidance and arrangements for a wonderful and rewarding tour of Iceland. Please pass on my comments to Gudmundur Jonasson as I do not have their email address.

Again, thanks,

Hi Dora,
We absolutely loved Sisimiut. It felt like stepping into another world. The snow-covered mountains, colorful houses, and hundreds of Greenlandic sled dogs made every day feel special. Our hotel was cozy and very clean, and everyone we met was welcoming and helpful. We especially enjoyed relaxing in the outdoor hot tubs after our excursions. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested.
