Touring Iceland through Deluxe Iceland with our guide Unnar

Eight of us spent nine wonderful days touring Iceland through Deluxe Iceland with our guide Unnar. We did all the major sights on the western and southern coasts. The natural beauty of the island was enhanced by the knowledge of our guide and his attention to every detail. Not sure how he did it but we had 8 days of sunny weather and mild temperatures and also got to see the Northern Lights. Unusual for that time of year.

TRIP OF A LIFETIME

I trusted Deluxe Iceland to plan the trip of a lifetime for 10 friends of ours. Most who had never been to Iceland. Not knowing what to expect every single step of the way we were BLOWN away, by the attentiveness and attention to detail Deluxe Iceland executed. Each activity we had planned was elevated beyond our wildest beliefs. From our favourite drinks and food, to local traditions the team at Deluxe made us feel like the lead characters in a larger than life movie. I wish every country we visited had a Deluxe group of people. We WILL be back, and we will be sending people their way to truly have a mind blowing experience. Bravo. Above and truly beyond.

Epic adventure

This was my first trip to Iceland and I was looking for some adventure and some relaxing. When I found Deluxe Iceland I knew this was the company for me. From the initial inquiry to the airport drop off the level of professionalism from everyone I meet and interacted with was top notch. My guide Unnar was simply fantastic. I was traveling solo and he made sure to get photos for me. The days were planned out perfectly and we adjusted as needed for weather. I can’t wait to start planning my next Iceland adventure with Deluxe Iceland!

Amazing Family Trip in Iceland with Deluxe Iceland

Deluxe Iceland did an incredible job planning our family trip. We worked with Viktor for a few months ahead of time. He was informative and very patient, helping us plan the perfect trip for our family. He organized and took care of all the details in advance so we could enjoy our trip without any hassles. When we arrived in Iceland we were greeted by our unbelievable guide Andri who showed us around Iceland, taking us to the blue lagoon, the golden circle, a local farm visit, the lava center, snowmobiling, and so much more. He was so knowledgable, extremely personable and just such a nice person. He added so much to our trip and we would highly recommend requesting him if possible. Everyone at Deluxe Iceland was very helpful and accessible while we were there. Viktor and Siggi were always quick to respond if we had any last minute questions. We felt relaxed and comfortable throughout our whole trip. If you want to have THE experience that you’ll remember forever, we highly recommend using Deluxe Iceland!

Stunning Iceland

We returned home today from one of the most magical vacations we have ever experienced. We were a group of 5 friends on a 10 day trip around the country and our amazing guide Jonas treated us like royalty. A more kinder, considerate and gentle man I have yet to meet. Jonas patiently took care of our every need – even as plans changed and changed back again. He was always super attentive and accommodating. He showed us the crazy stunning beauty of Iceland in tons of magical hidden secret places. Truth be told, I believe that Jonas is the hidden secret of Deluxe Iceland!!! When you book your vacation with them be sure to ask for him!!!
