Awesome 4x4 Experience! So does the X in IcelandX stand for eXtreme or eXcellent? We think it’s both. Our “Great 4x4 Expedition” far exceeded our expectations. We loved our guide Jon— a very personable, knowledgeable native Icelander who took great care of us - he went above and beyond to be sure we were enjoying our trip and had everything we needed. Jon actually loaned us his personal tripod and helped me with exposure settings. The places we were able to go because of the 4WD brought us up close and personal to off-the-beaten-track geologic wonders of Iceland without the crowds. From waterfalls to glaciers to moss covered lava fields to geysers and fumaroles, we were amazed by it all. We got weary of saying spectacular. The hotels were upscale - Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon is rated 4 stars - as were the restaurants. We had many delicious meals with an opportunity to try fresh fresh fish and local Icelandic foods— we are now hooked on Skyr. We are sorting through the kazillion photos we took and wishing we were still there. Bravo IcelandX and Jon!

Totally satisfied!! Let me start by saying that I hate packaged tours. They do not appeal to me, and in the past, my wife and I have planned our own trips and rented cars etc. and traveled on our own. I have traveled in around 25 countries and across the US. I did some research on Iceland-X and was really intrigued by the attention to detail that went into everything I read about. Calling them and taking on the phone reinforced my impression that these were great people and that they wanted their tour to not be at all like the typical "packaged tour" Well, when we got to iceland I was really bowled over by everythng. Tour size was small. The coach was luxurious. Accommodations were first rate. I honestly felt like I was traveling with a couple of friends and our guide, Jon, was one of the most interesting people I have ever met. I was initially struck by his knowlege of the area. He was full of stories, the local color that is sometimes hard to find was always coming out. A keen sense of humor coupled with his professionalism as it pertains to safety, creature comforts and knowhow, was always on display. He constantly went above and beyond what I expected. Everything was planned out with precision, but I did not feel any stress and was unbelievably relaxed all of the time. It was simply great! I must say that the trip was almost perfect. Many will argue that nothing in this world is ever perfect. I would agree, and I was disappointed only in the lack of readily available pickled herring.

Truly The Best Iceland Experience! From the very first email encounter with Dana to establish our luxury signature trip, to the personal pickup to take us to the airport by our (now) friend and guide, Halli, it was an amazing experience. It was such a pleasure to work with G.B., Ivy and Dana over several months to finalize trip itinerary and reservations. They were so kind and gracious to answer any and all of my questions. It was such an enjoyable and stress-free experience to make this dream trip happen. I have always had Iceland on my bucket list. By having a guide throughout the trip, my husband and I were able to learn so much and ask every question we had about Iceland. Halli is truly the BEST guide! Please consider using Iceland X for your next trip to Iceland. I will be coming back, because the only thing I did not see were the Northern Lights. A winter trip will be needed to accomplish this goal :)

Iceland at it's Best! What made it great? JON! We loved the schedule that you put together! The trip included so many locations. Waterfalls, volcanos, Nothern Lights, glaciers, volcanic deserts, ocean, whales and let's not forget the Icelandic Ponies! The accommodations and food were top notch! BUT... JON! He made our vacation exceptional. Jon's knowledge, humor, friendliness and his focus on making it perfect can't be matched!

Wonderful trip We stayed in great hotels, the driver/guide was excellent and informative, everywhere we went was beautiful. Very happy with the experience and recommending to all our friends.
