GBIceland alone is stunning Iceland alone is stunning. What made this trip (aside from going with my bestie) was the tour guide, Karl. The way he time managed the weather, excursions, etc...was incredible. He made sure we got the whole experience and was very laid back the entire time. Even in some anxiety driven situations. Buy the plane ticket, travel, but definitely ask for Karl :)

GBTotally 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.

GBTruly 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 :)

GBIceland is an amazing place, still in awe! Iceland is an amazing place! We went thinking the trip would be a failure if we didn’t see the Northern Lights. We did see the Lights but Iceland had so much more to offer. Around every corner was another photo opportunity. The small group tour was much better than anything the big bus tour could provide. We could go place, fit into spots, and make friends, that the big busses can’t. Our guide, Kurt, was a wealth of information. He, like all of us, is still in awe of the magic that is Iceland.

GBBEST TRIP EVER! This was by far the best vacation EVER!!! While Iceland itself is an amazing destination, IcelandX made it easy to navigate, got us to far off places and took care of us every minute of the day. Our guide was extremely friendly and personable, knew all the places to go, took us to destinations that were perfect for our group. IcelandX was able to cater the trip to our own personal likes. We spoke for weeks leading up to the trip so they were able to plan/personalize it for us. Even as the week went on, they were able to change the agenda based on our daily needs and desires so that all of us went home knowing we each had the best trip of our lives! As soon as we got our luggage, there was someone ready to pick us up and take us away to the lagoon to rinse off the stress, dreariness of plane travel so we were instantly relaxed and ready to begin our adventure! Our mantra from hour one was ‘BEST TRIP EVER!!’ Also, we now feel that the best way to start any trip is to go from the airport directly to a spa/lagoon!
