MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® components which were fun and educational, and we were lucky to have two nights of great northern light coverage too!”

"The most amazing trip of a lifetime. I loved the itinerary and amazing nature shots and seeing the adorable Iceland ponies – all arranged by our amazing Trip Manager and Driver!”

“I got to experience so many of the main sights and climbing a glacier is something I never thought I’d do, but now I can say I have. The country itself has stolen my heart and I will definitely be travelling back someday.”
