We have been so impressed with our GJ Travel trip and feel our guide Snorri really made it an unforgettable experience. He showed us all the great spots and added extra stops where sometimes we were the only ones there. He was so knowledgeable about Iceland and its natural and country history. We felt that the tour was personalised to our interests. The accommodation and food was good. We would give the trip 10 stars if we could. We would highly recommend travelling with GJ travel. Snorri ensured we had no worries or concerns for the whole trip, what a great guide!

My husband and I had a fantastic time on our recent trip to Iceland with GJ travel. The trip was well organized and offered us the opportunity to see many destinations during our short stay. Our guide, Baldur, was extremely knowledgeable and loved Iceland. He made the whole trip interesting and fun. He even provided small treats along the way (my favorites were the Icelandic chocolates and a floating paper lantern to release at on NYE) Our driver, Arte, got us to each destination quickly and safely despite some rough winds and road conditions. The bus was clean and comfortable. Though you spend much of the day on the bus, the stops are frequent enough that we only spent about an hour or less on the bus between stops.

I am only part way through my tour and I have loved every single minute of it. I have absolutely no doubt that the next few days will be just as thrilling. Thank you Petur for being such an awesome guide. I highly recommend GJ Travel.

For it being my first time to Iceland, and my mom's second time. I loved the whole tour. I have special-needs, and Rocky Rock, our tour guide made sure I was always OK on the glacier, and waterfall hikes. He would hang onto me to make sure I didn't fall as I do have difficulty walking. Jon our bus driver did an awesome job with getting everyone from one place to another. I can imagine how tiring it must've been, for him to have to drive the many miles he had to drive from Reykjavik, and back. But, he dud it all with a great attitude. Meeting everyone else on the tour was an unforgettable moment too. Looking forward to coming back someday, and doing another tour with you guys. We just came off the "Best of Iceland" tour yesterday that we did with you guys, for six days.

We have had an awesome 3 days travelling around the south of the island, and our guide Martina was excellent and very knowledgeable. We got to see the aurora borealis last night which was fantastic. Packed so much into 3 days but never felt rushed.

I have just completed Guided Iceland Circle with driver/guide Bergsteinn. The tour was interesting and well paced. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. Bergsteinn did a good job of providing interesting information, but not too much commentary. Completing the Ring Road is a great way of seeing the different facets of Iceland as each region is quite different. I would definitely travel with GJ Travel again.
