I had a great experience with Active Adventures in Iceland. I picked the 6-day Classic Iceland Adventure and was very happy with my choice. While the price was a bit high traveling in a Single Room, the experience more than made up for it.
We were guided by two amazing ladies and our group of 8 absolutely loved them! The local guide Ms. Stina (Cristina Bang) is a gem. She delighted us with adventure, laughter, and stories about Iceland. The Kiwi guide Mel was kind, genuine and always helpful. She kept an eye on all of us and helped those who needed a little more attention.
The hotels, the food, the excursions, and the hikes were great. Only two reasons I am not giving an "Excellent/Five stars):
1) The itinerary should take the cruise ship schedules into consideration and avoid or work around their arrival date. This is crucial because large crowds were a detriment to an otherwise incredibly good tour. Another option would be timing the visits to top tourist attractions outside of the standard hours, or scheduling your departure dates outside the peak season (mid-July to late August).
2) The Hotel Storm, which was our last night, is not up to the standard of the hotels selected for this tour. I understand this was caused by an availability issue during the busiest night of the year for Reykjavik as the original itinerary stayed at the Centrum Hotel which was lovely. An upgrade would have been appreciated, however not always possible.
In closing, I am leaving Iceland profoundly grateful. Active Adventures was the right choice for this trip.
