testimonials
We planned our trip to Iceland and Greenland for about 6 months. We were unsure what tour to go for, how to get around and how to see Iceland and Greenland. Many companies came up with their offers. Nordic Saga Tours surprised us with their friendliness and professionalism. They were able to offer us exactly what we needed and we are not disappointed with this chose. When we arrived in Iceland, our tour was flawless; every detail went just as it was planned, from onboard entertainment program and meals to the places we visited and sights we enjoyed. What a fantastic trip, thank you Nordic saga Tours! Adam K, Sydney, Australia
