After our 6-Day tour in Norway we are back home and would like to thank Nordic Saga Tours for arranging this fantastic trip for us. What we saw was a very nice experience. The nature was amazingly beautiful, freindly guide and the driver and nice weather! All in all, it was a very good experience and I would do it again some time.

Dear Alex, I wanted to reach out and thank you for my amazing trip to Iceland in May. I had a blast and it was the perfect getaway! Short but sweet trip to a country I've never been. I appreciated the nice mix of nature and city exploration. Reykjavik was great and the weather was nice, too. It was awesome visiting the Lebowski Bar! One of my personal favorite spots on this trip. Horseback riding and seeing those amazing waterfalls was a lot of fun, too. All such great Icelandic adventures. Thanks for your help. I'm sure I'll be back to travel Iceland in the future, and when I do, I'll be calling you!

Bobby, Just checking in from our trip to Iceland last month. We had an amazing time and definitely think we chose one of the best tours for us. I'd highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to get away for just a short while without having to dedicate their time to a week long tour, because even though the trip wasn't very long, I still felt like we got to see a lot and I'm pretty happy about that. The scenery and nature in this country is unreal, and definitely something you need to see up close to fully understand. I enjoyed Reykjavik a lot and I'm thankful that the weather was so clear. I was able to get a lot of great photos. My wife enjoyed browsing the many shops lining the streets in the city and we left with tons of gifts for family and friends. Everyone was really helpful on this tour and all the places we visited seemed to really appreciate tourists. Thanks again for making this Iceland trip so much fun.

Hi Susie, Thanks for being so helpful with planning our Iceland tour! Wow, we had such a blast! The kids really enjoyed exploring. We all particularly adored the horseback riding tour and of course the kids also loved running behind the Seljalandsfoss waterfall. So cool! Reykjavik was great, and I was able to buy some really great souvenirs for friends back home. The food was interesting and I loved listening to the locals talk to each other in Icelandic. What a difficult language! Everything about this tour was great, and ending it at the Blue Lagoon was just perfect... Such an amazing spot! Thanks again for making this trip to Iceland everything it was and more. We'll remember our time spent here for sure!
