Review about Iceland Summer Extravaganza by Suzanne

Flying to the north was the best!! And having two three night stays was GREAT! I wouldn't change a thing except perhaps stay two nights in Rey as a day without alot of driving would be good. Would give people a chance to walk around, shop, maybe find something else to see there. We all like Kari VERY much. If he is going to do bus tours (which he doesn't like) he needs to be a bit more of a guide instead of a cowboy...ie checking people in, finding out times for breakfast, etc. I told him all of that in a nice way. When he does the jeep tours he just dumps the people at the hotel, but he just hasn't had the experience with larger groups which need help. He was GREAT with one of our people who has issues walking. He had her by his side always. He is fun, witty, knowledgeable. I would use him again anytime. Our driver, Helga, was the best. The foo was over the top. The hotel in Vik was the poorest of the three. Some of the rooms were very noisy due to wind. One night I did not sleep all night due to noise. The lunch the last day was a wonderful surprise and a nice way to end instead of just driving to airport. I would include that in any tour. Kari took us to his home which was a nice touch. I was very pleased with everything. Too bad lights didn't cooperate. Only negative I would say is when I asked if we could drive someplace to look at lights...Vik was rainy..about 20 miles away it was clear..I was told it would have to be cleared with GJ. I would say that should be an automatic that driver can go where lights might be. Just something to think about in future. Thanks for everything!!!
