Many thanks to Dora who, after my initial fears about food and toilets as I recuperated from an abdominal operation, gave me a good picture of how these things are 'on the ground' so that I could optimistically pay for this trip of a lifetime. I can honestly say that my trip was fantastic. Our guide, Mimir, was superb: really knowledgeable, very responsible and professional, giving us wonderful little 'off the beaten track' experiences that surely many tourists would miss, a safe and excellent driver. I would however suggest that Mimir and other drivers get given better equipment for speaking into a mic while driving so that the driver/guide is at all times using hands-free mics to speak to the whole bus. The hotels were all fantastic - even the smallest fishing village guesthouse was clean and comfortable and quiet (with a memorable excellent freshly cooked dinner served in Bakki!). Wi-fi everywhere, even if not necessarily TV or phone or radio. Wi-fi was the most important item on my list after cleanliness and comfort and quiet in hotel rooms! All the sites chosen for our tour were fascinating - especially the horse farm, the herring era museum, the Egill Olafsson Museum at Hnjotur, of course the glacier lagoon and the major waterfalls, and many other places. If there was one place which was underwhelming, it was the microbrewery. But otherwise everything was just amazing. And Mimir made it all come alive for us, answering all our questions, and giving us the background to the present-day Icelandic people and its history. I have nothing but praise and thanks for this incredible and memorable trip. Thank you!

My family had a wonderful experience in Norway and Stockholm. Thanks for the professional service by Yves, the tour director, and safe driving of Danny. We made some international friends as well. The journey has been smooth so far. Our hotel stay was excellent. However, on Day 6 afternoon, we missed our ferry cruise of the scenic Geirangar Fjord. A Police road block and enforcement check on the tour bus and driver lasted more than one and half hour while the bus enroute to Hellesylt. This casued an undue delay and the bus missed the ferry schedule. We unfortunately missed the scenic Geirangar Fjord altogether. We finally arrived at Geirangar by bus. Every member of our tour group was dissapointed as there were no proper explanation to the incident and what caused the delay, by Robinson Tour. Sadly there were no alternate arrangment for us to visit the beautiful Fjord again. Despite these glitches, we will still share our stories and recommend this tour to our friends for the overall experience and fine memory we had during the tour. Thank You.

Lots of waterfalls, volcanic craters and lakes, glaciers with icebergs floating in glacier lake, hot springs. geysers, whales. Accammodations very good with excellent breakfasts . Guide was excellent. Some tour members were smokers and no designated smoking areas. Very expensive country with gas station hamburgers at $20 U.S. Terrific tour. Very glad we chose this one.
