Iceland Holidays Reviews

Morning Gareth,

Just to tell you Vicki and Danny are absolutely loving their holiday. You are so good at what you do

Yesterday on the Northern Lights trip others were saying that the Blue Lagoon was closed and that the Sky Lagoon was taking no more bookings.

Your expertise and knowledge pre-empted this and your actions meant they are able to make this trip. Many thanks for being so good at what you do.

Dear Gareth,

Thank you for organizing our Iceland holiday. Everything went very smoothly. It lived up to and beyond expectations. I wanted to see the area where the tectonic plates are pulling apart, my sister wanted to visit the Blue Lagoon. We did both and there was more: geysers, waterfalls and glaciers. For me the highlight was the midnight sun. Anyone can see a sunset but not many people get to see it at midnight.

Thanks again
Barbara

Hi Gareth

Just wanted to drop you a line to say Thank you so much for organising our amazing holiday! Everything was perfect! The hotel and bus/coach pick ups never let us down! What a wonderful island! Thank you again and we would definitely recommend you to anyone looking to visit Iceland that we know!
Very Kind Regards

Hi Gareth

Oh my goodness l absolutely loved Iceland, what an amazing place!

I would like to thank Gareth for helping me with all of my bookings. Everything ran smoothly, there were no problems at any point with all of the trips.
We had a lovely, relaxing time knowing that everything had been arranged.

I am really hoping to go back very soon and will definitely use your company again.

Anyone thinking of going to Iceland should definitely go, it’s like nowhere lve ever been before. Thank you for helping us make some really lovely memories,

Emma

We had a lovely holiday and as first time travellers to Iceland it made the trip so much less stressful that someone took the decisions for us!

Hotels in general were good, favourite was the one in Fluidr where the rooms were spacious, staff were very very nice and food surprisingly good. Great base for exploring around.

Booking was easy, Gareth very responsive and helpful.

We will definitely be going back to Iceland!

Hi Gareth

We have had a brilliant day and saw lots of whales and dolphins

The lady who you arranged it with at the centre let us go on again this afternoon for free which was very kind

Just waiting for our return flight

Thank you so much for arranging it

Kind regards

Dear Gareth, I just wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying the holiday in Iceland. Your hotel recommendations have been perfect and we have had just the right amount of time in each place. The Skoda has been great and we have seen some amazing sights. Thank you for all the help in setting it all up. Best wishes, Charles

Hi Gareth,

I was going to do a “short” note to individually thank you for each of our amazing experiences in Iceland but it was becoming more of an essay so I’ve started again.Everything about the stay was perfect from your advice on the hotel and it being close to everything but far enough away from the crowds, to all the trips we did. We don’t usually do bus trips so we didn’t know what to expect but Reykjavik Excursions were so informative/patient/funny we were extremely impressed. Everything about the trip was amazing but actually seeing the northern lights was the biggest highlight, we were lucky enough to see “the dance”.

Finally if anyone I know in the furniture wants to go there I will definitely recommend you to them. My daughter is thinking of Azores next year and I’ve already told her about you.

Again thank you for planning the trip for us and for your patience with all my queries and questions. We will definitely use you again.

Regards

Sharon

Incrediby Knowledgeable!

I dealt with Gareth throughout the planning of this holiday and have to say he is incredibly knowledgeable and patient! I had to change the holiday radically but he did this quickly and carefully. He has a solid understanding of the destination and was able to advise on clothing, activities and accommodation. I have no hesitation in recommending Iceland Holidays and Gareth.

Experts!

Iceland Holidays did a great job of working with us to design our holiday. They listened to what we wanted and were able to advise - even down to which side of the plane we should take for the best views! It went really smoothly. - Miss Jill Perryman

Great holiday-good itinerary

Great holiday-good itinerary and great support with changes in dates due to Covid - many thanks to Gareth - Tracy Crowther

Great service - would use again.

We booked a holiday with Gareth at Iceland Holidays after Tui cancelled a holiday booked with them at short notice. We were offered a wide variety of hotels and excursions and ended up staying at the lovely Eyja Guldsmeden Hotel. I really appreciated the help and guidance offered by Gareth and found him very accommodating and easy to deal with. Plus, the cost of the holiday and excursions came in at a lower price than our holiday booked with Tui! Great experience from start to finish. - Sharon Bullough

Had a great holiday

Would definitely highly recommend - I placed the order online and Gareth immediately got in touch to ask for more details on tailoring the holiday to our specific needs and made other suggestions accordingly. Very helpful, very well organised and hassle free! - Lisa Quinn

Gareth at Icelandic Holidays was very helpful

First class service

We have had two taylor made holidays with Iceland Holidays which ran smoothly from start to finish. We were kept aware of our itinerary as it developed and advice was freely given and our numerous questions answered. Many thanks to Gareth and his team. A first rate holiday experience. We will be using them again next year - Nicholas Tobin

Oh Wow

Oh Wow ! What a fantastic holiday we had to Iceland . this was very much a new destination for us and we were a little unsure who to book with as it was all new for us .

Thanks guys , we hope to be talking to you soon as this time we would like to go Whale watching! - Jacqui

4 Day Iceland break

Iceland Holidays organized a short 4 day break round the golden circle and we can honestly say it was one of the best holiday/short breaks we have ever had. We stayed at Rejakvik for 2 nights taking in the sights and sounds .. then a drive around the golden circle taking in all the sights. Two nights at the Hotel Rangor with breath taking views !! then finally on the way home we stopped off for a great experience at the blue lagoon. - not to be missed ... A fantastic experience and supported by Iceland Holidays great knowledge of Iceland .. must go again !! Fantastic - Jonathan/Elaine

Let me start by thanking Gareth

Let me start by thanking Gareth, who was my only interface I believe, for all the work that he did for us. We had been to Iceland before and we had a good idea of what we wanted to do on our trip. This was a trip with our late teen grandchildren and we wanted to make it special as we are unlikely to get to take them on holiday again. We chose our itinerary with advice from Gareth and his helpful suggestions and then reconfigured it until it was a trip that was affordable. The flight went well. The car hire pick-up was good, if a bit slow, due to the Europcar desk having queues whilst most of the rest had very few customers. We had an upgrade due to our car not being ready. The Aurora Laxnes hotel was clean and functional with a good breakfast. The other amenities were sparse. It seems to be set up to eat in Reyjavik rather than locally which does require a bit of a journey. We knew this in advance so we were OK wth it. The choice of hotels was fine with the highlight being the New Hotel at Geyser. That was a stunning place to stay (with prices to match) and added a nice touch of luxury to the trip. The other hotels were very reasonable and the one near Husavik had a very helpful and welcoming manager. The snowmobiling was very good and memorable. We probably went a little late in the season for the best snow but it was a big highlight for the grandchildren. They just loved throwing the snowmobiles around often on ice. A real touch of danger especially with grandparents on the back. The 'whale watching' was excellent as we saw some dolphins, puffins and 3 humpback whales with several sightings of them on the one trip we opted to do. A very special day for the grandchildren and us. We did see the eruptions but only on live TV. Once again, thanks for all your help. The grandchildren and us really enjoyed the whole experience. Best Wishes, Lewis Stringfellow
