Lesley H.
Iceland Travel Review: Reykjavik, Jokulsarlon, Northern Lights, Blue Lagoon, Lava Fields, Gullfoss Falls, 6 Nights

The trip was amazing—from landing in Iceland to leaving, everything was handled perfectly. Our guide was terrific and showed us some areas we would not have visited without special knowledge.

The hotels were amazing. We especially loved our hotel near Jökulsárlón, where we saw the Northern Lights, a true bucket-list item!

We left Iceland wishing we’d stayed one more day, a sign of a great trip. We even threw a last-minute pivot at Zicasso's travel specialist (wanting to spend our last day back in Reykjavik) and they arranged a change in pick-up to head to the airport. We can’t wait to go back and visit the north of Iceland. Overall, a 10 out of 10!

Iceland Travel Review: Zodiac Boat Ride, Waterfalls, Glaciers, 8 Nights

Our tour was terrific. The activities, sites, and hotels were first-rate. The "pace" of the trip was excellent, not too leisurely, but not hurried. Zicasso’s tour operator was very easy to work with and very responsive. We highly recommend them.

Iceland, Norway Travel Review: Reykjavik, Hallgrimskirkja, Bergen, Flam, Balestrand, Ring Road, Troll Tour, Cider Tasting, 12 Nights

We loved the troll tour of the Ring Road. Our guide was great. It was very active, with some hilly climbs, which were challenging. Most of the tour hotels were good, but there were limited food choices in some locations, especially for vegetarians.

Our hotel in Reykjavík was fun and we enjoyed the restaurant there. The hotel was a bit noisy at night. We found and recommend a local café across from the Hallgrímskirkja as well.

In Norway, we loved our rooms in Bergen, looking out on the water. Our driver there was very nice. We enjoyed the train to Flåm, but wished we’d had two nights in our hotel in Balestrand, as it was exceptional. Food was included and very nice. We might have enjoyed a day tour with a local guide if we’d had more time. The ferries worked well.

Thank you!
