great trip, well organised. memories for life (more)juris uzegovs
Excellent. Our 'Tutor' James Rushworth was exceptional. His ability to place us in the right place at the right time, his knowledge of Iceland and things Icelandic, his photography skills and ability to pass on that knowledge were superb. (more)Alvin Barrick
Excellent. I saw a lot of Iceland and had plenty of time and opportunity to take photographs. James was an excellent photography tutor and guide and provided lots of expert guidance, useful suggestions and encouragement.

Memorable parts?
We had a fantastic whale watching trip from Husavik. Saw several grey whales close to our boat. One was very active and actually breached for us!
Visit to steaming geothermal area bubbling pools of water and mud and smelling strongly of rotten eggs!
Tips?
Needed information about transport between international and domestic airports in Reyjavik. Had to use taxi between bus terminal and domestic airport which we were not told about. More information about our... (more)Jeanne Weston
From
£3,400
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
This trip took me to places in Iceland that I have wanted to visit for the past few years. Every day was filled with fantastic photographic opportunities and memorable activities that expanded my appreciation of the complexities of the local culture, as well giving ample time to photographing the flora, fauna and landscapes of this remarkable part of the world.
Tips?
Don't think that this is only a trip for experienced photographers. It is structured to support individual... (more)Bronwyn Stafford

The title of the holiday tells it all. Each day we visited different places of the unique beauty away from the crowds.

It was amazing expedition through central highlands of Iceland impossible to access for most of year. Landscape of infinite variety and tiny alpine plants to
take your breath away. (more)Moira Izzard
From
£1,500
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
The magnificent scenery, food and people of Iceland.
Tips?
The food experience was excellent [lamb and fish..we stayed away from whale and puffin..!] even in the smallest of guesthouses and towns..but dining out was
expensive [by Australian standards].
Next trip we will try to prepare our own dinner perhaps every second night.
Be careful on the roads...generally no road shoulders and lots of one way [often blind] bridges..just be aware.
Local benefits?
Hopefully... (more)Steven Huntingford

A wonderful holiday. Such a tour saves time in encircling Iceland compared with public transportation. If you are limited in time and do not want to hire a car,
this is the best option. (more)Shimon Rumelt
Excellent - thoroughly recommend it. (more)Angus Gregson

£2,600

Memorable parts?
Scenic beauty and eco-systems are two sides of the same coin. The clean air, the lakes, the falls, the lava fields, the glaciers. How does such stark and panoramic landscape co-exist with spectacular sights in Northern Iceland?
Tips?
For the above 50s age group, a fair bit of walking on uneven tracks, but worth it! If you're doing the Highlands (as this trip was titled)be prepared that late summer onset can mean that the snow on the slopes might mean that the roads... (more)Kumar Iyengar

The most memorable was the glacier walk. (more)Ginger Lowe
The most memorable was being on a glacier and seeing the glorious countryside in the south and the Snaefellsness peninsula. It was really enjoyable. The Icelanders are friendly and keen to show you their beautiful country. (more)Caroline Proud
We are very grateful to Responsible Travel and Aimy Hasson for the design of this magnificent holiday for us. (more)Juan Kuznar
From
£1,375
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Excellent throughout. We rode (mainly tolting and walking, but some cantering once the guide was certain of our riding ability) across varied terrain, which
was wonderful, and each tried out several different ponies, selecting our favourite for riding on the last day. Our final day's riding ended with a magnificent gallop along a deserted beach, after crossing estuarine waters.
Tips?
Be honest about your riding ability. Don't pretend to be more experienced than... (more)Annette Musker

It was terrific. You have one extraordinary leader in Kristian. He bought out the best in the group and was informative as well as engaging. (more)Carmel Brown
The most memorable part was walking on the glacier then watching the parts of the glacier which had broken off float into the sea past the mesmerising lagoon; Gullfoss - completely spectacular waterfall...An absolutely wonderful holiday. (more)Amanda Porter
Not the adventure I had hoped for. Very little activity, mostly sitting on the bus. (more)Elizabeth Boait
From
£1,620
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Some of the sights in the "Golden Circle" area around Reykjavik.
Tips?
Not to book it - go instead on a shorter tour (4 days maximum) of the Golden Circle area only; the rest of the island is basically more of the same and rather bleak. Also to realise that Iceland has virtually no historic architecture or charm, that the popular tourist sights are over-visited and in the season very overcrowded, and that everything is extortionately expensive - no holiday in
Iceland... (more)Howard Somerville

The most memorable part of this trip was all of us being together in such an inspiring outdoor environment. In particular our grandchildren loved it.

Fantastic group of people to travel and explore with. The hosts/guides couldn't have been better. We found alternative routes and got off the beaten path. (more)Jennifer Moon

We saw places we never would have thought of on our own and everywhere we stayed was either a great hotel or in a beautiful setting or, most often, both. (more)Jane Colman
The most memorable was snorkelling in Silfra and exploring Reynisfjara Beach. We got really lucky and had 100% sunshine and 0 precipitation the entire 45 days we were there. (more)Charles Ross
It didn't get off to a great start but overall it would have to have been one of the best holidays my wife and I spent together. It was a trip of a lifetime and we will
cherish the memories forever. (more)Scot Skellham
From
£2,650
including domestic flights only
Memorable parts?
The quiet and dramatic landscape all around us.
Tips?
Unlike other guided treks I have been on, the leader is way out ahead of the paying walkers and not particularly accessible if immediate assistance is needed
(like navigating a particularly treacherous part of the trail), or if one has questions about the what we are seeing. One needs to be aware of this and prepared.
Our leader was quite knowledgeable and was available to answer questions and point things our,... (more)Daniel Katsin
