I do four major tours a year so I am a fussy and well seasoned traveller .You really have to work at pleasing my travel appetite,Gate1 does a great job doing that ..they work hard from start to finish keeping their clients happy .

Iceland is a land of many geographical contrasts and the Gate1 Itinerary allowed us to visit a large number of dfferent geographies on its South, East and West Coasts .They have carefully selected hotels that provide excellent comfortable relaxed accommodations and meals .The location of the hotels allow you to explore the local areas on your own at the end of the touring day .All of our provided meals were excellent .I heard of no complaints from anyone. Breakfasts selections were abundant Even our Vegetarian Traveller was happy with her meals as she was always looked after by our attentive guide and our accommodating hotel hosts ..

We visited fishing villages ,farms ,Geothermal Power Plants ,gysers ,glaciers ,volcanoes ,waterfalls ,learning centers ,historical churches, greenhouses , art galleries, museums,graveyards , etc etc .There was something for everyone ,We saw and experienced the true Iceland and met its real and colorful people !

For those who wanted adventure there was Islandic Horseback riding along the coast ,duck boat excursions into rivers , hiking , coastal cruises to off shore islands for bird and whale watching, etc ,

Our driver / guide Gunnar was perhaps one of the most happy and colorful guides that I have had the honor of meeting through out my travels .Gate1 carefully chooses their inbound tour companies and this one is of no exception .I always say that the guide either makes of breaks a tour .Our guide always made us feel like one big happy family ,Our group consisted of participants ranging in age from their early 20s to one gentleman who boasted a young age of 87. He was a big brother to us all .

Gunnar was sensitive to all of our needs and accommodated any requests if it was within reason,,,many extra stops were made for photo and bathroon opportunities ..this made everyone happy !! Gunner is himself a world traveller and he knew how we wanted to be educated and entertained .Our days were always spiced with his excellent humor and story telling .

He was a very flexible guide and because he knew a lot of the locals he provided us with a unique look into their private lives and customs ,

We ALL learned a lot about Iceland and by the end of the tour we considered ourselves experts on the subject thanks to Gate 1 . Gate1 Travel .com provided me with the same excellent value and services that I received from them while on their Thailand Tour ,Many of our Iceland tour members were repeated Gate1 clients so I guess that speaks volumes for itself ."Stick With a Good Thing When You Are Lucky Enough to Have Found It"

Iceland is the land of Ice and Fire ...it should be on everyone's bucket list .
