We had a wonderful 6 day tour around the country wtih Friend in Iceland. As I came with my father, we chose to go on a guided tour, which made our trip much more easy, we did not have to think about anything. Gunnar made it sure we see the important places, but also took us to less visited and even more beautiful areas. He was flexible and adapted the tour to our interests and needs, but still made it sure to make the most of our trip. It was actually driving with a local, who shared all the important facts and stories. We were very lucky to have him available to tour us around and to be able to visit the country in these difficult times, which also meant the places were much less filled with tourists. It is an amazing country and I hope to come back again soon and visit other places with Friend in Iceland. Thank you for everything!

AVOID THIS COMPANY. EastWest cancelled our tour with less than 24h notice, and then completely failed to refund my money. They refuse to respond to emails and have done nothing to prove they tried to refund. They have held over £200 of my money for over two months now, and I have had to do a formal Chargeback request with VISA. DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE THEY ARE CROOKS.

I couldn’t fault this tour. This was my 3rd trip to Iceland and have used this company each time for my tours. While I did think that the northern lights tour was a bit squeezed in, I have done the golden circle twice and the south coast twice (both summer and winter) and have been very impressed with both. The trip I did in August (17th) was when things were quiet due to covid. They picked us up straight from hotel with no extra charge and also dropped us off where we wanted. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, gave us extra time at stops, also stopped at a horse farm so we could pet the horses and drove up the church in Vik so we could see the view and take photos. We had a thoroughly enjoyable day and nothing was too much trouble. They also answered any questions we had. I will be back and will do more tours with them!
