Price Promise

Due to constantly changing currencies, fuel prices and airfares, we’ve decided on a flexible approach to pricing. Our brochure prices are to be used as guidelines only - the actual price will be confirmed when you book your holiday and it may end up being higher, or lower, than shown in the brochure. This enables us to provide some of the best deals on the market. We aim to show our latest prices and special offers on our website, wherever possible, though these prices will not be confirmed until the point of booking. find out more»


Reliability

We select our ground operators and suppliers based on the highest levels of service, value and quality available and we constantly monitor their commitment to customer satisfaction. Other than in exceptional circumstances and by prior agreement, we do not accept bookings through travel agents. Any saving in travel agents' commission is invested in our first rate service, in-depth brochures and back up information.


Comprehensive Travel Information

Once a booking is confirmed we provide comprehensive travel documentation. Depending on which holiday you choose, this can include detailed travel tips; tour dossiers; guide book; road atlas; audio guides and/or other materials – all included as part of the holiday. Our detailed self-drive itineraries in Iceland are the best on the market. The literature we provide will help to make your holiday that bit more enjoyable.


World Leaders for Iceland holidays

We are the world's leading tour operator to Iceland. We have been organising holidays to Iceland for 28 years and so have the most detailed knowledge of the country, along with the closest working relationship with those working in the Icelandic tourist industry. We are also proud to have been the first to organise whale watching holidays in Iceland, something which remains a highlight of any holiday to Iceland. We continue to work towards protecting these majestic creatures and lobbying against the hunting of whales.

So, when it comes to Iceland holidays we believe that we offer the best possible service including the most competitive prices.

What makes us better than the rest?

  • Value for money - because we have been working in Iceland for so long, we have developed an excellent reputation which means that we often get the best deals around, which in turn means that you benefit from more Iceland special offers than you might find elsewhere. And despite what many people believe, it is very often better value for money to book through a tour operator like ourselves rather than book direct or via the Internet. It is also considerably less hassle. Not only do we do all the work for you, but you will know exactly what is included and what’s not! Also bear in mind that your money is fully protected and that you are covered by very stringent British travel industry regulations.
  • Personalised airport transfers – a lot more convenient that using the standard Flybus and since you’ll be met on arrival you can be sure we won’t leave without you!
  • Exclusive English speaking guides – enjoy our Iceland escorted tours to the full as, not only do our guides speak fluent English, groups are never more than around 30 participants maximum. This sets us apart from other travel companies who offer standard scheduled bus tours with 50-seater coaches in multiple languages and the inevitable need for more comfort breaks.
  • Flexible and clear prices - the published prices for our holidays are clear and up front for dates you want to travel and have no date or flight restrictions. Take your holiday when you want, not when you are told to….give it a try! And most importantly, once you have paid a deposit, the price of your holiday is fixed and will not increase, come-what-may!
  • Well-paced itineraries – we know Iceland intimately and after 27 years we know exactly what works and what doesn’t. All of our holidays are carefully planned resulting in well-paced itineraries that allow you to fully experience this amazing country. We don’t promote rushed itineraries involving lots of driving each day, but rather create holidays that allow you to get under the skin of Iceland, maximising your visit to suit your interests.
