I just spoke to Trisha late yesterday afternoon about the trip. They had a FABULOUS time and loved it! Thank you and your team so much.
They loved the Blue Lagoon – they thought this was a good way to stay awake with the early morning arrival.
Their favorite part of the trip was Lake Myvatn. They wished they had stayed three nights. Their driver and guide was exceptional (his name sounded to me like it began with an R but Trish wasn’t sure how it was spelled). They thought they might just have a little tour, but he showed them around for over 2 hours. They just loved him and booked a dog sled ride through him (I can’t remember if it was his brother that did the dog sled excursions or just a friend). They also booked another excursion to see waterfalls plus they thought the food at Selhotel was fantastic. They loved it so much they wanted to stay.
There was a mix-up with the Golden Circle tour, and they were not picked up for the tour. They called the local number, and the issue was resolved smoothly, so they were not upset at all. They found the Golden Circle tour was disappointing after the scenery they had seen in Myvatn.
They loved the “Into the Glacier” tour and thought it was unique, interesting and amazing.
They booked on their own a Northern Lights jeep tour where the company guaranteed that they would see the northern lights or they would either give them money back or take them out again. This is how they finally saw the Northern Lights and were VERY glad they did this. Do you work with a company like this? In the future, I will want to suggest this to client who have the Northern Lights on their bucket list. Trisha said that they drove them farther and farther out until they finally saw them.
They loved the food everywhere and had some amazing meals at restaurants off the list. They said the cost was very high but felt I had properly prepared them for that.
They also thought I had prepared them well for the hotels – clean, efficient but small rooms – nothing fancy or luxurious but suitable for the trip. Economizing on the hotels to spend money on other parts of the trip.
Thank you so much for your assistance and for your follow up. The McCurry family was thrilled with their trip!
