I was also booked on this tour with the previous three posters and was one who was perfectly happy with the treatment. I have been in communication with Jon Thor both by email and phone and he has been most helpful on all occasions in setting up the tour for us. The cancellation terms for this tour are clear. You...

We were part of the group that had to cancel our upcoming cruise, and were very upset that we were not able to go to Iceland this summer. We had prepaid in October and were aware of the cancellation policy of The Traveling Viking. This is a business, and we too considered the cancellation fee to be fair and reasonable.... More

Just back from a day tour with The Traveling Viking. We had a wonderful day. Although the weather was not very nice our drive/guide Jon did a great job and we are glad we chose this company. We have gone with larger companies in the past and felt like we were a herd of sheep getting on and off the... More

I was also part of the party that had to cancel our cruise. We have been treated most fairly and were aware of the cancellation penalty. The disgruntled poster could have continued the tour but chose not to. I would certainly consider the cancellation fee fair considering The Traveling Viking would have either added a few more people to the... More

I was part of the party booked with the previous poster. I too had to cancel my tour and my cruise. I was not happy about either, but these things happen. My husband contacted the company , they said they would repay 80% , and they did it almost straight away. I think this was fair under the circumstances ,... More

Me and my partner went on the Goðafoss and natural baths trip, had a wonderful time with a very cheerful tour guide Jón Þór, the nicest tour guide I've ever met :-) We got to go ice fishing which was an experience ill never forget stood on frozen ice. Jón Þór was always there for any questions to be answered.... More

Our trip with The Traveling Viking was fantastic. Our tour was very unique, and personal. The traveling Viking knows a great deal about Iceland and the Akureyri area, the north of Iceland. Lots of interesting facts with good humour. It is a personal experience as he doesn't take large groups of people so he has chance to talk to everyone... More

We were part of the group described in the review by Nichola M - it was an awesome experience and totally enahanced by Jon's informative and helpful approach. Iceland was amazing and our experience of it was made all the better by Jon's carefully arranged tours. I would highly recommend him and hope to visit again in the summer to... More

It's been quite a while since I've had such an action-packed adventure holiday with so many laughs. We travelled as an odd group of 4 friends, one with a 12 year old son and me with my 17 year old daughter. We all had great fun on our 4-day trip. Jon Thor - an informative guide with a quiet sense... More

We came in via cruise ship, and really wanted to avoid the masses with our tour. I was worried with only 2 reviews whether to trust this or not, but so glad we did. We came into town via cruise ship--and they were waiting for us an hour early! Our guide was Einar, who was a gem of knowledge. He... More
