About the tour: Hello, all! I want to start with the fact that I, unlike many, did not plan this trip ... I have not dreamed of Iceland, not sought to see the glaciers, northern lights, waterfalls ... everything was decided by chance) went to an interview, I met my girlfriend, who mentioned that in six months going to Iceland, I jokingly said that I would not mind to join too....Result: just a couple of hours after returning to work, I bought plane tickets to the country, of which I had no idea))) it was only after that I wrote to our organizer Lesha and found out that there were no seats in the group) BUT! That is what fate means) in the end, everything turned out so that I was literally at the edge of the world!) I relied completely on our organizer ... yes! That's right! Alexei had prepared an exceptionally detailed list of things we needed to take with us the day before the trip, outlined our itinerary and entertainment program, took full care of where we would live, how we would live, what we would eat (grocery shopping, barbecues, treats with local goodies), and most importantly, thought about what someone might forget something or not have time to buy. He had extra raincoats, a first-aid kit for all occasions, and groceries for that occasion. I got the distinct impression that I'm under reliable protection, because Alex did a tremendous job. Guys, even such seemingly small things as board games, souvenir badges, various music selections ... all this created an unforgettable atmosphere of comfort, friendliness and cohesion, which we felt from the first day! In one word, Lyosha, we could go to the edge of the world with you!)
Looking through the previous reviews I realized that there is no point in describing emotions about what we saw ... guys, all who were in this paradise, we will understand each other without words....а for those who have just decided, I can say that even after reviewing thousands of shows, photos, pictures you will not feel the way we felt! So trite, but ""better to see once..."" I will add only that personally I had a special day September 28, 2019, which began traditionally with an incredibly beautiful waterfall, then there were hot geothermal springs, bathing in the Arctic Ocean and the culmination - the northern lights...I cried...from happiness...
And I can't help but end my review by thanking all the guys in our group! The atmosphere is created by the people! You are incredible!!! So different, so charismatic, so open, so brave....thank YOU so much for these unforgettable 10 days! ?

About the tour: 2 years ago, after a trip to Kamchatka, I really wanted to continue the original nature and communicate with it. Just recently a friend went to Iceland, shared her impressions and I had a great desire to go there. I found Alexey. First of all attracted by the complete travel arrangements: accommodation, transportation, activities, assistance in processing visas (odelnyy respect to Alexei for the correction of documents within half an hour at the request of the visa center, he did it efficiently and the documents were taken! It took me a year and a half to decide when to go and, wanting to see the Northern Lights, I decided on September 2019.
I will say right away that I rate the trip a 10+ out of 10.
The people make a huge difference for me. This is my 5th time going on a trip in the company of strangers and it's always interesting, with this being the first time such a bonding experience with all the people. Cool guys from different cities, lots of laughter, talking about everything, songs all over the car, shared meals, going to an Irish bar in Reykjavik with live music, going to a Latin bar where a girl from the group and I danced bachata with local dancers, swimming together in the Arctic Ocean, eating the local dish, rotten shark, fun accommodation in apartments in the heart of Reykjavik and walking around the city, every day was beautiful and unforgettable.
1. organization. All stages, starting with the preparation, were perfectly planned. Help with choosing cheap tickets, visa arrangements, clothing recommendations. All days everything worked properly: hotels were waiting for us, the car drove, sights were on their places (including such unpredictable as seals, lambs, horses, rainbows). There was a single situation with the car that Alexei resolved for a couple of hours while we were walking around the city and it did not affect the trip, just confirmed the excellent organization even in unforeseen situations.
2. Itinerary. Nicely thought over, saturated, various, flexible (Alexey sometimes offered some alternatives for the day and we could choose: water park/thermal baths; visit waterfall/early arrival into town, etc.); it was always possible to be familiar with our desires, degree of tiredness and weather. Alexey drove us even to remote interesting places which not all tourists get, on shooting places " "Incredible Life of Walter Mitty", such desire to share beauty charges. Regular visits to supermarkets to buy food.
3. lodging. Exceptionally comfortable, with showers and a kitchen. Once we lived with neighbors, the rest of the time it was just our group. Half of the lodges had a huge warm tub under the open sky, it's a delight to bask in the tub at night and watch the stars and the Northern Lights.
4. Meals. Food: You have a choice of your own, it's very convenient to cook food, we had macaroni and cheese, sausages, vegetables, couscous, chicken, cheese sandwiches, etc. You yourself regulate the amount, cost and quality of food, based on your wishes.
5. Activities and attractions. On the route there were many of them, and natural: the endless ocean, black beach, cliffs, spectacular waterfalls, canyons, Northern Lights (a dream, a stunning beauty, it is just vital to see with their own eyes), geysers, bathing in thermal springs, icebergs, craters, lakes with turquoise water, beautiful panoramas, mountains, filming locations of Game of Thrones and man-made: unusual lighthouses, beautiful Protestant churches, cities, cafes, souvenir shops-everything you need on a trip.
6. Photos. They do all participants, therefore each day it is possible to refresh in memory of all places where were and to look at yourself favourite from all angles)). Alexey in addition to travel arrangements himself makes photopropsy cool pics.
7. Yagiaches. Gorgeous barbecue, cooked by Alexey, nice Icelandic souvenirs for different activities and just because).
8. Budget. For this country budget, value for money is undoubtedly advantageous.
Infinite gratitude to the organizer of the trip for the fulfillment of a dream."

About the tour: For me it was the most eventful trip. On the last day of our trip, I caught myself thinking that I often return from other countries exhausted and tired and need a rest from such a vacation. But in the case of Iceland it was the opposite: amazing landscapes, harmony of nature and an extraordinary atmosphere of serenity replenish my energy and unreal motivation! This country gave me the opportunity every day to concentrate on thinking about my path, to understand what I really want from life.
Is it worth to describe the magnificence of the lava fields, waterfalls, geysers and fjords? The weather was favorable to us and every now and then smiled with streams of rainbow that accompanied us in this unforgettable adventure along the Golden Ring. We had a rest in hot springs, jumped with the whole company on a trampoline with local kids, sent postcards home, shot boomerangs every day, and local memes about firemen, mass-market Gucci and ""He's coming!"" will be remembered for a long time ?Thanks to Alexey's masterful timing and excellent organizational skills, we were always one step ahead of endless buses of Chinese tourists; arriving on time at the planned locations and getting top content. On one of the fjords I found a crab skeleton (Loki). Took it with me and now it will remind me of this amazing trip.
I learned something new from each of you, maybe looked at things from a different angle, heard travel stories and all that inspires me to discover more of the world. Respect to Lyokha once again! Managing a group of 10 is a real challenge, but were we able to visit all the destinations on the route without losing our schedule?

About the tour: It was an incredible journey: the impressions are so bright that every day we thought "well, now we've seen everything" and every new day met on his way a new beautiful places and caught himself on the same thought "well, now we just saw everything" ?

I didn't google beforehand pictures of where we would be, so each place was something unexpected and new. And this, I think, is the coolest.

I tried to write the most memorable places, but the list kept growing from the huge number of unforgettable places we saw: waterfalls, caves, extinct volcano craters, hot springs, beach with black sand and its surroundings, grottoes, glaciers, lighthouses. What are the horses like in Iceland?

The first 5 days because of the richness of the program and full immersion in the country it seemed that we had been in Iceland for a month, but towards the end we began to realize how quickly 8 days of travel passed.
Comfortable in everything travel and accommodation, once a day we steadily stopped for groceries, music in the car on demand - everything is thought out so that to enjoy the country as much as possible and not to think about everyday things.

Evening gatherings in the common kitchen with games and conversations, jokes and communication with different, but from this more interesting people with the same addiction to travel?
I will probably remember every day for a long time and rewind it in my head, so it was from the heart.

Lyosha, thank you for such an organization, the level - ?!!!

Actually I was already bored at the airport, I'll see you guys again, won't I? ♥
