“Could not imagine a better tour leader out there!! Samantha’s meticulous attention to detail and continuous planning, enthusiasm, care and compassion, and eagerness to share knowledge were all above and beyond!”

I have been on several group trips before and this trip was even better than I expected. The value was excellent and I especially enjoyed making new friends in my community!

Well organized in advance by Samantha but flexible as needed; terrific guide, and driver; variety of activities and experiences in a variety of locations; right group size. I loved that most of the participants were relatively local and all were interesting. Make this a staple of your offerings!

As long as timing works for us, you can pre-book us on any future trips you do! Superb! I'll admit I had some reservations going with a group of people I did not know, but it turned out to be very enjoyable. I look forward to maintaining some new friendships that I wouldn't have made without the trip.

I learned more about Iceland on this trip than I thought possible, and formed several new friendships! We received a lot for the cost. I was VERY pleased with the program! This might just be the best trip I've ever taken… and I’ve traveled a lot!

It was the best group trip that I have been a part of. Samantha was our smiling leader, always on top of the details for each participant and the group, making sure things happened smoothly. We were in good hands with Samantha, she is extremely knowledgeable.

Wow! The best. Overwhelming thorough research, preparation, personally scouting all the sites ahead of time, preparing the group mentally, educationally, and logistically, friendly, playful, knowledgeable, helpful, always checking in with people. Samantha should be proud of her work on this trip! She handled everything with grace and professionalism.

This was the first time I have traveled with a tour group. I was hesitant to be with a large group of people, and it was a wonderful group of mixed ages. Everyone had a youthful spirit and was excited to try everything. Great selection of activities for all levels to participate, and excellent local tour guide was appreciated.  Planning was outstanding. A very positive experience!

Extremely organized. Not bored at all. I loved that there was not a lot of down time. Samantha is a phenomenal guide! Every question that the group had she had an answer for! She kept us updated on time to arrive at a destination and the amount of time we had at the destination. The guides (hand-picked) were fabulous also. She was just GREAT! The whole trip was a blast! Sorry but I don’t think it can improve; it was perfect.
