An agency that has constantly bought up other agencies (Arctic Adventures, Extreme Iceland...) to the point where it's impossible to find someone to talk to. Unfortunately, the company has become a wholesaler with no quality service for mass tourism. In recent years, their service has really lost its lustre, as it has become too big and therefore a bit of a factory, which is a pity... We would therefore like to warn you and advise you to avoid this establishment. Please feel free to choose another of the receptive agencies listed in this guide.
