ADVENTURES.COM
Read moreAn 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.
