Enjoyable Introduction to Iceland 2 , VIC, Australia, Jun 2019
Very enjoyable short introduction to Iceland. Easy booking and details well managed both in advance and on the ground. Global Journeys very easy to deal with from initial contact to questions and follow up. Only issue were flights which we booked with RyanAir and IcelandAir via Oslo - arriving at Reykjavik was a poor experience with very extended delay ...read more in retrieving luggage meant that we were late for dinner/briefing.
