Reviews

We did the Iceland Ring Road tour with Jeff in January/February, 2025 and it was a amazing tour. Jeff and his driver/guide, Siggi knew all the right places to be at the right time and Jeff was always there with the helpful hints on angles, views, etc., to make our photos a couple notches better. Jeff was very attentive to the group and always there with hints and help, whether it was getting gear on and off the van or making sure we had everything we needed at our accommodations or getting the best shot on our photo stops. This was our second tour with Jeff and I'm sure it will not be our last.
