What a fantastic trip! Organized and planned incredibly well by Jewel. Iceland is just gorgeous; waterfalls, volcanos, geysers, sheep, Icelandic horses. Just wow! The carpool roadtrip worked wonderfully. Mark and Maureen were are dream to spend our days with. Joyful, engaging and easy to discuss and agree on schedule for each day. All group members were kind and conversant about the days and life in general. I would recommend this trip to anyone that appreciates natural beauty and has an adventuresome spirit! Beautiful!

All the arrangements of the trip were great. The lodgings Jewel booked were perfect for each location, whether a luxury hotel or a charming, hospitable country hostel. Each gave us the opportunity to explore its beautiful locale on foot and spectacular nearby sights by car. A couple of venues had onsite hot-spring fed pools, and most had nearby geothermal lagoons. Service was warm and welcoming every place we stayed. Breakfasts at our lodgings were generous, delicious, and varied. We fell in love with Icelandic skyr and ate it at every opportunity. Jewel’s tour included five dinners—all delicious multi-course meals that included Icelandic lamb, amazing Icelandic-grown produce, and the freshest fish we’ve tasted. Everyone on the trip was a delight; warm, caring people who enjoyed getting to know each other in wonderful surroundings. We shared an SUV with another couple who were strangers before the trip, but Jewel was spot-on when she assured us all we'd become fast friends. Every day was filled with laughs, stories, and shared adventures in the “Happy Hyundai.” This is our third adventure with Cultured Travel, but far from our last!

Great trip…great fun….people who are Considerate and easy going…a company who works hard to get it right and enjoy the little things. What else can you say? It was an adventure!

The trip was wonderful with awesome people, spectacular scenery, & lots of laughs. I kept pinching myself as I thought I could wake any moment from a good dream. Traveling with Jewel (Cultured Travel ) took the trip to the next level. She is organized, responsive, and has great instincts about the people that travel with her and their needs. She took the stress out of the trip by having it so well planned and communicating with all of us. I would go again or on a different trip with Cultured Travel. Jewel has not seen the last of the Whitvers:)

I had a great time. Enjoyed the hostel the most. The scenery was dominated with wide open vistas which I like.
