Testimonials

This trip was so much fun. I told my travel advisor that I wanted to visit as many hot springs as possible and she created an itinerary that included a visit every day! Quest Travel Adventures carefully planned the trip so we were driving on safe roads that didn't have any issues with closures due to bad weather. The accommodations were perfect - simple and clean. Reykjavik was an amazing city to explore on foot and we spent a day on the hop on/off bus so we could learn and see as much as possible. Each activity planned was so much fun, my favorite being the hike on the glacier. This trip was really well organized and I all definitely travel with Quest again in the future.
