Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
one hotel was below our expectations, the hotel Vik near the town of Katla,, there was a never wing at the hotel and the tour should probably try to ensure the rooms are booked in it. the last day was a little slow with mostly driving we passed a volcano I think this would have been great, even if the geo tour were replaced with it.
