“Had a fab break in Iceland over NYE. Reykjavik goes bonkers with fireworks and watching it from a boat in the harbour was the best way to view this spectacle. We were blessed with a cold clear night which allowed us to se the Northern Lights before the fireworks got going!! The rest of the trip was mainly self driving which allowed us to see the sights (i.e. waterfalls, geysers and black beaches) at our pace which is invaluable especially as the weather changes quickly and the rain can be very very heavy! WALC planning was a great level of luxury / value for money so we look forward to booking with them again in the future”

“I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for organising such a wonderful holiday! From the moment we booked to the moment we touched back down in the UK everything went smoothly and that's thanks to you and your team for organising. You certainly lived up to the name 'Weekend a la carte' as the accommodation and food was exceptional and not to mention the excursions we done were just brilliant hosted by some great pioneers. Firstly the Rival Hotel in Stockholm was a joy to stay in with friendly staff and an ideally situated hotel in the heart of Stockholm. Then we were welcomed by Petri at the airport in Kiruna who throughout the few days made sure we were looked after and being a great personality it was great spending time with him. Bjorn who done the snowmobiles made the experience special and personal with how he organised it and it meant taking away life time memories. Ilva who we done the huskies with was one of the best people we met all week. The family who look after the dogs were very welcoming and friendly and also allowed us to help with the dog setup, putting them away etc which really added a special personal touch which was my personal highlight of the week. Sarah who done the photography for the Northern Lights tour, well seeing the lights just speaks for itself and I have been able to come away with 100's of life time pictures of the lights because of her expertise and help. Once again many thanks for making dreams come true! I would highly recommend you to friends and family.”

“Abisko Mountain Lodge was a fantastic location, the staff were extremely friendly and the kitchen went out of their way to create delicious meals that catered for our dietary requirements. The only slightly disappointing point was that all our activities were changed from morning to afternoon which meant that they were all done in total darkness so we could not appreciate any of the scenery. We noted that other groups also travelling with yourselves had the same activities such as husky sledding and snowmobiling in the morning and were able to talk to us about the views they had seen. Had we had the opportunity to also do these in the morning it would have been a 5 star holiday.”

“This was planned as a special 60th birthday for my wife and was the first time for seven years that we had been on holiday with our two children. It did not disappoint. The travel arrangement were fine, area was fascinating, hotel a prefect combination of casual, friendly and very comfortable, food was terrific and each excursion was well organised and fun. We were very well looked after and the fact that we did not see the Northern Lights did not really matter in the end. Lots of other fun memories !!”

“The service and whole process from booking the holiday, providing information and communication generally were excellent. Everything went smoothly so I would definitely use Weekend a la carte again to book a holiday.”

“What a great trip. Saw the northern lights on several occasions. Everyone looked after us very well and nothing seemed to be too much trouble - Mikka and Annika (a pleasant and unexpected surprise to meet another Aussie, who had lived in the next suburb) and all the staff at Máttaráhkká - Johan and his family at the Wilderness Cabins (including a delightful Christmas hymn serenade from an Angel and a Gingerbread man) - Mina and the staff at Abisko Mountain Lodge - everyone that organised our activities Our only suggestion for improvement would be to have the session with a professional photographer at the beginning rather than on the last night so that we could have had some tips to use our own camera as well as the ones supplied. All arrangements went smoothly and the communication was good. Thank you!”

“We have travel all over the world with different companies and I have to say this is by far the best Company we have dealt with. There were no issues once so ever, and every activity, hotel, or service that was provided was top notch. We will definitely use this company in the future.”

“A wonderful package, very well put together. It was seamlessly executed and left us to enjoy every moment of the trip with it and stress or worry. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would recommend it to anyone. A personal highlight would be the wilderness cabin/arctic gourmet cabin which is such a special location to capture the incredible aurora.”

“We had a brilliant 4 nights in Iceland, incredible country with scenery that blows your mind. Both hotels were great, especially Ranga and the tours were amazing to experience, especially if you see the northern lights like we did.”

“We had a very enjoyable break, even though the bad weather led to a number of cancelled trips. The hotel was very nice and the food good. We especially enjoyed the Super Jeep trip up to the glaciers. And Omah was a terrific guide - very knowledgable and good company. The only downside was that the name that my flight was booked in did not match my passport, which led to a prolonged conversation at passport control in both directions. Otherwise a good experience that I would recommend. Steve”

Dear Steve Thank you for taking the time to give us a review and I am delighted you had a good time despite the cancelled activities due to poor weather. I have just double checked and the flights were booked in the exact names as you supplied to us on your passenger form. Very pleased it did not cause a real problem for you and that you were allowed to fly. Thank you again for taking the time to Review us. Regards Abigail

“We had a great break in Iceland. Sadly no Northern Lights, but the scenery was stunning, good accommodation, and some excellent meals, particularly in Reykjavík. The highlight was the Superjeep tour, our guide Stefan was great fun, both on the Northern lights evening, and the glacier trip, which was combined with the river tour and ended up as a whole day out. We avoided the Blue Lagoon, partly due to flight timing, and partly due to wanting to avoid the tourist trail, and we were glad we did this, and enjoyed a relaxing evening in Reykjavík instead.”

Dear Howard, Thank you for your kind review and delighted you had such a good time. The photo is gorgeous so you obviously had some great weather. Disappointed for you that you didn't get to see the Northern Lights - I just wish they were on a switch as it would make my life a lot easier! Thank you again for taking the time to write in.

“We planned this trip as a joint celebration of our 50th Birthdays and it was utterly memorable in so many fantastic ways. The Wilderness Cabin is in an amazing location, beautifully designed and appointed and with a sense of isolation and space that we've rarely come across before. The huge windows allow you to experience the full daytime and night-time views, out of the wind and from the comfort of underfloor heating. We found ourselves walking around the house with the lights off on clear nights, using moonlight as our only light source. On our self catering nights and breakfasts, the food stocking the fridge and cupboards was plentiful and varied so we never lacked for anything. It was such a relaxing place to be in. On arrival at the house on the first night we were greeted by our guide Stefan (from Southcoast Adventure) who had cooked for us, and yes the local lamb is something else. He picked us up the following morning for our Golden Circle Tour and with just the two of us in the car, we spent the entire day entranced by the landscapes unfolding before us. Stefan was great company, huge fun to be around, relaxed but knowledgeable and allowed us to explore at it all our own pace. He also took us in a larger group on a Super Jeep tour to Ejyafjallajokull and Porsmork the following day - an incredible trip with stunning views that will last long in our memories. Stefan and the other staff we met from Southcoast Adventure were relaxed yet professional, and all enthused to share their amazing homeland. Heading to toward Reykjavik via the Blue Lagoon, we stayed in the very handily situated and comfortable Hotel Centrum before an early morning flight back. It was an incredible trip, effortless in terms of the planning and organisation from Weekend a la Carte and both of us were stunned by what Iceland had to offer and can't wait to go back.”
