Multi-Generational Family/Graduation trip to Iceland
Heather did the most phenomenal job putting together and getting us to the locations our daughter dreamed of seeing. This trip is one of the best we have ever been on and the partners she worked with provided exceptional tour guides and accommodations. The trip was great for all the ages we had from 12-81.
