Recently Best Travel got a nice feedback of Noela and Bob from Australia travelling around Iceland before flying to Switzerland:

Hi Eggert,
We are now home after spending some time in Switzerland. Wanted to say thanks again for the wonderful tour you conducted for Noela and me. We enjoyed everything and were very pleased to meet you. I am attaching the photo I took of you and Noela at the lava waterfall. Not very good I am afraid. Hope all is well with you. With best wishes, Bob.
