Jennie was the Holiday Director on Just You’s first overseas tour since the world opened up once again, for her it was an emotional experience and one that she will treasure for a long time. Here is what Jennie had to say about her Icelandic adventure…
"It was so exciting to be back on a Just You solos tour again. I thought that it was the travel that I would have missed the most, but what I found, and especially with Just You customers was watching my group come together and make new friends, it was all very emotional.
I think it is what people have really missed, the coming together as a group and sharing those amazing experiences when we are out exploring and then talking about it later when we were back in the hotel.
For our first tour, Iceland was perfect, it is completely unique. Iceland has scenery like nowhere else in the world. I come from a geography background and I love the natural sights of this incredible country.
Highlights of Iceland
The favourite day for me on Just You’s Icelandic Splendours tour is when we go out on the Golden Circle, which is a popular route looping from Reykjavik, into central Iceland and back again. This day gives you a chance to get out of the city and view some of the natural phenomena that this country has to offer.
One of the incredible highlights of the Golden Circle for me is walking along the two tectonic plates, it is an amazing thing to do, and, on this tour, we walk on the American side. You also have the incredible Gullfoss waterfall and of course the geysers. The most famous of which is the Strokkur Geyser which erupts every few minutes. What was special on this tour was that the weather was perfect, the sky was so blue, so it made the geysers look even more impressive as the water leapt out of the ground against the stunning blue backdrop.
