Vater und Sohn — 24 und 59 Jahre alt — auf einer 10-tägigen Winterreise mit der Hilfe von Another Iceland, und es war einfach großartig! Die Hotels, die Reiserouten, die Empfehlungen, die Attraktionen und vor allem die Preise haben uns vollständig überzeugt. Eine günstigere Reise hätten wir in Eigenregie nicht hinbekommen.
