Reviews Perlan
“. When you book it doesn't provide information about how long the trip lasts or information regarding transportation. We have done several trips and the all included a coach transfer. We had to walk to the venue for 9am, as we thought we were on a set time tour. You can arrive at anything as you self guide your visit and it takes up to 3 hours to see everything. I asked TUI questions via the app but never got a reply. Once we arrived we really enjoyed the experience”
“I would not recommend going to Iceland with Tui if you are a big person. Busses are cramped, you have to fight to keep your seats as you get off and on again during tours, as people will take them. Which is annoying if you need extra legroom. The Coach from the Airport does not stop outside the hotel. You have to carry your bags across snow and ice from the bus stop to your hotel. If you slip and fall it could ruin your holiday before you reach your hotel. Every other bus company stopped outside the hotel - Tui did not. Not only inconvenient but dangerous.”
“Hervorragendes Museum, tolle Eindrücke und Dinge zum Anfassen”
