Plotpackers Reviews 677

This Iceland trip was my first time visiting the country, as well as my first group tour with Plotpackers, and I would definitely consider them for another! Beautiful country, and our host Tonia and tour guide Ru were such a fun and amazing duo.

Tonia was so pleasant, patient and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying their experience. She even stepped in as a personal photographer sometimes to help us get the right shot! Coming from a travel influencer, her input was much appreciated!

Ru was well versed in all things Iceland! I appreciated his fun facts, his humor, and the fact that he even knew how to time the geysers! Most importantly, he was very kind, considerate, and accommodating to our needs and concerns, leaving no one behind or feeling left out.

I came on the trip with an injured ankle and foot, and worried about my ability to walk most of the tours. I honestly thought this would ruin my first experience in Iceland, dreaded missing out on quite a bit in case I needed to sit out on some things. Ru and Tonia both assured me if there was anything they could do to help, something as simple as slowing down the pace of the walks, or modifying where I'd have the best views at the waterfalls so I wouldn't have to walk too far, to just let them know. I appreciated that immensely, and for that reason, I'd not only travel with Plotpackers again, but I'd recommend them to anyone who will listen! Thank you Tonia and Ru!

This was a first group tour I did and I was nervous about it because I didn't know what to expect. The organization of the guides Ru and Tonia made it easier, they answered all my questions before the trip started in a whats app chat that he made. Upon arriving to Iceland things were easier to navigate. Ru was a great guide and was knowledgeable about the history of Iceland. He was very helpful and made this experience great for me. Thanks to Tonia for allowing me to experience this when she posted it on her Instagram page @toniahope. Hope to travel with you guys soon on a next group trip. Thank you plotpackers for a great experience. For the price we paid we really got our money worth considering other tour groups are twice as much.

Our Iceland trip with Plotpackers had some memorable moments, and I’d like to start by thanking Ru, who was truly fantastic throughout friendly, organised, and always willing to help. His effort and positive attitude made a big difference to our experience.

However, there were several areas where the trip fell short of expectations given the cost (around £999). The accommodation was below the standard we anticipated small rooms and limited comfort and the tour organisation was inconsistent. For example, what we were told would be a private tour ended up being shared with other groups, which was disappointing and felt misleading.

The itinerary felt rushed, with only 3–4 days to cover a lot of activities, and at times it felt like more could have been done to ensure better pacing and value for money. Considering Iceland’s expense, I understand costs are high, but transparency about what’s included and the standard of accommodation and tours would help manage expectations.

Overall, Ru deserves recognition for his excellent support and care during the trip, he genuinely tried to make things right. But the company needs to improve communication, trip planning, and value for money to make future experiences live up to their promises

I recently went on the Greenland trip and it was worth every penny!! As a solo traveller, without going on this trip, travelling to Greenland simply wouldn’t have been possible or affordable. Don’t be put off by the price as many bucket list activities and sights got ticked off on this trip. Cora was an amazing guide, very knowledgable as he grew up in the area and his mother even made us some traditional Greenlandic cake! We had one minor issue on the trip, but it was swiftly sorted by our plotpackers contact/representative so cannot fault them. This was my third trip with the company, and I’m sure I’ll be back for more in 2026

I had an amazing time with plotpackers in Tasiilaq, Greenland. I really enjoyed Greenland itself but Cora as a guide made it so much more special and fun! Thanks for everything 👌🏽

This was one of the most exciting, adventurous, and truly breathtaking trips I’ve ever taken. Traveling to Iceland felt like an unattainable dream, but thanks to Tonia (@toniahope_) and the incredible PlotPackers team, it became a reality that exceeded all expectations.

I was lucky to be paired with Ru, an extremely knowledgeable and engaging guide who brought so much energy, knowledge, and appreciation for the Icelandic culture, along with a lovely group of travelers. He was t(RU)ly the best guide ever.

From start to finish, I was encouraged to step outside my comfort zone. From plunging into icy waters at Secret Lagoon to climbing behind a waterfall. I have so many unforgettable memories!

Also, shoutout to our driver Josip - very punctual and filled with fun facts.

I can't wait to book another trip with Plotpackers. I had a remarkable time.

I did an absolutely amazing trip with Plotpackers to Tasiilaq in Greenland. We did long hikes to the most amazing viewpoints and went on very cool boat tours and saw so many icebergs, whales and birds. Our local guide Cora from Arctic Dream was wonderful. He had grown up in the area and knew all the best spots! Truly a trip for outdoor & nature lovers. Unfortunately the direct flights to East Greenland might be cancelled in the future, but even with stopover, it will still be so worth it and you could add some nice days in the capital Nuuk.

If not for plotpackers, this trip would have cost THOUSANDS in Greenland. The flights were pricey, and we weren’t told the correct info on the cost (Iceland-Greenland return cost me £1200 instead of the £700 i was quoted lol) BUT it was so so so worth it. We had a lovely guide who grew up in the area and on multiple occasions invited us to his house for coffee and cake made by his mother, how adorable! The trips we did were wonderful, saw a part of the world I don’t think would otherwise be possible, and even saw a humpback whale! I loved the trip.

Bunch of rubbish. Worst experience of Thailand. I went solo traveling before to Thailand and it was way more fun just doing the hostels. The trip was expensive and I got nothing from it. I did email regarding the situation or a partial refund and they didn't even reply.

I went on the Plot Packers Maldives trip earlier this year with Lucy as our host and she was honestly incredible. It was my first time doing anything like this so I was quite nervous, but Lucy made me feel comfortable straight away. We had such a lovely girl group, everyone clicked from the start and we had so many laughs.

There was a little issue after the first night, but Lucy handled it so well and actually turned it into something that made the trip even better. What stands out most is that I went into this trip during a really hard time in my life, and it truly helped pull me out of it. Since then I honestly haven’t been the same in the best way possible.

It ended up being one of the best experiences of my life and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Thank you Lucy!! 🩵

Our host Layla, our guide Mehdi, and our wonderful group of girls made this trip absolutely perfect and unforgettable. I wouldn’t have changed a thing, I love all of these people and the memories that came because of them. 💗💗

I just came back from the 2025 September Iceland trip and it couldn't have been better. The itinerary was jam-packed and so so cool, our guide Eddi was hilarious and very knowledgeable. The hostel was basic but very comfortable, but we spent so little time there that we didn't need anything else as we were too busy exploring! The location of the hostel was perfect, it was super close to all the interesting things to see, do, and eat in Reykjavik. Everyone on the trip was so lovely and so eager and open to making immediate friends so it was super fun to explore with complete strangers. Am so eager to try another Plotpackers trip!

Layla and my tour guide Mehdi made my trip incredible!!

As a first solo traveling experience, I was very overwhelmed as it came time to leave for this trip. But Im so glad I trusted myself as this was the most beautiful and fun experience I could've asked for. Our guide, JD, in Colombia is such an attentive person, communicated everything down to a T for things as miniscule as transportation or meals, and genuinely cared and was there for every hiccup on the way. Jd was incredibly patient and open to our groups suggestions as well which made everything even more enjoyable. Colombia is a beautiful country and this tour does a great job of displaying that. Minca and the Rosario Islands were my personal favorites. If you get the chance to go on this trip, I fully recommend you take it. You'll go back home with an indescribable understanding of the country, a great tan, and new besties from all over the world.

plotpackers made an amazing itinerary which each duration in a place was absolutely perfect. can’t wait to book my next :)

Our tour guide JD made this group trip one to remember. He was extremely knowledgeable about Colombia and helpful with everything! All the activities that Plotpackers planned for us was so much fun. I’m so happy i got to explore such a beautiful country.

We had the absolute best guide you could ask for he was super helpful with everything and he was really friendly and funny. Couldn’t ask for anyone better.

I had a great time on this trip. Nick our guide was very good and made us all feel welcome in a new place. I would definitely consider plotpackers again. Thank you

Just finished an amazing trip to Peru with Plotpackers! All of our hostels were lovely and the itinerary made for a really devoting trip. Our guide Sol was so lovely and looking after and organising everything for us so well - thank you so much❤️

I went on a trip to Peru with Dominique and our local guide Debs! Debs and Dominque were so amazing and the group of people Plotpackers and Dominique were able to bring together was amazing! Going on group trips is nice because everything is planned and you just have to come! This was my second PlotPackers trip and I will be going on more in the future! ❤️ Overall 10/10 in every category 👏🏽
