“Our guide Gulli was absolutely incredible. We had a blast seeing so much of Iceland on our 4 day tour. I will say, the bus seats are not super comfortable so be prepared. I have bad sciatica and the seat belts hit right at the nerve, so I used a t shirt for some cushion. Also a warning: If you’re not prepared to be on a tight schedule with plenty of time to walk about, this is not for you. It is go, go, go. My husband and I are in our early 30s and we went with my dad who is in his 60s. We were all exhausted the…”

8.7 Day Iceland with Reykjavik Northern Light | Blue Lagoon | Golden Circle ……

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5 reviews · 7 days (approx.) · from $3,685

Spend seven days exploring Iceland by coach, with six hotel nights, breakfast, airport transfers, Northern Lights hunting, Reykjavik sightseeing, the Golden Circle, South Coast waterfalls, Snæfellsnes, and the Blue Lagoon. The group is advertised as small, though the operating details allow up to 50 people, so confirm group size before booking.

“Overall, was a great itinerary. Viator uses Arago Travel agency out of India. Some good, some not so good aspects. Pro’s: itinerary, responsiveness and re-bookings when needed, they tracked all issues and changes and adjusted quickly. Con’s: hotel chosen. Was one of 3 FossHotels in area and were put in the oldest and cheapest facility. We weren’t there much of course, but property was very bare bones. For example, if you pointed your elbows out on either side of you, the shower wasn’t big enough to accommodate. Very cramped and noisy, every sound could be heard through walls. Not one good night sleep.”
