“On these trips the guide makes or breaks the trip in my opinion. Elli completely made this trip. He was full of knowledge and recommendations. He loves his job and that shines through and benefits all who go on a tour with him. We saw and experienced countless wonders in Iceland with the unforgettable trip. The glacier hike had to be one of our top expeditions though, and Edgar and Pare were both fabulous guides for that as well. This trip is absolutely worth it.”

4.8-Day Iceland Ring Road Tour: Reykjavik, Akureyri, Golden Circle & South Coast

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 81 reviews · from $2,780

Spend eight days circling Iceland by guided minibus, with seven hotel nights, breakfast, a Vatnajökull glacier hike, whale watching from Dalvík, and stops at the Golden Circle, Mývatn, Akureyri, and the South Coast. Expect a maximum of 18 people, shared rooms unless you pay for a single, and long days outdoors.

“This trip feels like a school trip and not in a good way. The choice of accommodation is very poor, as you need to embrace no hot water and poor catering. Given choice, I would just copy itinerary and drive around in the car. The guide is the only positivity in the ocean of inconvenience and rude unprofessional service.”
