What people love about Iceland Tours from Reykjavik
- 6 Day - Iceland Ring Road Small-Group Tour
Great way to see the north as well as the south end of the island. SOOO many waterfalls all with their own shapes and colors. Our tour guide, Kalman, was great. As soon as we stopped somewhere, he was using his resources to figure out weather, road closures, whether the puffins had arrived, etc. We met such a nice group of people and had an excellent trip. Be aware that you do stay at different hotels each night (but we really liked all of them, and all had nice breakfasts in the morning), so pack light so you can easily move from one to the next!
- 5 Day - Snæfellsnes & South Coast
Overall the tour was very good. We were on the 5 day tour. We weren't told it was actually two different tours, a 2-day tour and a 3-day tour. The tour guides were excellent and very knowledgeable. They went out of their way for us to have a good experience. The accommodation was mostly fine. However, one night the tour was split into two groups that stayed at different hotels. The two hotels were of very different quality. We were put in what was basically student dorms, filled with school children. The washroom was moldy. The room was so small, we couldn't both open our suitcases and there was nowhere to put the suitcases. This was very upsetting. As a group of 6 people that booked far in advance, it was extremely disappointing and surprising that we were given a sub-standard hotel (Hotel Cabin in Reykjavik). At the beginning of the tour, we were told to be ready at a certain time and weren't picked up until 2 hours later without any communication. One of the people in our party had to wait outdoors in the cold and rain waiting for these 2 hours. This is unacceptable.
