Reviews of Small Group tours to Iceland
- 10 day Guided tour | Iceland Complete - Small Group
Very nice tour of the island. Accommodations were simple but clean. Food was good, country is beautiful.
- 7 Days Self-drive | Golden Circle, South Coast, Snæfellsnes and Reykjavik (Winter)
Overall, Iceland is incredible and the sights included in the tour were amazing. The itinerary could be more detailed with time spent driving, what time certain attractions close, etc. We found ourselves driving all the way someplace just to find it closed, or not making it back to the hotel in time to eat dinner. Also, we booked a few extras through the tour like admission to the Blue Lagoon and a glacier hike. Then I learned that it's much less expensive to book directly with the lagoons and other attractions.

Paulina was a great guide and we had a wonderful experience!
