Reviews of Small Group tours to Iceland
- Icelandic Odyssey: Adventures of Fire and Ice
Everything was totally fine, starting with very kind and helpful girl on customer line and ending with perfectly organized trip to Iceland. I recommend Worldee with 10/10 :)
- Iceland Northern Lights & Golden Circle
Great country to visit. So many surprises (from city wide fireworks on New Years Eve to really good cooking by our guide). The mixture of volcanoes, glaciers, & waterfalls were stunning to see. The long January nights worked for us to see the Aurora Borealis. You get a little bit of Yellowstone National Park, a little bit of the Galapagos geology, a little bit of gale force winds, & a lot of cold weather. Dress appropriately. We had a great guide, who really loved her country & tried to show us as much as possible. We will treasure this memory for the rest of our life.
- Best of Iceland
The tour met my expectations fully and guide Biggy tried very hard to ensure that this was the case. Would recommend to tourists who do mot like large buses.

What experiences become more accessible with a small group tour in Iceland?
Small groups can readily participate in activities that larger tours find challenging such as guided glacier walks on Sólheimajökull or intimate boat rides at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon.
