What people love about Fully Guided Tours in Iceland
- 6 day Guided tour | Hidden Powers & Northern Lights Hunt - Small Group
Great tour and small group which was amazing! Guide was knowledgeable. Stops were perfect with plenty of relax and down time. I would recommend this company does a “welcome dinner” or “welcome cocktail” to meet everyone and their guide before the start of the tour. Communication is fine but morning of the tour was tumultuous since nobody knew who anyone was and where exactly to meet. Even if not included, a welcome cocktail would be beneficial for travelers and guide at their own behest.
- 6 day Guided tour | Hidden Powers & Northern Lights Hunt
This Tour is Fantastic! Our Tour Guide and Bus Driver were amazing. Both were knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The Hotels were wonderful. The Breakfasts and Dinners were delicious. Each day we visited many places, but there was never a rushed feeling. It was fun to make memories with all the friendly people on the Tour. I look forward to visiting Iceland again!
- Best of Iceland
Iceland was on my bucket list for many years. I was finally able to tick it off last year. I didn't know much about Iceland and maybe that's why I was so in awe during the trip. I've recommended this G Adventures trip to everyone who has asked me.

What are the main benefits of taking a fully guided tour in Iceland?
A fully guided tour in Iceland takes care of the complex logistics while providing expert local knowledge and safety across the country's diverse terrain. Guides like Thomas who receives consistent praise from TourRadar travelers ensures groups get sufficient time at key sites from the Golden Circle to remote glaciers. Tours typically include stays at well-located hotels such as Fosshotel Baron in Reykjavik while handling all transportation between major attractions like Gullfoss waterfall Geysir hot springs and Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. Local guides share detailed context about Iceland's unique geology cultural heritage and historical significance at each stop.
How does the seasonal timing affect fully guided tours in Iceland?
Each season in Iceland presents distinct travel experiences. Summer tours from June to August take advantage of endless daylight to explore highland regions like Landmannalaugar. Winter trips between November and March focus on northern lights viewing and visiting ice caves at Vatnajökull. Summer temperatures average 11°C (52°F) making it comfortable to visit waterfalls like Skógafoss while winter hovers around -2°C (28°F) transforming places like Þingvellir National Park into snow-covered wonderlands. Guides adapt the daily schedule based on weather conditions and seasonal daylight.
What kind of accommodations can I expect on a fully guided Iceland tour?
Most guided tours use comfortable 3-star hotels with private bathrooms across Iceland. Central Reykjavik accommodations often include properties like Fosshotel Baron while South Coast stays might be at Hotel Skaftafell near Vatnajökull glacier. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The hotels were wonderful and the breakfasts were delicious." Standard amenities include breakfast WiFi and convenient locations near attractions. Some remote destinations like Höfn or Vík feature quality guesthouses that provide a more local experience.
What should I pack for a fully guided tour in Iceland?
Essential gear for Iceland's changeable weather includes waterproof hiking boots thermal layers waterproof outerwear warm accessories and swimwear for geothermal pools like the Blue Lagoon. Travelers emphasize the importance of quality rain gear when visiting exposed sites like Skógafoss waterfall or Reynisfjara beach. For glacier excursions at locations like Sólheimajökull guides provide technical equipment.
