    Full marks to this Summer 8 days minibus tour of Iceland! We have been all around this beautiful island. Very well organised. ample time to see all sights. Our leader, Bane Jovanovic was super! He knows his stuff and was always ready to explain. Very knowledgable! 👍🏻👍🏻

    Just finished the 8d tour around Iceland. Was overall a fabulous trip and I would highly recommend it! Thor was absolutely fabulous. He made sure we saw everything including several extra stops which added extra value. Only thing I was not thrilled about was the horseback riding. The horses and people were fabulous. but would be better if we had more freedom to actually ride the horses and not just walk in a line on a trail. Iceland is a great country and people were all friendly.

    The tour was excellent. The guide, John ( Ionut ) was awesome and took us to the most interesting places. He knew the business well and is a skilled driver. My only gripe is that the first two nights we stayed in a semi-decent hotel, apparently owned by Troll Expeditions. It was great that we had a bathroom in the room, but the rooms were small and poorly ventilated. Great location, though. All in all, I recommend this tour if you're an active person and able to hike a little bit. Make sure you take the extra activities package as they were extremely awesome!

    Good tour to get an overview of Iceland. Besides the sights, the standout activities were the glacier hike, Katla Ice Cave and whale watching. The appropriate attire and equipment were provided which made the activities safe and enjoyable.

    We had a busy but very enjoyable 8 day tour. We had David as our guide for the trip. He was great but sometimes his driving left us a little nervous, especially when overtaking! No, David!!! 😉 The tour itself took us to many lovely places. Fantastic scenery with waterfalls, lava fields, glaciers, ice cave, geysers, coastal scenery, a spa trip, whale watching etc. Plenty of comfort and food breaks each day too for the 12 on our tour. After a couple of days rain, we were blessed with warmth and sunshine which made the trip. We were disappointed with our first hotel for two nights as their kitchen was closed so we had to buy microwave meals for those nights. One hotel was also overbooked so we had a long drive one afternoon to get to the new one. I felt this made our day at the glacier lagoon shorter than scheduled. All in all we enjoyed our holiday. It was good that the others on the tour were very friendly and some similar in age to us silver surfers! Thank you.

    Would recommend this as a great trip to explore Iceland. The country has to wide variety of scenery ranging from hot springs, lava caves, waterfalls to ice caves. We were lucky to have sunny weather all 8 days. Our tour guide Daviō was amazing, he was sharing interesting stories about various tourist spots we visited. Also, he was sharing great food recommendations

    Get tour! We stayed active and experienced the natural beauty of Iceland. The small group size allowed us to get to know each other well and not to spend time waiting for others. We skipped the touristy places. The ICE CAVE trip was the highlight for me.

    Wonderful trip with Johan our guide. The trip around the island was great, but I really enjoyed listening to Johan and him relating his stories of growing up in this isolated country. His family stories were what brought the tour to life. Our van was roomy and new giving everybody space to stretch out. I highly recommend this tour.

      Cristina

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      How do I communicate what hotel for you to pick me up at day 1. Also can I add on Lava caves and VOK baths during the trip or have to decide at time of booking?

    • Troll ExpeditionsOperatorWritten August 2025

      Once you will arrive in Reykjavik, you can stay at a hotel of your choice (not included in the tour), and the same goes for the last night after we drop you off. When booking, you'll be able to select your accommodation or the nearest designated bus stop for pick-up on Day 1. As for add-ons like the Lava Cave and Vök Baths, you can add the Lava Cave during the booking process or at least 48 hours before departure so we can make the necessary arrangements.

    Transport
    • Troll ExpeditionsOperatorWritten January 2025

      A private guided tour on a minibus is quite an expensive experience compared to regular tours. Consider around 300,000 ISK per day (12hours day) as a budget, activities and hotel excluded. Hotels cost about 25,000-30,000 ISK per room, twin, double, or triple, plus you need to pay for the guide's room.

    Frank

    Asked on December 28th, 2024

    I was just wondering if there would be a stop in Husavik long enough to go to the Eurovision museum?

    Tour Details
    • Troll ExpeditionsOperatorWritten December 2024

      The 8-day Around Iceland tour does not currently include a dedicated stop in Húsavík that allows enough time to visit the Eurovision Museum.
