    My tour was beyond what I had hoped. The tour guide and our driver were absolutely perfectly balanced. We often got to the excursion sites before other tour groupes which was hugely beneficial. We fitted in so much in just a few days and loved ever-minute.., my first solo trip was an epic success and a great mixture of others too. I even made friends with a few fellow travelers and hoping to book to come again. Watch this space and thank you for organising a trip so well. Happy New year to the team 😊

    We had a great guide an amazing driver. We felt safe and it was amazing fun. Unbelievable sites with great information given constantly. Can’t imagine you could have so much fun The guide and driver made it so wonderful I was worried because my husband has a walker for mobility but they helped at every turn.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • GJ TravelOperatorWritten October 2023

      We unfortunately do not have any family rooms for the tour. If you are interested in booking the tour you would need to book two rooms. We can always request to have rooms close to each other. An 8 year old and a 10 year old could have some fun experiencing something different. There is a bonfire on New Year's Eve, seeing the fireworks. The sites you are going to see are some of the most popular sights in Iceland. This would be a great tour for you!
