What are people saying about Iceland

Anthony_R, Jul 2026

What a beautiful...

What a beautiful waterfall. Please give yourself some time since it is quite the hike. Please bring some hiking shoes if you wanna go to the top. Also the line for the bathroom was long so I would go as soon as you get there. But I must say we were tired after reaching the top but it so worth it. The guide we had was great and explained a lot and made the 3.5 hour tour go by fast. Would recommend this tour again.

Reykjavik Food Lovers Tour - Icelandic Traditional Food

Indy, Jun 2026

Local food and not touristy stuff

I always do these food tours so I get a taste of local foods (and not the tourist trap food). This tour did not disappoint. Our guide Stefan took us to 5 places and we sat down leisurely at almost every place (unlike food tours where you always stand outside and eat). We also had a trainee guide in our group, so we were basically lucky to have two guides! Lots of discussion about Icelandic culture while we were eating.

Golden Circle Small-Group Afternoon Tour from Reykjavik

JaswinderSingh_P, Jun 2026

Amazing, this Golden...

Amazing, this Golden Circle adventure was an absolute dream! Walking directly between the tectonic plates at Thingvellir was surreal. Watching the Strokkur geyser erupt into the sky and feeling the raw, thundering power of Gullfoss waterfall was breathtaking. The landscapes felt otherworldly.

Absolutely amazing.

This was AMAZING. The suits are an experience in and of themselves, but kept us very dry and very buoyant. The water was unbelievably clear and Nail was incredible, especially with my mom. The time passed so fast, I could have kept going for much longer. I soaked up every moment I could exploring the lagoon after the Silfra. Unreal.

Studlagil Canyon and Waterfall Tour from Seydisfjordur

Julia_F, Jun 2026

Great Tour!

If you’re coming off a cruise that needs to tender to the dock, PLEASE plan that you will probably NOT get off the boat right away. Cruise lines let their shore excursions off first. We got our tender ticket early and still had to wait about an hour until we could get off the ship. Luckily we made it in time, but many people didn’t. This in no way detracted from this tour, just a heads up when scheduling your tour time and get your tickets for the tender EARLY! This was a wonderful tour. Our guide Tanya and driver T.P. were excellent. Stuðlagil Canyon was beautiful. Just a fair warning, if you take the stairs, there are 239 of them. Each way. You can take an inclined walkway as another option. There is a small place that sells food/drinks but plan to spend some time in line. Also, when we arrived in the parking lot and everyone got off the bus, the restrooms were packed! By the time I made it up the stairs, the line was much better. We stopped by a couple waterfalls which were amazing. I definitely recommend this excursion!

Airport Transfer: Keflavik Airport to Reykjavik Center in Iceland

Bus ticket Reykjavík airport to city Central

Very easy process from the airport, but from the central bus station, an additional bus transfer ticket is needed to the area of our hotel. Other passengers weren’t aware of that and needed to exit the bus and unload their luggage to buy the additional ticket.

Bring a wind & rainproof hooded jacket. Weather goes from blue sky to rain in a flash. Get to boat early to guarantee good seating. Sit at the front of the boat for best view. Use their binoculars. The guides are marine biologists and are knowledgeable. They entertain any questions. Overall, OUTSTANDING tours!!

Exploring the ice caves...

Exploring the ice caves on the glacier on an active volcano was a once in a lifetime experience! Hawk, our tour guide, was great! He was very knowledgeable about volcanoes and ice caves and took the time to answer questions so everyone left with a better understanding of both. Fantastic tour!

Golden Circle, Secret Lagoon & Kerið Small Group Tour

Golden Circle Tour with comedic banter

Traveled on Easter Sunday for this Golden Circle tour. Very little traffic in the city so we were soon on our way. Franklin was our guide. He is a native Icelander and his comedic dialogue kept us laughing throughout the trip. Enjoyed the tour since we didn’t have to think about driving or parking. Franklin shared very interesting information about the country and the sights. He was so thoughtful that he took time to verify another passenger’s booked event after the tour so she wasn’t dropped off in the wrong spot. A larger than life Icelander with a heart of gold. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

Awesome experience for a girls trip. Staff is friendly and ensure safety is important! Shout out to Piotr for saving my friend’s life - she started panicking with the mask on and he saw her right away, grabbed her and helped her calm down and breath properly with the mask on. Highly recommend ! Fun group of operators.
