“This was a fantastic trip! Hilmer, our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. I felt very safe with him driving especially with the wind blowing so fast. I would recommend anyone that’s planning to come to Iceland to do this tour, whether in group or alone. I loved everything about it. All the people we met on tour, we won’t forget. Each hotel that we stayed at had great service and great food! A little tip, make sure you follow the guide for what clothes to bring because you can get wet or it can be very cold, so plan accordingly. Safe travels!”

2.6-Day Minibus Tour Around Iceland from Reykjavik

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 465 reviews · 6 days (approx.) · from $2,361

Travel Iceland’s Ring Road in a small minibus with an English-speaking guide, staying five nights outside Reykjavik.

“On these trips the guide makes or breaks the trip in my opinion. Elli completely made this trip. He was full of knowledge and recommendations. He loves his job and that shines through and benefits all who go on a tour with him. We saw and experienced countless wonders in Iceland with the unforgettable trip. The glacier hike had to be one of our top expeditions though, and Edgar and Pare were both fabulous guides for that as well. This trip is absolutely worth it.”

“Hinrik was the best guide I ever could have asked for. I felt so safe with him the entire time while we were glacier hiking, hiking in a sand storm, driving in windy conditions, and much more. He was very communicative about everything. You could tell he loved his job and that safety was his top priority. Our boat tour of the lagoon got cancelled due to weather and the group was disappointed so Hinrik called to see if we could reschedule to the next day and made it happen! It was such a great experience so I'm glad he was able to do that for us. The itinerary was…”

10.Best of Iceland 6-Day Stopover Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 4 reviews · 6 days · from $1,393

Spend five nights in central Reykjavík, then see Þingvellir, Strokkur, and Gullfoss on a guided Golden Circle day. Add the Blue Lagoon, South Coast waterfalls, a Reykjavík food walk, or a Northern Lights hunt in season. English-speaking guides, breakfast, coach Wi-Fi, and hotel or nearby bus-stop pickup are included.

“Our guide Gunnar R. was funny, nice and interesting. The accomodation was sufficient. Nobody sent us the tour plan before we asked for it though since it was unclear to us. The downside is that we barely had time at the stops, we only had like 30-40 minutes, which is not enough for a big group of people to arrive at the destination, be able to enjoy it and be able to use the restroom (not to even mention grabbing a snack, drink or a smoke if someone smokes). For example, at the tomato farm we physically had to run and take our food and drinks as takeaway to make…”
