Travel Iceland’s Ring Road in a minibus of no more than 19 people, with Reykjavik pickup, hotels, breakfast, Wi-Fi, and English-speaking driver-guides.

Guides such as Thorey add local character to the long driving days.

“The 19 seater van was too small for this tour. It was more crammed than airline basic economy, with very little leg room and little space for our day bags. One of the 3 tour guides should talk less. She should not share her personal stories. Stick to tour related material. Acureyri hotel room was too small, no table space, no bag space, poorly lit, no closet, no safe, bathroom too small. Other than the above the tour was very enjoyable.”

8.7 Day Iceland with Reykjavik Northern Light | Blue Lagoon | Golden Circle ……

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5 reviews · 7 days (approx.) · from $3,685

Spend seven days exploring Iceland from Reykjavik, with six hotel nights, breakfasts, coach transfers, a 24-hour city bus, Northern Lights hunting, the Golden Circle, Snæfellsnes, South Coast waterfalls, and Blue Lagoon entry. The plan suits you if you want major sights arranged for you, though hotel quality and daily road conditions can vary.

“Overall, was a great itinerary. Viator uses Arago Travel agency out of India. Some good, some not so good aspects. Pro’s: itinerary, responsiveness and re-bookings when needed, they tracked all issues and changes and adjusted quickly. Con’s: hotel chosen. Was one of 3 FossHotels in area and were put in the oldest and cheapest facility. We weren’t there much of course, but property was very bare bones. For example, if you pointed your elbows out on either side of you, the shower wasn’t big enough to accommodate. Very cramped and noisy, every sound could be heard through walls. Not one good night sleep.”
