    Tour Details
    • GJ TravelOperatorWritten June 2023

      Unfortunately there is not time in the actual tour to do extra activities. However, it is very possible to book a pre or post night to be able to do the extra activities before or after the tour. The extra activity would not be booked through us but the pre or post night are. If you are interested in a pre or post night let me know since they are on request and I have to check the availability.

      Our children discount is for children between 8-11 years old. Since the child is 14 there is unfortunately no discount.

    Tour Details
    • GJ TravelOperatorWritten February 2022

      Regarding how to dress while on the tour I would recommend you to take a look at our travel tips. Regarding other meals that are not included on the tour people usually choose to have dinner at the hotel while staying outside of Reykjavik. While in Reykjavik you will have plenty of restaurants to choose from. For lunch, the guide will stop for lunch along the way at restaurants.
