I want to make sure I see the most scenic HIGHLIGHTS of ICELAND. I can share with another guest of your own choice. Allowed? Possible?

We would not be able to pair you with someone. If you are unable to find a travel partner and wish to travel solo you would need to pay the single supplement fee.

We are looking at booking this trip for my parents who are 76 & 80 years old. My mother wonders if it's a lot of hiking up & down hills or if the outings would have easier terrain to get out of the van, take a little walk and enjoy the sights.

Many of our tours incorporate walking tours in interesting locations; these are leisurely paced guided walks.

What are the specific requirements regarding COVID vaccination and any testing?

This is an outdoor type of tour with a lot of walking and hiking over rough terrain. There is one section that you have to hike a bit down to the waterfall.

I would have given 5 stars but disappointed that NO BACKPACK received prior to the trip and after asking the Tour Director many times it turned up on the very last day. However it was missing the map and information on Iceland. I would like that information and have requested it from the Ireland branch of CIE and to date have not received any acknowledgement of my request. Extremely disappointed especially as the 38 American tourists had all received their backpacks and all information prior to leaving the States. Living in Australia as I do should not present a problem. This was my second trip with CIE and had no problems with the first trip. Iceland was an excellent trip but spoilt by lack of attention to detail.Show more
