- JSJanet Seiko· May 20th, 20253 day tour included all the highlights of Iceland. Hotel Cabin was small for double occupancy but good location - supermarket nearby, easy walk to city center. Hotel Stracta was nicer but limited to eating at its restaurant. Saw northern lights only after taking photos of glistening skies, not by naked eyes. Iceland is expensive so prepare to pay $$$ for food and extras. Eric was great tour guide and GJ Travel provided excellent customer service.Show moreTrip date: September 2024

GJ Travel commented on this reviewThank you so much for this review. We are delighted to hear that you were happy with the tour! We hope to see you again in Iceland some day. All the best from Iceland, Team GJ TravelTrip date: February 2025 - Jen· February 2nd, 2025Overall, the tour was interesting and very good. Our guide Andy was great and let us know upfront about potential changes to plans due to weather, so managed expectations well. The tour is really 3 days with a night’s accommodation on either side, so not the 5 advertised. I’d recommend going for the hotel upgrade as the Hotel Cabin room was too small for two people with luggage, unless you’re not planning to open your bags! The Flybus is a very long-winded way of getting to and from the airport, so I’d pay up for a taxi which will do the trip in half the time, which is worth every cent when your typical departure flight from Iceland is early in the morning. Highlights of the trip were the Blue Lagoon, the waterfalls and of course the Northern Lights, which we were very grateful to see. We paid upfront for the optional glacier hike, which had to be cancelled due to bad weather, so I hope we’re refunded for that…Show moreGJ Travel commented on this reviewThank you so much for this review.

- Cara Kristine· November 26th, 2024We just returned from Nov 21-25 tour. Our guide Andri was excellent. He told us about his ancestors and history of his beloved country. He seems like in an industry that he really enjoys and it shows. The tour was at a good pace. You get enough time to take pictures and explore the sights. The only thing that I will change was the accommodation at Hotel Cabin. We got there at 9 am but the check in is at 3 pm. They didn’t give an option of checking in early so we explored the city on an hour sleep. Breakfast was okay. There is a food court closeby though called Borg29 mathöll and offers variety of delicious food. Technically speaking the tour is only 3 days long. The 2 days were your travel days to the airport. All in all, it was worth it.Show moreGJ Travel commented on this reviewThank you so much for this review. We are delighted to hear that you were happy with the tour!

Asked on January 27th, 2025I am interested in booking the 5 Days Land of Northern Lights trip for January 2026. I would also like to book two extra days after the tour, just for rest and relaxation and get a moment to tour the city unguided. I do not see an option on the website to include a hotel booking for staying on after the tour. Is it a possibility and is it something you can assist me with?
- GJ TravelOperator•Written January 2025
You can make the booking and then request the extra nights and I can add them manually to the booking. The price is 165 per night in a DBL room for the budget option and 209 EUR per night ofr the comfort opition. Let me know if you have any other questions!

They will present their vouchers at the Flybus counter at the arrival hall, and they will direct you to the bus outside. If they ever have any questions regarding the transfer, the Flybus staff will be there ready with answers.
