Reviews of Small Group tours to Iceland
- 10 day Guided tour | Iceland Complete - Small Group
Very nice tour of the island. Accommodations were simple but clean. Food was good, country is beautiful.
- Best of Iceland
The tour was fantastic! Perfectly scheduled and very professional guide! I think I wouldn't have seen so many places and wouldn't have learned so many things if I had travelled on my own. Many thanks to G Adventures
- Iceland Northern Lights & Golden Circle
Great country to visit. So many surprises (from city wide fireworks on New Years Eve to really good cooking by our guide). The mixture of volcanoes, glaciers, & waterfalls were stunning to see. The long January nights worked for us to see the Aurora Borealis. You get a little bit of Yellowstone National Park, a little bit of the Galapagos geology, a little bit of gale force winds, & a lot of cold weather. Dress appropriately. We had a great guide, who really loved her country & tried to show us as much as possible. We will treasure this memory for the rest of our life.
