What people are saying about Reykjavik

I loved this small group tour. Every seat was taken but it was not overcrowded. It was nice chatting with the driver and other travelers. Our guide took us to a perfect spot and within a few minutes the northern lights made their appearance. He helped us make sure we all had great pictures and then gave us a snack and hot chocolate. It was a great night making memories.

Blue lagoon is a must-go. Even though crowded, experience is the one you are searching for (eg. Masking, drinking with pool bar, chilling with blue-colored hot spring). We liked it & would come back if we visited Iceland next time.

Excellent. Blue lagoon well worth trip. Bus driver was also fantastic! Gardrune (I can’t spell it - tour bus 5 on 17th of Feb!) you are brilliant.

The tour was everything I expected and more ...well worth it!

Great small group trip Knowledgeable guide and less crowded locations made it an unforgettable experience

Top experience, appreciated the mask. No need to get the premium, very good with Conform pack.
