Reviews of Small Group tours to Iceland
- Iceland Northern Lights & Golden Circle
Tour was great! Being able to bond with the other people on your made this trip a beautiful experience. Francois is a great guide who is patient and has a great sense of humor. He is a great chef!
- Iceland's Golden Circle in Depth (11 destinations)
Paulina was a great guide and we had a wonderful experience!
- Iceland Discovery
Iceland was all I imagined it to be - and more! The tour was operated by funtravel.is. Our guide took us to all the touristy places but also made sure to show us lots of hidden gems. On most days we had lots of time to explore, although some days felt a bit rushed. We stayed in guesthouses and on farms (www.farmholidays.is) - mostly in the middle of nowhere. Expect shared bathrooms.
