A fast-moving three-day Iceland tour from Reykjavik covering the Golden Circle, waterfalls, black beaches, glaciers, and Jökulsárlón.
“I had an amazing trip led by Phillip and Lori. Their knowledge of Iceland was impressive, and the 3-day itinerary was perfectly planned. Not only did we visit all the main attractions, but they also surprised us with stops at hidden gems along the way. There were plenty of breaks for food and rest, and the accommodations were ideally located with excellent facilities. Their food recommendations were spot on as well. I never imagined I could see and experience so much in just three days on my own. Huge thanks to both of them—highly recommended!”

“A delightful 3 days getting to experience Iceland--everything from visiting the place where Iceland sits atop two tectonic plates to breath-taking waterfalls, The Black Sand Beach, glacier lagoon and ice caves.

See Iceland’s Golden Circle, waterfalls, black-sand beaches, glaciers, and a blue ice cave on a well-organized 3-day small-group tour.
“3 Day Tour made up of 1 Day Golden Circle Tour combined with 2 Day South Coast Tour. Overall good tour. 2nd leg of 2 Day tour led by Kooly Jonsson (not sure about the spelling) was excellent. Friendly, professional, did not rush the group at each site, although he requested everyone to keep to the time. Gave clear introductions to each site and instructions on time and where to meet. No one got lost. Everyone had more than enough time. We saw every sight listed, and maybe a bit more. Close to the end, some ran out of stamina and didn't want to get down for some quick sightseeing…”
A three-day Iceland adventure from Reykjavik to the Golden Circle, Glacier Lagoon, natural ice caves, waterfalls, and a guided glacier hike.
“This was my first time traveling with a tour group! The experience was fantastic! Our guide, Soli, is a humorous Icelander with a deep understanding of film. He could tell you everything we saw, not just the tourist attractions, but also everything we saw outside the window along the way. Our group consisted of six people. We were each assigned a large, clean room with a view of the mountains – a perfect spot for stargazing. The weather was sunny for all three days, making the itinerary very smooth, and we had ample time to explore each attraction (Soli kept an eye on our safety, not always on the bus).…”

“great guide, interesting terrain and a wow moment witnessing the natural environments of Iceland. highly recomend .”
Three days from Reykjavik cover Iceland’s Golden Circle, South Coast, and Snaefellsnes, with family-friendly pacing and English guides.
“We saw a huge variety of things that we could not have seen on our own with knowable guides and great drivers. Jessica and Michal, Edu and Simon, Alain and Thor. Coaches were generally spacious and clean. (Day 2 coach had suspension too soft at the front). Not quite enough commentary from Edu a little too continuous from Alain although we loved his singing! That were both excellent though. We loved the fact that Alain and Thor were so willing to stop so we could see the northern lights on the way home despite the record levels of snow in Reykjavík.”
A private three-day Iceland tour with Luke combines secret spots, waterfalls, volcanoes, Golden Circle sights, photography, and northern lights potential.
“WOW!! We had an amazing adventure of a lifetime with Luke! This was our first time in Iceland and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Three days with Luke was absolutely magical. We explored waterfalls, glaciers, and beautiful lava formations. From the moment he picked us up at the hotel, he was relaxed, easy to talk to, and felt like family. Luke went above and beyond each day to make sure we had the best experience and he made it look effortless. Not only did he take us to the must see sights, but he also showed us areas that we would have never done on our own;…”
Hike Iceland’s colorful Highlands over three days, with mountain huts, all trek meals, volcano views, and a small group capped at 16.
“Absolute highlight of our holiday! 3 days in one of the most stunning places on earth. We were promptly picked up from Reykjavik and once at Landmannalaugar, our guide Throstur introduced himself and settled us into the hut (which is clean and cosy -definitely bring good ear plugs). Throstur was the best guide, helpful and friendly and engaging. He gave us plenty of information on what to expect for each hike, therefore making it easy for us to decide what to wear and bring. On the hikes we had plenty of rest stops and opportunities to take photos. We had a fantastic little group, everyone was friendly and mucked in…”

“One of the best travel experiences in my life. There is no better way to experience the grandeur and sheer wonder of the untamed Westfjords. I had the greatest pleasure to take the tour with David, whose adventurous and nature-loving soul made the perfect expert guide for a tour like this. The tour was well paced, rich in stimulating and extraordinary activities and sights, and with plenty of opportunities to do my own little exploration in the evenings too. There is literally no better way to experience the Westfjords, I’m sure I’ll be back!”
