Tony gave us a lot of fun facts along the way and was entertaining. He was a very sensible guide, was thoughtful to pre discuss our lunch options and inform us of how our restroom stops would work. Our group was just 16 people, the mini van was clean and comfortable. The sights were gorgeous, just incredible. Wish we had about 5/10 mins more at some of the sites as photo opps took time as there are other…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 169 reviews · 8 days (approx.) · from $3,327

Join Troll Expeditions for eight days around Iceland with a group capped at 18. You’ll visit the Golden Circle, hike a glacier, enter a Katla ice cave, cruise Jokulsarlon, watch whales at Hauganes, and finish on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Guides such as Thor and Henrik lead the route.

“The eight days we spent with our guide Thor were incredibly enjoyable. All the arrangements were well-organised, and he did a great job of letting us know when we'd have time to rest and eat during the long drives. Thanks to his explanations, we were also able to better understand Iceland's culture and nature. Because of him, we're leaving Iceland with nothing but happy memories. As a solo traveler not used to driving, I looked into several tours before deciding. Troll's tour was a great choice, with well-prepared vehicles and itineraries. If you're a solo traveler and find driving in Iceland's unpredictable weather challenging, I highly recommend this tour.”
