Overview

Short Description

This is an escorted tour. It’s perfect if you prefer not to do your own driving and want to see as many sights as you can during your vacation. 


Take a short jaunt to Iceland to see the capital city and countryside! Two nights in Reykjavik and two nights in South Iceland will provide ample time to explore the bustling city life and search for the elusive Northern Lights far away from any light pollution. During the day, you will explore the natural wonders and cultural gems of Southwest Iceland.

Adventure through frigid glaciers, rugged mountains, expansive lava fields, boiling hot springs, and majestic waterfalls. You will get to bathe in hot springs and the world-famous Blue Lagoon, walk on a black lava beach, visit idyllic villages, and find plenty of opportunities to snap the perfect vacation photos! Finally, you'll spend a few hours in the dark each night searching for the Northern Lights, learning how to spot and photograph them among other useful information.

Itinerary

Day 1 Welcome to Reykjavik!

Touch down in Iceland's capital city and board a transfer bus labeled "Flybus" to your hotel. Enjoy some leisure time to check out Reykjavik on your own before turning in for the night. 

Day 2 Reykjavik - Reykjanes Peninsula

Meet your guide at 9am to head into Reykjavik and tour the highlights of the city. After that, you'll head out to the Reykjanes Peninsula to enjoy the hot springs, mountains, bird cliffs, lighthouses, and fishing villages. Later, soak in the Blue Lagoon, then learn about the Northern Lights from your guide as the sun goes down. Once night has fallen, venture out to the garden to relax and watch for the lights.  

Day 3 South Iceland

Take off along the south coast toward the active volcano under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier. Visit the Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, then move on to the Skogar folk museums to learn about Iceland's past and its turf-built homes. Continue further south to walk on a black lava beach and see the bird cliffs of Reynisfjara. Take in a new presentation on the Nothern Lights tonight before your hunt for the Auroras this evening. 

Day 4 Golden Circle - Reykjavik

Start off the day by learning about Icelandic horses and make a visit to a geothermic greenhouse. After that, you'll travel the Golden Circle route, where you will find a selection of hot springs and bubbling pools as well as geysers and waterfalls. Next, you'll make your way to Thingvellir National Park before returning to Reykjavik for your final evening. Tonight, you have the option of joining a Northern Lights evening cruise if conditions are right. 

Day 5 Depart Iceland

After breakfast, you'll catch the Flybus shuttle back to the airport, then board your flight home!

Overall are experience was good. We really enjoyed Venice then Florence then Rome. The scheduled rail transportation was easy and convenient with our hotels closely located in Venice and Florence. We did not experience any issues with airfare either. Just note airfare will be overnight. If we were to offer any constructive criticism it would be our last hotel location in Rome (hotel Pineta Place). It was 30-45 minutes ( not including traffic) outside of central Rome rail station by Taxi ($40-$50 each way cost) where the hop off hop on city bus tours are located and 10 minutes away by vehicle to Bus lines (taxi $10). The hotel offered transportation to the bus lines but their schedule was limited and did not work around our tour times (early morning). We also learned airport taxi was to be another $100 one way. We ended up not staying at the outside hotel the last night in Rome because it cost too much to get back-and-forth with taxis to downtown and airport. The hotel was nice it was just the location. We actually scheduled another hotel downtown for our last night. I researched other central hotel locations and many were cheaper than where Pineta hotel was located outside of the city. Other than that location issue, the other city hotels were convenient, Although, we wish that us would’ve actually been in actual Venice island and not Mestre (outside Venice) to save on transportation costs. Florence location was perfect. Other city hotel locations locations were fine and not as big of an issue, when compared to Rome.

Hotels were far from city center/popular spots so it made it a hassle to travel between the hotel and attractions. We had one really nice hotel, but the other 2 hotels were closer to 3stars than 4star places. Our city walking tours were scheduled for our last day in the city which defeated the purpose.

Valued Opinion is asking govt id. and personal documents with eye scanning demographic data to share with them after 1 year I created account and as I urged that I cannot share this crucial data and it can easily be misused by a third party out of my country ,they blocked my account on which I had 1700 points left .

My suggestion to all that please keep in distance from this fraud survey entity who asks your personal national ids to continue survey account only.
