    Itinerary

    Day 1 Welcome to Reykjavik!

    Welcome to Iceland! Upon arrival at Reykjavik/Keflavik Airport, you’ll take a Flybus transfer to your hotel in Reykjavik. (The transfer coaches are parked outside the arrival hall, and are marked “Flybus”). The remainder of the day is yours at leisure, to begin exploring this vibrant city!

    This evening, you’ll be picked up at your hotel for the Northern Lights tour. Watching the fantastic colors of the Northern Lights dance across the arctic sky is an unforgettable experience, and Iceland is one of the best places to see them. They are mostly observed on crisp, still evenings, and the tour heads away from the city lights to give you the best chance of witnessing this spectacular natural phenomenon.

    Please note: this tour is only operated under good weather conditions – so if it is canceled, or if you are not able to view the Northern Lights while on the tour, you can re-book again for the following evening (or the next), without any extra charge.

    Day 2 Reykjavik

    After breakfast, you’ll embark on a full-day, guided tour of Iceland’s most incredible “must-see” natural wonders and geological phenomena – the famed Golden Circle. 

    Day 3 Reykjavik

    Enjoy a full free day at leisure. Although the city of Reykjavík is a metropolis in every sense, it's been carefully developed and crafted around a number of easily accessible recreational areas and country parks. With an extensive network of well-maintained footpaths and cycling routes winding through the city’s numerous parks and nature reserves, you won’t have to travel far to take a quick break from city life and explore nature. 

    Don't forget to stop by the famous church; consider climbing up to the top for sweeping views of the city below!

    Day 4 Reykjavik

    Spend today exploring Reykjavik at leisure. Explore the culture house or one of the many art museums. Or perhaps you'd like to stroll through the colorful streets and shop the boutiques.

    Please note: At some point today, please ask the hotel staff for assistance with confirming your Flybus Plus transfer to the airport tomorrow.

    Day 5 Depart Iceland

    If your flight is in the afternoon, use your last moments to walk along the harbor seafront and breathe the fresh Atlantic breeze. Based on your pre-arranged time, you will be met by Flybus at your hotel, and transferred to the airport for 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.

    The places we were booked into each night were charming and comfortable. We ended up in hotels, guesthouses, cabins, and on a working farm. All were excellent!
