About this trip
This six-day minibus tour circles Iceland in winter, starting out from Reykjavík and taking you round the country's best-known landscapes.
Alongside the sights most visitors head for, the route also takes in some quieter, less-visited corners of the Icelandic countryside.
Travel is by minibus in a small group, which keeps things personal as you move around the country over the six days.
What you'll do
- Depart from Reykjavík to circle Iceland's landscapes
- Stop at some of Iceland's most visited natural sites
- Explore a few lesser-known corners of the countryside
- Travel together in a small group by minibus
- Runs in winter, so expect short daylight hours and weather-dependent conditions
- Small-group minibus format rather than a large coach tour
Worth it if you want diverse Icelandic landscapes and don't mind long driving days. Think twice if you need engaging guides, smooth logistics, or guaranteed activity access.
- Heavy driving with limited stops; one reviewer noted poor explanations and minimal guide engagement throughout.
- Tour operator logistics falter: advertised activities unavailable on your schedule, buses oversold, last-day driver swap caused missed COVID tests and flight rescheduling.
- Experienced guides handle Iceland's winter conditions safely; standout accommodation at farmhouses and Vik; glacier hike and ice cave tours genuinely excellent.
- December's short daylight hours limit sightseeing per day despite ambitious itineraries; flexibility when weather cancels plans is hit-or-miss.
