About this trip
An 8 day minibus circuit around Iceland, starting in Reykjavík and taking in the country's best-known sights over the winter months.
The route mixes Iceland's most visited spots with a few quieter, lesser-known places, giving you a broad first look at the country in its winter light.
Travel is by small minibus, keeping the group size manageable as you move around the island.
What you'll do
- Begin in Reykjavík, Iceland's capital
- Travel around Iceland by minibus over 8 days
- See Iceland's most popular and best-known sites
- Stop at a few lesser-known spots off the main tourist path
- Experience Iceland's landscapes in winter conditions
- Winter travel means shorter daylight hours and weather-dependent driving
- Small minibus format keeps the group size limited
- Suited to travellers who want a broad overview of Iceland's highlights rather than an in-depth stay in one area
Worth it if you want a comprehensive Iceland overview with a solid guide and don't mind basic hotels or unpredictable winter weather. Think twice if you need luxury accommodation, flexible scheduling, or reliable refund policies.
- Guides consistently knowledgeable and personable; several reviewers specifically praised driver John and Palli for sharing genuine Icelandic insight.
- Eight days hits the sweet spot—covers black sand beaches, glaciers, ice caves, geysers, waterfalls, and Northern Lights without feeling rushed.
- Weather caused four cancelled or rushed days; partial refunds required chasing the company, unlike competitors who refund automatically.
- Bring £8 crampons from home; Icelandic ones cost £75 and ice-walking without them means slipping. Hotels are functional but small and basic.
