About this trip
Seven days in Iceland built around two of its best-known sights, the Golden Circle and the Blue Lagoon, with time built in to actually relax rather than rush between stops.
It's a partially guided trip pitched as easy-going and family-friendly, run over the Christmas and New Year period, so you get some structured days and some time to explore on your own terms.
Expect a straightforward mix of sightseeing and downtime rather than a packed adventure itinerary.
What you'll do
- Tour the Golden Circle
- Soak in the geothermal waters of the Blue Lagoon
- Watch for the Northern Lights on clear nights
- Travel with a small group with some time to explore independently

- Hotel booking issues: one guest paid premium for upgrade, received construction noise daily, company denied knowledge then refused compensation.

- FlyBus transport and Reykjavik Excursions logistics praised as efficient; responsive customer service confirms enquiries quickly.
