8 - Día Islandia Ring Road Tour : Reykjavik, Akureyri, Golden Circle & Costa Sur

A fantastic, very concise, very enjoyable tour. Ronan, our tour guide made this a truly exceptional vacation. The small group of 18 participants gave us the flexibility to move quickly between locations, and access to places large tour busses could not go. Every day we covered may beautiful and remote locations. Ronan's detailed knowledge of the entire island was extensive, his local folklore and insights created an unforgettable experience well worth requesting his leadership when we hopefully return next year to visit the West Fjords. I highly recommend Ronan and ArcticAdventures.

Horrendous - canceled day before the tour

Could not have asked for anything better, our driver/guide jói was GREAT...organized, funny, informative....wonderful to experience Iceland while listening to his stories (and music). We packed in full days, but jói made time for a few surprise stops. Would not have been the same trip without him. BIG big THANKS.

Our son’s high school graduation gift from us. We had a ball! Each day was an adventure, often traveling to a new location, hiking, eating, and admiring this beautiful country. Lili was our guide and her passion for and knowledge of Iceland was energizing and melded our diverse group quickly. Truly a fun trip I’d love to do again. I’ve never done a tour like this, and now would do another without hesitation. Friendly, thoughtful, educational but not stuffy, and enjoyable.

I did 8 day tour. Booking was not clear emailed and called comparing 8 versus 7 day and was never explained that was a 6 day tour and 2 one day tour. 6 day portion we t great with great guide, enjoyed sights and all but last hotel nice. 7th day snaefellsnes peninsula disaster. Guide driver awful, skipped stops one stop for seals only 10 minutes total when takes 10 minutes just to walk to beach. Drivers not expecting me 7 and 8 day as continuation so confusion with hotel and luggage. 8th day guide good and enjoyed highlands.

This was a remarkable experience especially with our guide Tom! So much to learn and see!

We are the group of ten ladies. We had the pleasure of being shown around Iceland by this incredible guide, Ronan, and I honestly can't say enough good things about him. From the very start, it was clear that he genuinely loves what he does — his passion for guiding shines through in every moment of the tour. Throughout our journey, he generously shared so many of his own personal adventures and stories from exploring Iceland, which made the experience feel so much more authentic and personal. He didn't just stick to the basics either — he always took things a step further, giving us in-depth explanations about the volcanoes and lava formations we encountered. His knowledge of Iceland's geology was fascinating, and he had a real gift for making complex things easy and exciting to understand. One of my favorite parts was when he shared the magical folklore of Iceland with us — the tales of trolls and elves that are woven into the country's culture. The absolute highlight was when we made offerings to the elves: he helped us carefully pick out exotic foreign sweets that he said the elves would love most. It was such a fun, whimsical, and memorable experience that I'll never forget. Honestly, he is the best tour guide I have ever had — kind, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and full of charm. Next time I visit Iceland, I will absolutely be booking him again. If you're looking for a guide who will make your trip truly unforgettable, look no further!

We truly needed to get away, a REAL VACATION. Oh Boy, did we fall into the right hands!!! John was our guide during the 8 day Ring Tour of Iceland and he was Fantastic. It was immediately apparent that he was in it to please his passengers. We let go and let John and had a FANTASTIC trip. John has adopted Iceland as his home and he shares that love and knowledge with you. He is a geographer so we got a great insight into the land of fire and ice. You can read all about the awesome landscape and the places we went and great activities we did from other reviews but you need to request John as your guide if you want THE BEST VACATION! He aims to please and he takes care of every need that arises from the passengers such that we were truly able to enjoy the trip with no mundane concerns getting in the way. If we decide to go for the Northern Lights to Iceland we will only reserve it if John is our guide.

My husband and I went on a 8 day trip in Iceland with Arctic Adventures. We had an amazing experience touring Iceland with Bjorne. His knowledge of the country’s history, geology, and culture was outstanding, and he shared everything with genuine enthusiasm and professionalism. What made the tour extra special was that he took us to several beautiful places not included on the original itinerary — some of our favourite memories from the trip! Some were the waterfalls, Glacier hike, Ice Caves and the Whale watching. Bjorne truly went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. We highly recommend him as a tour guide.

My friends and I enjoyed out trip immensely. I cannot thank Vignir enough for his care - he did his best to give us the best experience while keeping us safe. He was always mindful to ensure we were comfortable and was always obliging when one of us on the tour wanted to do something extra - like play in the snowbank - or needed an urgent toilet break. By a stroke of luck, we managed to see the dancing aurora which made our trip - it bonded all of us on the bus immediately because we were so happy and you could see Vignir was happy for us. He always tried to show Iceland at its best even when he told us stories about the hard life Icelanders had in the past. You could tell he wanted to ensure we had the best time on this trip.
