9.3 Day Family Package

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 37 reviews · 3 days · from $341Best value

Spend three full days exploring Iceland from Reykjavik with English-speaking guides and coach transport. See Strokkur, Gullfoss, Þingvellir, Skógafoss, Reynisfjara, and Snæfellsnes. Guides such as Sara, Heiti, Teena, Alain, and Thor have helped make these long sightseeing days memorable.

“The three-day trip was good, but on the third day (28/09/2025), the guide named David, especially, was so unprofessional and disrespectful towards people on the bus. He targeted some people and was saying many things that were not needed. His English accent was not understandable, and sometimes we could not understand the context at all. Also, he was not mentioning the exact time during some of the intervals, and this made many people confused. Overall, the third day was boring and not enjoyable due to these issues. Apart from that, it was a great experience for the first two days, and the time management and choice of places were excellent.…”
