Iceland certainly knows how to leverage the wow-factor. A beautiful country, experienced with a great leader on a cup-filling itinerary. Mother nature at her best. This was the perfect trip to kick-off my extended time-off.

We had the most incredible immersive experience in Iceland with Intrepid. Aside from the stunning and unique vistas around every corner, our exceptional guide Gisli treated us to wonderful lessons in culture, zoology, botany, history, politics and many captivating ‘sagas’. Thank you Gisli - you turned this trip into a precious lifetime memory for us all.

"Premium Iceland" small group guided tour was all it advertised and more. The extra kroner are worth it if you want to maximise your Icelandic experience. You will experience more than selfdrive and avoid the morning breakfast room hassle of a big bus. Our guide, Margret ensured we had a great time.

Intrepid’s 9-day Icelandic trip lived up to expectations! Led by our local guide Larus, we got to experience many of the wonders of this fascinating island including a stunning boat trip amongst icebergs. A dip in the Blue Lagoon capped off a memorable holiday!
07/29/2023
Wonderful trip to explore all of Iceland without having to worry about anything!!! Larus is an amazing guide! Make sure to spend a couple days before or after the trip In Reykjavik!

This was an amazing trip. The natural environment and natural phenomena is amazing and a once in a lifetime must see. The trip takes in a huge amount of this very beautiful country lead by a thirty first generation Icelander with an enormous amount of knowledge about Iceland.

This trip was incredible! We covered some of the most breathtaking scenery and had a fantastic guide named Jura. I highly recommend this tour to others.

The premium trip is the way to go to dive into Iceland. The further one travels beyond Reykjavik, the more exciting the sites and walks are. Each day was memorable and the food generally top notch.
06/13/2023
Iceland has fantastic natural scenery and every day was something different and spectacular. Excellent engaging tour guide. There is significant time spent travelling in the minivan however did not seam that much with frequent stops. Certainly recommend
06/02/2023
Amazing experience in Iceland! Excellent all round!

This trips is a good way to see the whole of Iceland. You do cover a lot of Iceland’s wonderful nature via ring route. The included food is posh and delicious. The accommodations were decent. I would recommend this trip to anyone who would like to discover Iceland fully in a short span of time. Bear in mind you don’t get to spend a lot of time in every attraction as there is a lot to see also if you are a young traveller and like a lot of physical activities on a trip there isn’t any on this and there won’t be any time to cover them on a free time. Highlight was seeing icebergs up close and blue lagoon.

Very disappointed trip, transport was not fit for purpose, especially travelling 5 hours a day. It was meant to be a premium trip and we did not get any value for the higher premium paid. The rented van we travelled in was old and cramped not for 12 people. It was unbearable as the suspension was extremely poor on bad surface. One of the rear seats was on top of the wheel arch and had no leg room. I had cramp sitting there. The airport transfer used the same vehicle and only have 7 seats. Could not hear the guide as her audio system was not working properly. A very bad experience indeed.

If you want to get to know the places you visit, this is not the tour for you. If you want to really enjoy and experience locations, this is not for you. You see the whole island, but it’s busy, rushed and exhausting
09/13/2022
We expected much and our expectations were exceeded. It's a virtual guarantee that circling this magical and stunningly beautiful country will be among your most memorable trips ever. Varied and interesting itinerary, fun and professional guide, modern and safe transport, small group of 12 like-minded travelers, comfortable lodging and good eating. All good!

I can highly recommend the premium tour of Iceland. Well worth the money with all its inclusions. A very beautiful country. Well Organised, great itinerary , fabulous hotels , fabulous food. Our guide was amazing. Very comfortable tour. Iceland is a fabulous place to visit and would certainly love to return one day. If I have one complaint is the admin staff are slow to respond to phone calls, live chat never happened emails etc at times pre trip -frustrating but once there the trip was well worth it.
07/05/2023
It was a wonderful tour, led by an experienced guide who was very knowledgeable about the physical environment, the culture, and the history. The sights of Iceland are fabulous and we could not have been happier (apart from the weather but we knew that in advance). An earlier reviewer complained about the bus, but we had a very new and comfortable Mercedes with spare capacity.

For a long time I had wanted to visit Iceland to experience the landscapes wildness, my dream came through with intrepid tour around the country showing all the different geological landscapes . From day one it was a satisfaction for me which repeat day after day.I could not have asked for more and would talk for a very long time of my wonderful trip in a country of such contrasts.

What an amazing trip. Our guide Larus was fantastic, very knowledgeable and passionate about his country. He was a great communicator and I felt our small group bonded well and he ensured we all knew exactly what was happening at anyone time.

First time travelling with a tour group and with Intrepid. The tour of Iceland was small numbers, informative, friendly, and totally enjoyable. I was extremely happy to have done Iceland with Intrepid.

Amazing trip! Fridjon was a fabulous guide who is extremely knowledgeable and made the trip fun. This was my first solo trip and I felt safe and included at all times. I look forward to my next trip already!

Iceland is quite spectacular & definitely worth seeing and this tour seemed to cover all the sights. Fridjon was a great guide who loved showing us his country, was friendly, helpful & had a great sense of humour. Accommodation & food were also very good.
