Thank you for these great tips! Iceland is definitely on my list of must see countries, and it is handy to know that I can hire suitable cold weather gear, as I come from Australia, so our climate is very different to yours. ( Our summer temperatures average 30 to 40 degrees Celsius. Winter, where I live, is similar to your summer temps!) I would like to hear a little more about your favourite Reykjavik destinations as well as information on the ring road trip. The food tour that you promoted sounds excellent. Loved the video, such fun! 😊🇦🇺

My #1 tip is if you visit during the busy summer AND rent a car, stay at one of the more 'boring' hotels that have their own parking. If you stay at a smaller hotel in Reykjavik city center, the walk to your street (or public) parking is probably longer than the walk from a larger commercial hotel to the city center.

We just got back from our first trip to Iceland one day ago. I cannot speak more highly about wake up Reykjavík tours. We did two tours, the food tour and the golden circle with secret Lagoon. We enjoyed it very very much. Tours were very informative and very small groups. Both guides were well informed. I made a mistake while booking one of the tours. I didn’t realize it, not I double booked the tour. I called wake up Reykjavik, they fixed the problem, no issues whatsoever, took them a couple of minutes and sent me a confirmation email. Very very easy to work. They give very solid advice. One word of warning to pump gas in Iceland. You need a credit card with a four digit pin code. Never even saw any. Icelandic money until I passed a donation box at the airport on the way out. Credit cards are used everywhere.

We were in Iceland in May 2022 and absolutely loved it! I spent a lot of time watching videos like these to plan the best trip possible for my husband and I. We knew where the airport was so booked fly bus tickets as soon as we arrived and also for our return trip to the airport 9 days later. I learned from the videos about the best tours to pre-booked small group day tours for the Golden Circle including a volcano crater (I don't recall how to spell the name so will not butcher it by trying!), the South Coast Tour that included Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach, and also a Snaefelsnes Tour that included lunch on a horse ranch. They were all so amazing! Your country is so beautiful and the people are so friendly and helpful. Our hotel was on Rainbow street which was the perfect location. The videos also taught us about great places to eat, and what to eat, like lobster soup at SeaBaron, the Sandholt with their amazing bread, where to buy groceries, we personally loved Kronan, and we also learned about the Iceland Hand knitters Society and were to buy our lopapeysas (we are from Winnipeg Canada where it gets extremely cold). And importantly we learned what to pack for May weather and for the tours we were going to be going on, layers layers layers!!! Our trip was perfect!!! We are now planning a return trip!! Love love love Iceland!!

I arrived at 6 am in Keflavik. I was able to check into my hotel and met up with the group at 11:30 am at Harpa. It was a wonderful experience to get oriented in Reykjavik and met some wonderful people at the same time. Dagur was our food guide and fabulous. Kali and Gustov were our guides to Snaefellsnes and the south coast.

I had the pleasure of being stationed in Iceland for a year and a half (1993-1994). I spent most of my time in Keflavik, though. I was able to visit Reykjavik a few times. Saw the puffins. The "midnight sun". I remember we held the "all day fun run" during the winter... the event lasted an hour. The first thing they did when we landed in Keflavik was hand us a parka with a reflector in the shape of Iceland on the back. I still have the reflector. Kinda wish I could've kept the parka. I remember the wild, gale force winds in the winter that literally blew you along with it. I've heard the saying "if you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes... it'll change" in several areas, but Iceland is the only place I've lived where that saying is actually true. Gullfoss Falls was incredible, as well as the geysers. Also saw the Bessastaðir presidential residence and church. I was kinda sad when I left the island for the last time, but I was determined to come back and visit one day. Now, I'm looking into coming back. It's been too long.

I’m watching this video for the second time. This is very helpful. I am going to stay in Reykjavik 8-12 January next month. Because I’ve not got many days I will book a northern lights and golden circle tour. I wanted to do the south tour but just a shame I only have a few days.

From what all the people from Iceland say then you are within the right months. March seems to be the last good month before Summer. I’d recommend booking the cheapest hotel possible so you can spend more on trips. If you don’t drive then save some money for Golden Circle and South Coast tours.

Sounds very helpful, thank you! I just purchased a ticket for early October---my research shows that is still a reasonable time to visit. Is Uber a feasable mode of transportation?

Have family there but don't really know them that well. Planning on going there in the next year ...hopefully. Really just want to check out the island and see Akranas. The ring tour sounds great but the amount of driving sounds brutal.

My top tip for Iceland is bear in mind that everything is hideously expensive, but don’t expect either luxury or good customer service to go with this.

Hello! Thank you for your helpful tips! Where are the church + turf houses that appear on 6.12'? Is this location on one of the tours you recommend?

Hello there Natasha! The church is located at Glaumbær in Skagafjörður (in the North) so unfortunately not in any day tours that we have since the drive is a bit to much, but there are so many of these cute little churches all over Iceland!

I spent two weeks in Iceland last summer. Did an 8 day ring road tour with Troll Tours and loved it. I recommend at least a six day tour. All of these tips are top notch. Especially the tip on grocery shopping at Bonus to save money. Out on the ring road restaurant prices are crazy! I spent $50 US on a buffet for just me one night. So absolutely stock up at grocery stores. Also, while I didn't tour with Wake Up Reykjavik; I saw them during my time in Iceland and they are definitely a top notch group. My last tip is save some money and buy something nice at the hand-knitters association in Central Reykjavik. Hats are $40ish and a very nice sweater will be over $200 but it's so worth it!
