What our clients have to say
Perfect introduction to Iceland!

Deluxe Iceland helped us put together a really special and memorable first trip to Iceland. We spent four days touring the Golden Circle and south coast with our awesome guide Unnar. He was fun, gentle, and a little bit silly in just the right combination for our nine-year-old daughter. My husband and I also really enjoyed speaking with him about his experience growing up in Iceland and hearing about his own love for exploring his country. We felt very taken care of; Unnar was constantly monitoring the weather and changing the order of our itinerary when necessary to help us dodge the rain and get clear views of the amazing sites. He also added in a few extra stops that weren’t on our itinerary and turned out to be especially memorable. We spent considerably more on this trip than we normally do, but we never felt like we were paying more than we should for the level of comfort and convenience provided by Deluxe Iceland. Highly recommend them and, especially, Unnar!
