Great tour with a great guide
Our guide Arnie was marvellous. He was a great safe driver and really knowledgeable. He was a fun guide and loved the Icelandic music which reflected the spectacular landscape. He was well organised and could not wish for a better time.

A full lap around Iceland
Great communication with the tour company.... hotels that are modest but comfortable... add-on options that produced lifelong memories.... a tour group that was neither too big nor too small .... and the feeling that I saw Iceland in sufficient depth and only have to take one week off from work. Thanks for everything!

Lots of variety
Enjoyable trip. You see a lot without the worry of driving it yourself. Guide was excellent. I think it is definitely worth it to get out of the Golden Circle and see the rest of Iceland.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Carrie! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and that your guide helped make it a memorable experience. Thanks for choosing to explore beyond the Golden Circle with us—we hope to welcome you back to Iceland again soon!

Fabulous landscapes
Iceland has such a diverse and dramatic landscape and I felt this tour covered so much in such a short time yet never felt rushed. Our tour guide kept us entertained with history and folklore and even added a few extra stops on our last day. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see Iceland on a tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review and recommendation. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed Iceland’s diverse and dramatic landscapes and that the tour allowed you to experience so much of the country without ever feeling rushed. It's also great to know that your guide, Heimir, kept you entertained with stories, Icelandic history and folklore, and that the extra stops he added along the way helped make your journey even more memorable. Thank you for travelling with us. We hope to welcome you back to Iceland again in the future. Kind regards, The Snæland Travel Team

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5-Day Small Group Journey Around Iceland: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does 5-Day Small Group Journey Around Iceland cost?
+
Prices start at $1,558 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 5-Day Small Group Journey Around Iceland take?
+
Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.
Is 5-Day Small Group Journey Around Iceland worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5-Day Small Group Journey Around Iceland?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 5-Day Small Group Journey Around Iceland suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 5-Day Small Group Journey Around Iceland?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5-Day Small Group Journey Around Iceland start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?
+
On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Reykjavik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 5-Day Small Group Journey Around Iceland?

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1 listed pickup location in and around Reykjavik. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
What languages is 5-Day Small Group Journey Around Iceland offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
