Overall, it is still worth the experience once in a lifetime
BeeHong_O, Jan 2023
The most memorable part has to be the 3-hr Glacier Hike even though it was not easy. A bit disappointed with the ice cave as it was smaller than expected; wasted the journey to the North as there was nothing much to see esp after the whale-watching was cancelled (& refunded). I was also disappointed that we didnt get to see the Londrangar Basalt Cliffs even though it is in the itinerary. However I must say David is a good guide, we had some "accidents" but he remains calm and upbeat. Maybe this shortcomings migt bring me back to Iceland in summer !
Amazing Troll tour of Iceland with Thales!
Joseph_S, Nov 2022
We couldn't speak more highly of the 8-day Iceland adventure we just experienced, and our tour guide, Thales, was a big part of it. He took us to all the well-known spots (Golden Circle, South Coast, etc) but also bonus sites when time permitted that really gave the trip a personal touch. Would highly recommend this tour.
Awesome experience!
Lira_V, Oct 2022
It was the best experience of Iceland we had. We couldn’t ask for a better tour guide, Johann is hands down the best tour guide there is. We saw Northern lights, tour the most scenic falls, caves, lagoon, hot springs, glacier, light house to name a few. I highly recommend this tour to anyone planning to visit Iceland, Troll expeditions did a good job.
Around Iceland
SHULAN_C, Sep 2022
The winter tour around Iceland with our tour guide, Gylfi, is an amazing and unforgettable experience. He is experienced, knowledgeable and very helpful. It is a well organized and action packed tour. Met some great people on the tour and seen some of the most beautiful sites. From daily activities to rest stops and lodgings, they were all well planned out by Troll. Truly enjoyed it and thank you!
Epic. Must do.
Cami_S, Sep 2022
This is a FANTASTIC tour. You will see volcano craters, waterfalls, lava fields, Northern Lights (Sept-March),, mountains, Game of Thrones film sites, geysers, boiling sulfur pots, horseback riding, continental divide, whale watching, ice caves, glacier climbing, seal and puffin watching, and the list goes on and on. Every day you will wake up and get on the bus and not believe what this beautiful country offers. You do need to be pretty fit to take this tour. You will walk 2-4 miles daily if you want to see all the waterfalls, photo stops, etc. There are steep slopes with no stairs or hand rails at several of the stops. But you can stay on the bus or at a convenience store if you want to sit out. The guides will accommodate you. Bring over the ankle boots for the glacier climb, or you will have to rent them. We went in Sept and saw Northern Lights most nights. Bring a hat, gloves, and scarf. Dress in layers. A waterproof coat is a must. You will eat at convenience stores a lot where the choices are burgers, hot dogs, and fish and chips, but you can buy fruit and groceries in most stops as well. You are in a different hotel every night except the last two nights where you stay in the same hotel. Bring a chamois towel to dry off after waterfalls and the Vok baths. The bus has wifi and a USB charging port. The schedule most days is 8-5. Breakfast is included and was wonderful at all the hotels. A few of the hotels had a lot of stairs. You will be carrying bags up two flights of stairs. Pack light-small carry on and a backpack, because you will be carrying it on and off the bus with you daily. The guides are terrific and go out of their way to really welcome you and make sure you are enjoying the tour. Highly recommend. Life changing.
Nice experience

Really nice experience, well organized, clean bus , nice hotel with good breakfasts, really enjoy my trip, David our driver and guide was really good
Simplemente... espectacular.
LuisFernando_L, Nov 2022
Este fue el mejor tour que pudimos haber tomado para darle la vuelta a Islandia en 8 días. Todo excelente, empezando pir la gran atención y disposición de Gustaf, nuestro increíble guía. Conocimos lugares espectaculares a bordo de un cómodo minibus y nos alojamos en todo tipo de hoteles de acuerdo a la oferta del lugar en donde estábamos. No importa todo lo que hayamos caminado con tal de conocer el país. Lo recomiendo AMPLIAMENTE.
