This was my second visit to Iceland. My first I went solo and had a great time. The country is beautiful and very safe. The people are very friendly and gorgeous. I did the all out touristy thing. I filled all of my time with a tour or an excursion. The Golden Circle Tour is a must as well as the Blue Lagoon experience. I also had a massage that was the best I have ever had and get this......no tipping. My second visit was with my high school buddy. I took him for a late birthday gift. ...

was ok. An experience not to be missed, but unless you are a hiker, once is probably enough. We arrived in early August 2007 on a Sunday, and left Tuesday afternoon. Monday was a bank holiday, so almost everything was closed. We took a very nice tour, but we were shoulder-to-shoulder in the bus. The tour stopped at several tourist-trap shops. The scenery was spectacular in its ruggedness. The prices were outrageously high. The Blue Lagoon was worth the whole trip. A place not to miss, a ... Read Full Review | Report This
