Update March 28, 2025: We are not planning any additional Iceland trips for summer 2025. Reach out if you’re traveling after August 22, 2025, of if you’re interested in our VIP tour guide service!
It’s also not too early to plan your fall 2025 trip, spring or summer 2026, or your 2026 Iceland eclipse trip!
We’d love to help you plan the perfect Iceland vacation! We’ll create a custom itinerary just for you– no 2 trips are ever the same! We’ll create a highly detailed and thoroughly customized itinerary that you’ll love. We’ll handle your:
Iceland Accommodations Planning
Do you want to stay in hotels with free breakfast? Or maybe quaint guesthouses in remote areas? Or an Airbnb so your whole group can be together? (We love planning family and multi-generational trips to Iceland!) We’ll recommend a specific lodging option for every night of your trip. And we never pick the place based on a commission– our only goal is to give you the best option possible.
Thanks to your expert planning, resources and guidance we had the best trip of our lives!

Iceland itinerary planning
Most of our clients rent cars and drive around Iceland. (Our comprehensive Driving in Iceland video course is included with your itinerary planning!) We’ll provide you with a detailed Golden Circle self-drive tour, and a South Coast tour, and tours for any other area you visit. It’s all included!
We will also recommend guided tours if we think it makes sense. Want to take a boat ride in a glacier lagoon? See puffins on a remote cape? Hike up a glacier? Go inside a volcano? We’ll recommend our favorite options for your group. Many of the tours we recommend are small group tours that big travel agents just don’t bother with.
If you’re headed on a trip to Iceland, I can’t recommend Eric enough. I’ve always planned my own trips, and I was hesitant to pay someone for something I’ve always done. However, every single dollar was worth it.

Iceland dining and food planning
We’ll also give you recommendations for where to eat. Sometimes that’s a restaurant. And sometimes, that may be to go to a supermarket before getting in a ferry. Or to buy food to cook in your rental house that night. I’ll talk to you to figure out how often you want to eat in restaurants, and work out a custom plan based on what you’re looking for. Yes, I’ll even let you know the hours of the grocery store I recommend!
Such a no brainer to hire Eric. He is immensely knowledgeable, shares his knowledge and will run down odd questions and requests.
Itinerary Planning Client Review
The most detailed Iceland plan anywhere
Your itinerary will really have it all. We’ll list grocery stores to stop at before you head into more remote areas of Iceland. We’ll list the gas station you should stop at before returning your rental car at the airport. We’ll plan a tour of Reykjavik based on where you’re staying and what you want to do. Want to do a Viking-themed portrait session with your group? Or head to the weekend flea market? We’ll schedule it … if you’ll be there on a weekend, of course!
