Iceland Vacation Review: Reykjavik, Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, Sky Lagoon, Private Guides

Our family of five had an amazing nine-day trip to Iceland over Christmas. We were based mostly in Reykjavik, taking walking tours through the city with local guides and small group tours to hunt for the Northern Lights and explore the Golden Circle and a lava tunnel.

We met with a private guide who drove us to Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon and a blue ice cave, plus many scenic waterfalls and beaches along the southern coast. These tours were fantastic and the two hotels we stayed at were a great fit for our family. We spent Christmas Day at the Sky Lagoon; definitely a great day!

We were very fortunate to find our tour operator through Zicasso. Our trip was planned by a very friendly and professional travel agent. She helped us figure out the best itinerary for our family. She helped us balance all the activities we wanted to do, while still having some downtime. We had a couple of last-minute travel complications, including flight delays and the Blue Lagoon closing, then reopening, then closing again due to the volcanic eruption. She was very accommodating and quick to reschedule various activities.

All tours were prepaid, pre-ticketed, and easy to find. Our travel team did all the hard work and prepared everything in advance, which made the trip very easy and uncomplicated. We definitely recommend them and may call them again to see Iceland in the summertime!
