      Hey. It was €690pp. The jeep was manual. You can request auto but it isn’t guaranteed. I wanted auto thinking it would be easier but it didn’t make much difference since it’s a fairly flat country with such open roads so was an easy drive either way.

    I visited Iceland a few years ago, in February/March when the country was cloaked in snow. It was a small group tour and was one of the most amazing overseas holidays I have ever experienced. Thanks to Suitcase Monkey for this very entertaining video that included many of the locations I visited. I’d highly recommend Iceland as a travel destination, and add on a coastal cruise of Norway while you’re in that part of the world.

      They are only just launching their packages to English speaking countries so the English side of the site should be fully live on that date too.
      In the meantime you can change the language to French on the site above and let your browser auto translate everything as it has much more info at the moment as they’ve been operating there for years.
