    We were there in April 2023. We finished seeing the South coast. We loved Iceland so much that we booked another trip to be there during the Christmas week to see the North coast this time. Hoping to see the Northern lights. It would be great to see more videos about visiting the North side in December and maybe seeing the active volcano as well :)

    Love your content....coming to town for Christmas 2024 and will be staying in Reykavik for the holiday. Having trouble deciding what to do on the 24th and 25th given the limited things open and available...would love some ideas! Our agent has originally planned for us to do Sly Lagoon on the 24th and nothing on the 25th, but since we are going to Blue Lagoon later in the week if felt 'repetitive' then she suggested Perlan and Fly Over Iceland...any ideas from a local on things to do over the course of those two days in the downtown area?

Then, we are doing the food tour with you guys on our last day (the 19th). We will probably do lunch and walk around town before joining the tour. Do you have a few recommendations for where we should eat on the 14th and that afternoon before meeting up with you guys? Thank you again for the most excellent information. Skal!

    Sounds amazing! I wish we were going to be there. We’re coming to visit at the beginning of February. How do the day tours like Golden Circle work if there is a storm or a road closing? I know you already answered my question about fish allergies on the Reykjavik Food Walk and I appreciated your response. Thanks.Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s Eve!

      Thanks for your comment. December is a wonderful time to visit but I have no doubt you'll love it here in February as well :))
      If we receive a heavy snowstorm here in Iceland and the roads outside of Reykjavik are closed then the tour won't be able to be operated on that day and will be cancelled. You would then have the option of either receiving a full refund or rescheduling to a date with better weather where all of the roads would be open :)
      I hope this helps!

I'm from Scotland, so it'll be nice to experience a different culture as well as take in the beautiful views of the northern lights and landscapes! Hard to choose from the wide variety of tours haha.
