Honestly I really enjoyed everything. But if I had to pinpoint a favourite I think it would be how often we saw the northern lights. Due to the extreme weather conditions - a blizzard in October, we saw them almost every night which I think makes us really lucky, as I was expecting it to be much harder to see them. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised by the adaptability of our day plans by our TM and Driver when we needed to be kept safe, and had delays to departures on some days due to snow, icy roads, and strong winds - we still managed to see everything we would have in the end and made some surprise pit stops too! I was super stoked with the glacier hike, but it would be even more incredible if it was longer. The only way I think this trip could be improved would be to have the start time earlier so the first day is actually a full day, and start the travel straight away! Why do we need to stay in Reykjavík on the first and last night? It could easily be changed to make the trip feel like you see even a tiny bit more.

Scandinavia has astonishing sightseeing for those who like nature or history. The experience was even better with Contiki. Ollie our trip manager and Tamas our drive provide a lot of historical information, curiosities and we were able to drive to some other places for sightseeing. Highly recommend it.

Has been a great tour with excellent driver and tour guide that gave full Island knowledges. Always very kind and funny. The only observation I can make is at diamond beach too short time.

Woweee! Such an amazing day filled with lots of different things to see! The guide Howsa was absolutely fantastic and so so knowledgeable! He made the journey exciting and we didn't feel like the bus journey was boring due to his uplifting attitude and positivity! He was so passionate about Iceland and knew so much interesting information. Howsa's English was impeccable and his choice of words left us feeling like we were listening to an audio book!
Would recommend this trip to anyone that appreciates nature and outstanding views!
So glad I found this trip after researching must see places in Iceland as it topped off our trip and made it even more incredible!"
