Iceland Solo Tours for Single Travelers

Everything was perfect about the trip but the most important thing was the tour leader Einar. He could not be bettered - an amazing person, knowledgeable, got us immediately (and we were quite an unusual bunch!), was funny, took us to local places that meant something to him and his family. Brilliant.

Had a great time, and my tour guide was lovely. Got to see and do some fantastic things (would recommend doing the FTAs) and the coach made moving around Iceland safe and easy. Given how dark it was and how iced the roads were, this tour was a great way to see Iceland. We were able to see the Northern Lights in Iceland, but this isn’t a Northern Lights tour; it’s very weather dependent. Only notes I’d have for this trip are the optional activities are not really optional, as you will be left on the coach until the activity is done; there is nothing else in the area for you to do during these activities. The glacier hike was manageable for those that don’t regularly hike, but if you don’t have good boots with ankle support you will also have to pay to rent shoes. The hostel we stayed at in Reykjavík was also inconvenient at this time for airport transfers due to construction happening; no hostel pick ups possible, so I’d take care when booking flights to pick a convenient time to catch a bus and arrive at the airport on time.

Arnie made sure we had our daylight hours filled with sights and has a real knack for getting us to sights before the crowds arrived. Iceland was really out of this world and to be able to see it guided by a passionate local was such a treat. I definitely plan to do the summer trip at some point

This trip was incredible. Iceland was a dream destination and this trip allowed me to see as much of the country in a week as possible. Each day was something so unique and peaceful.

To be able to get an idea of a country by driving around it is something I would recommend wherever you are. Even better when someone else does the driving. The views even with unpredictable weather were always second to none. Black sand beaches and icebergs one minute, Lunar like landscapes the next. Spectacular waterfalls around even turn. Enormous fjords and glaciers that you can actually hear moving.

This was my first solo trip and my first time using Explore! It was a brief tour but it allowed me to get accustomed to the tour experience. Our tour leader, Einar, was exceptional. He made the trip both educational and entertaining. Einar shared his Icelandic heritage graciously and answered all of our questions with kindness. Our group was a wonderful mixture of ages and personalities and we blended very well. We even got to see the Northern Lights! 😊 I highly recommend this tour and look forward to my next adventure with Explore!
