Tour Itinerary
Icelandic folklore maintains there are clans of elves and trolls living in the country’s extraordinary hills, rocky outcrops, and lava fields. Will you meet these “Huldufólk” or “Hidden People” said to dislike churches, daylight, and electricity? Hard to say. But here’s what you will see on this breathtaking tour of Iceland—active volcanoes, roaring waterfalls, jagged glaciers, floating icebergs, black-sand beaches, and brilliant-blue geothermal springs. Unique, local experiences await in the “Land of Fire and Ice,” including tasting piping hot bread baked by the heat from the hot springs, sipping Geysir schnapps served at freezing point, and standing in awe before the spectacular Lake Jökulsárlón, home to Europe’s largest glacier and the site of some of the most dramatic scenes from the James Bond movie Die Another Day. The gargantuan sights in the land of the elves will surely leave you stirred, not shaken.

Health and Safety Protocols for Globus Tours
The world is waiting to be rediscovered! And Globus helps you reunite with your favorite destinations through our ongoing commitment to travel with the ease and confidence travelers have come to expect on tour with us. No matter where you travel, our global network of travel experts has you ready to reconnect.
And along the way, we’re step-for step with you to remove the worries and hassles that might make aspiring globetrotters hesitate when taking that first step in discovering dream destinations once again. With exceptional health and safety protocols and on-trip contingency plans for unexpected surprises, Globus travelers see more of the world with more peace of mind.
A SAFE & WARM WELCOMEGlobus will conduct tour check-in procedures and pre-trip health screenings to offer guests a safe start and peace of mind throughout the journey. This includes proof of vaccination for all guests.
BLENDING CULTURAL PROXIMITY WITH SOCIAL DISTANCEThere may be times on tour or on the motorcoach when social distancing is required. We will take care in assuring any local guidelines are followed in a safe and comfortable way for our guests. For any cases where masks are required due to local guidelines, we ask that guests bring their own approved N95 (FFP2) masks for their own comfort and safety. Our wireless listening technology enables safe distances between our guests and other travelers during excursions.
FOCUS ON GUEST AND TEAM MEMBER HEALTHTo ensure a healthy environment for each of our guests and our team, our Tour Directors, Local Hosts, and motorcoach drivers are fully vaccinated, and Globus is also requiring that all travelers are fully vaccinated before joining the trips. Additionally, regular guest checks are conducted, and, when required by local guidelines, masks will be worn by our guests and by our team when accompanying guests. In all other cases, masks are optional for guests.
TOUCHING HEARTS, NOT HANDSTraveling with Globus removes many of the “touch points” of travel, including luggage handling, check in/out, expedited entry into attractions and more. Globus are further reducing risk with hands-free service, meaning all self-services replaced by staff, including buffet meals replaced with table service. Globus will also ensure hand sanitizing is available throughout each trip, on coach and in hotels.
COMMITMENT TO CLEANAs a part of Globus' commitment to clean, Globus is requiring enhanced cleaning procedures with hotel partners, on motorcoaches, vehicles and throughout every trip, including additional daily disinfecting procedures that go above-and-beyond already strict health and safety procedures.
PARTNERS IN DISCOVERY AND IN HEALTHGlobus has strict health and safety protocols, which have been in place for years, focused on ensuring all aspects of operation- from vehicles and equipment used on trip to excursions and hotel procedures. This process will continue with new, elevated health and safety checks, to maintain their promise that each touch-point on tours and cruises are considered in their commitment to guest and team member well-being.

Question: Does the Iceland tour stop at Diamond Beach?
Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
This itinerary allows one to really see and experience the varied lands within Iceland.
Great trip. Very enjoyable.
Our Tour guide was exceptional and the driver
This was a packed itinerary. It was one of the best trips and countries we have visited.
Iceland is a country of extremes. Where else can you see, icebergs, volcanos, geysers, glaciers, waterfalls, whales, and northern lights on one tiny Iceland? "Desolate beauty" Miles of rock but at the same point those miles are unique beauty.
Wonderful experience. Totally more than we expected!
We enjoyed our trip to Iceland thoroughly.
Absolutely fantastic, wonderful accommodations got to see local towns, extremely friendly knowledgeable guide.
Sara did a great job booking our trip and answering questions.
I felt that Globus fell short in some aspects. The hotel in Reykjavik was very far from city center. When we arrived early in the morning we were given no information about possible activities we could do until check in time. I felt we lost a full day in Reykjavik. The other hotels were delightful and areas where we stopped gave us a wonderful experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable.
Exceeded our expectations
The tour guide & driver were excellent. The bus was new & full size.
Iceland is a very exciting place offering a lot to see and enjoy. This particular tour was great for people of a certain age, because even thought the daily walking was about 5 to 8 miles, it was not felt. I recommend this tour to all. The only remark I would like to make is for the use of toilets in the bus. There are many people who suffer at times and are unable to use the facilities only because cleaning can be a problem for the operators. That is not good at all.
Gate1 and Insight Tours both visited Dettifoss. Globus cancelled Dettifoss with the excuse that it was raining in Reykjavik, Globus bus has WiFi and the weather report was excellent sunny weather, no rain
Waterfall, volcano, waterfall, waterfall, lava field. Alrighty. Got it. The tour director was a hot mess.
Good tour and accommodations, PA system in bus scratchy & hard to understand.
The trip was wonderful but they need a dinner option for the "Japanese dinner" night. For $7,000, they should be able to find us a salad in lieu of raw fish and raw beef. The hotels were excellent. Globus needs to provide an ACCURATE hotel list. They provide the hotel list 2 weeks before the trip so when you end up at a different hotel it is difficult for family members to get in touch. I would recommend 2 nights ahead of the trip in Tokyo as well as an extra day in Osaka.
The accommodations ranged from excellent (Hilton Reykjavik and Kea in Akureyri) to horrible at the Egilsstadir. The others were what would be expected in remote areas, but fully acceptable. The Egilsstaidir should be removed from the Globus listings. Other than the bed (too large for this tiny room), the only other piece of furniture was a straight-back chair--no tables, no desk, no surface to place glasses, clocks, etc, Broken (barely usable) items were TV, commode, and faucet.

We are so happy we did a tour that included going completely around Iceland! There was so much to do and see, the scenery was amazing, and while on the bus we learned the history of the island. Loved every moment of it and the food was excellent too.
