Planning the trip to Iceland with Zicasso’s travel company was done very professionally and in an expert manner. Execution of the trip was meticulously performed. Our travel specialist was easily approachable and responded promptly to queries and concerns. Our driver and guide, during our 10 days around the Ring Road, was exceptionally good.

Iceland Vacation Review: Solar Eclipse, ATV Ride, Zodiac Boat Tour, Blue Lagoon, Scenery, 1-Week Trip

Our trip surpassed all of our expectations and we have very high expectations! We spent a whole week with our guide doing a counterclockwise tour of Iceland, ending with dinner at his gracious home and the solar eclipse on August 12, 2026.

He is a highly educated, well-read guide who has been a teacher and has created his tours with history, geology, culture, religion, and much, much more. He is a native Icelander whose family has been there for generations.

In addition to fjording rivers, looking at rainbows over full, magnificent waterfalls, riding ATVs over lava beaches, and arranging a Zodiac boat tour of the Blue Lagoon, he educated us about Icelandic life.

He talked a lot during our tour. He is an excellent driver. He was courteous to us and also provided time for my husband and me to take walks, have dinners, and spend evenings alone.

He has traveled widely, so we also enjoyed talking with him about his travels. He chose exotic, out-of-the-way places to show us that we were obviously off the beaten path. We have nothing but gratitude that he was at our helm. We look forward to visiting when he travels to California. Bravo!!

Iceland Tour Review: Scenery, 9 Days

Excellent all around. Zicasso’s travel specialist was fast, thorough, and very knowledgeable. He answered all my follow-up questions quickly and resolved the only issue that arose on the trip (a rental car company goof) instantly. I would recommend the travel company and our travel specialist without reservation.

Zicasso’s travel specialist was an excellent planner and very responsive. He booked us in some unique hotels that really hit it out of the park. We all especially liked our hotel in southeast Iceland, with its awesome museum. It was surreal.
