Iceland Tour Review: Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon, Ice Caving, Northern Lights, Glacier Hiking, Waterfalls, 1 Week

My family and I just came back from a week-long trip to Iceland, and we had a wonderful time. I have a travel agent in the US that I normally work with, but the initial price I was getting from her was $7,000/day. I was shocked by how expensive it was, so I started searching on my own to see if I could find better deals. That's when I happened to see the Zicasso website. I looked at the reviews and people had a lot of good things to say about them.

I connected with two travel agents on Zicasso and chose to go with our travel specialist because the itinerary was very organized and easy to understand. I gave him our budget, but told him I was willing to go up for a more private experience. I have a daughter who has a chronic condition, so my family and I normally do private tours instead of group tours so we can change the schedule if she's not feeling well.

We had a private driver for four days touring the Golden Circle, plus it included pick-up and drop-off from our hotels and airport during the other days. The cost was significantly less and I got the trip I was hoping for.

Our itinerary included hotels, private driver, excursions like ice caving, lava caves, Northern Lights tour, Blue Lagoon, and different waterfalls, etc. Because we had a private driver, we got to see more than most tourists normally see from those bus tours.

We thought it was an amazing trip. Our travel specialist was very easy to work with. A few days before our trip, he was sending me emails to make sure we knew what to pack and wanted to make sure I reviewed my itinerary carefully in case I had questions. While we were in Iceland, he also checked up on us to make sure we were doing okay. He provided contact information for his office and the Iceland emergency number in case we ran into issues. Overall, I am very satisfied with the service the travel company provided, especially our travel specialist. I highly recommend them.

Iceland Tour Review: Blue Lagoon, Sky Lagoon, Valley of Thor, Ice Cave Tour, 5 Nights

Zicasso’s travel specialist was wonderful. He was very attentive to our interests and needs, and was able to pivot based on the weather and conditions. Our driver, who picked us up at the airport, took us to the Blue Lagoon and waited, and drove us to our hotel and to the airport from the Sky Lagoon at the end of our trip, which was also great.
