I want to give most of the credit to Auður and my travel company, I Heart Reykjavik, who listened to what we wanted and helped us pick out the perfect tour operators to plan every day.
We paid her, and then she handled paying all the tour companies and getting us all the vouchers for our tours.
She used a very cool online system to compile all our tours.
Also, definitely do one of their walking tours of the city with them. We learned so much from Hrannar, in a casual non-scripted way. It was a great introduction to Iceland on our first day.
Because some people have asked, the tour companies pay her a commission, and we don't have to pay her anything.
So please go through her to book your trips. It will make all of your Iceland trip planning so much easier. And she responds quickly to emails.
Here are some of the tours we chose:
Private Super Jeep Tour of Northern Lights
Inside the Volcano
Golden Circle and Magical Nights
Blue Lagoon and Airport Transfer
