Hi All,
We'll be in Iceland from 8/24 - 9/2. We're thinking ring road, and there are many tour companies that offer a car / hotel combo, but the itineraries are fairly non-specific. Since RS doesn't offer a tour here (we've done My Way Italy and My Way Spain), we're looking for recommendations on a company to use to book the self-drive tour.
Thanks!
Is there a reason you don't want to book this yourself? It is very easy o do and you would save yourself a significant amount of money.
That said, you are very late to planning for this summer. Most places in Iceland book out 9-12 months in advance in a regular year, but with the eclipse on August 12th, things booked out even further and prices skyrocketed. Your dates will still see some of that effect.
Ten days is the shortest amount of time that I would do a ring road trip. The time we did it we had 12 nights and still felt a bit rushed. We did a lot, but also missed a lot, hence we have returned many times.
If you are willing to plan it yourself, I am happy to help. If that interests you, please share the number of travelers, what your interests are, etc.
I'm taking a guided 10 day Ring Road tour with Nordic Visitor (who I found recommended on this forum) this summer. They also offer self drive tours. I didn't look into those details, but my own tour communications have been very detailed (appreciated by type A me!) and I can tell much of their information is the same provided to both guided or self drive customers! They also had a lot of tour availability even though I signed up "late" for this summer, so hopefully that's also true for their self-drive arrangements!
