Our tailor-made trips are all planned by local experts – who work for tour operators on the ground – so that all the pesky planning details are taken care of for you. Their know-how, and 24/7 support, makes travel truly stress-free. But don’t just take our word for it: these reviews are all written by real travellers who have booked a tailor-made trip with Rough Guides. Every traveller is asked to leave a review after their trip, but you can leave one before you go, too.

“We used the Rough Guides referral tool to inquire about self-guided trips in Iceland. We received 2 proposals very quickly, both quite reasonable. We went with Traveo, who organized an excellent trip, with regular communication. The only issue was the weather (including one day of Orange wind warnings and closed roads) but I guess that was out of their control. . .”

“Eric with Rough Guides crafted the perfect trip! My husband and I did the Golden Circle, the Ring Road, and the Diamond Circle. Yes, we took our time and it is so worth it! We loved doing the Blue Lagoon which is quite busy and fun. Be sure to go into ALL the saunas, take a cool shower and splurge on the moisturizing mask. My face looked glowing! Hit the Lava Restaurant for an incredible chill setting and incredible food. We did the mushroom soup and a salad, followed by an Icelandic dessert and coffee. Super delicious. Other highlights for us: Silfra dry suit snorkel trip, glacier walk, glacier helicopter ride, aurora trip, stopping to view all the fantastic waterfalls, geothermal and volcanic sites, historical sites, museums, restaurant recommendations, and more. Check out the GeoSea Baths in Husavik! Incredible views from a spa! Eric also added on last-minute requests and was able to pivot for us when a vendor canceled on us. It was a relief to not have to deal with those details! Our only regret is that we didn't go for one month! Thank you, Eric!”

Eric our travel planner was excellent, and produced a great itinerary consulting me on what we wanted and how long we had. He then booked all our accommodation and hire car and some activities. We had an amazing week travelling round Iceland, the whole thing went like clockwork. Eric is a specialist for Iceland and his knowledge completely made our trip. I recommend him and that you follow his suggestions and you'll have a brilliant trip!”

“I never thought that I would make it to iceland with so little fuss . Èric was amazing in helping me plan my trip and the itinerary provided and hotels booked were all good places. All my questions were answered. I only had to study the itinerary like on a few weekend before my trip to see which are the places that we are going , and also look through the optionals to see which i really want to go to . Despite the weather, i really enjoyed my trip . He also helped me find a local photographer for my photoshoot in the Capital . Thank you for a wonderful trip .”
