I booked all my tours through Wake Up Reykjavik and I’m so thankful that I got to work with local small businesses and guides! I had only amazing things to say about all my tours and guides. And the food tour was MY FAV!
And we are sooo thankful to hear that you came and joined our fun tour! 🧡
absoutley brill advice
My mom, my aunt, and I have booked our trip to Iceland for the end of January 2025!!! I cannot wait! My dream is to see the northern lights and pray I can see them! I can’t wait to explore your beautiful country and meet people! I still can’t believe I’m really going!!! Pinch me!! 😂😊❤
Oh wow hooow cool!!! There is so much fun to do here in January, definitely check out or Winter in Iceland video for more information on that 🥳
@@WakeUpReykjavik.thank you for responding! I’m heading over to that video now!!❤❤😊😊
One more thing about the road- look up how roundabouts work in Iceland. About 1/4 of all accidents that happen in roundabouts involve tourists. The gist is that the inside (left) lane has right of way, so if you are on the outside lane trying to go straight (2nd exit), you must yield to anyone on the inside trying to turn right (1st exit). I bring this up because I was the tourist who didn’t know the rules and I got into a fender bender before even reaching Reykjavík from the airport 🥲
A great point! ⭕️ Driving here sure can be tricky 🚙
I'm really looking forward to moving to Iceland to work and live. The language is proving to be a bit challenging, but I'm putting a lot of effort into learning it. Greetings from Argentina.
I'm glad TH-cam brought up your videos. Unfortunately, we're coming into Iceland on a cruise ship, so 7 hours in Akureryi, 6 hours in Isafjordur (assuming we can even tender in) and then a day and a half in Reykjavik doesn't leave room for much except little samplers, but your videos are very informative. Thank you.
I'm so happy to hear you found us! But there is plenty to do in Reykjavík with a day and a half, you could probably do a Food Walk + Puffin tour and then check out some landmarks like Perlan museum 🥳
Goooooooooooood ❤
Great personality ❤
I was there 2 weeks ago. Absolutely spectacular country & the Icelanders were a blast! Great humour, friendly & so proud of their beautiful home. Loved it there!
I find your videos concise and entertaining. Thank you for giving me so much insight into Iceland.
Oh thank YOU for the sweetest comment! 🧡 We sure hope to see you here one day!
Great tips!!! One more personal tip… if possible..Do see the puffins in season! The highlight of my holiday
That's a great add on tip, I will have to add it on when we do this video part 2 haha!
Gudný’s video’s are the absolute best. Every one gets me excited to visit Iceland on our trip this summer. Along with our many plans for our travels along the Ring Road, we cannot wait for our Reykjavik Food Walk Tour. I, not so much my wife, am looking forward to trying fermented shark. Well, maybe not so much but I am not leaving Iceland without try this local “delicacy”.
Thanks again Gudny for the great videos.
Wow, how nice are you! 🥹 Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to commend 🧡 We sure are excited to see you here soon! 🧡
I did the food tour my first day and had the best time!
That's awesome to hear! 🧡 Thanks for joining in and watching!
I love this, thank you!
Iceland has always been a dream of mine So excited my dream is going to come true April 28
How awesome! We sure can't wait to see you then! 🥳
See you Monday!
great info!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the great tips! Do you also have any tips for foreigners about how to plan bathroom breaks when self-touring around the country? I have heard it can be a challenge!
Indeed it is a task...just returned from Iceland 😢
Hey there! Hmm not quite, I mean, most towns have gas stations with bathrooms? 🤔 so if you aim for those you should have them quite frequently!
Where is the link for recommendations on where to rent waterproof clothing? Thanks!
I booked my food tour with your team yesterday. I can't wait to be in Iceland!
Yaaayy! Thank you so much! ☺️🧡
Another great video! Have learned so much from your videos. All my tours with your agency are booked and counting down the days until we get to explore your beautiful country!
Thank you so much for watching, we really appreciate it! And we can't WAIT to see you here soon 🇮🇸
Thank you so much for all of this wonderful information!! Can’t wait to visit Iceland for the first time In May !!
You are so welcome! We can't WAIT to see you this May, enjoy it so much 🧡
I’ll be coming in Dec this year. I’ll definitely be reaching out to book trips with you!
How exciting! We can't WAIT to see you here soon! 🧡🥳
I love that your grocery store non-beer is almost the same amount of alcohol as actual American beer sold in bars 😅
Haha right! 😅
Thank you for all of your information l was in reykjavik on February l didn't see the northern lights but it was fantastic food people stunning coming back next year
You are so welcome! And we would LOVE to have you here again 🇮🇸
Do all your grocery stores have signs in German? 😂 Great video, as always.
Haha, there was a bit of a problem with finding b-rolls for this video hehe 🙈
We have booked 2 tours through you in June. One is the Blue Lagoon. We are coming from the US so get in at 7:00 am so we are stopping first at the Blue Lagoon. What is the best and fastest way to get from the Blue Lagoon to our hotel in the city? Thanks.
We are going to Iceland, Madrid, and Rome. We don't want to haul our winter gear all throughout Europe. Any tips for that? We were thinking of shipping our winter coats home before we left Iceland.
I haven't done this, but I heard on another creators video that you can rent winter clothing and gear upon landing in Iceland. Shipping the coats back could be cheaper; something to look into though!
I got to see someone be silly at the black sand beach.. so scary!
Oh no! Not the way to go ☹️
This may be a dumb question, but will I need to do anything different for cellphone service? I will be coming from the United States. Will I still be able to call back home while in Iceland?
Heyy there! No, it should work juuust fine 📞😍
Where does one stay when in Iceland?
Hey there! We always recommend staying in Reykjavík 101 downtown area to be close to all the action! The bars, restaurants and close to any pick up locations! 🥳
To cut a long story short with the "don'ts": use your brain, don't be an annoying tourist and respect the Icelandic culture and its rules. It's that simple. ☝🏻
And please do that! It's super annoying to find tourists who think they have a bonus.
