    HEEEY GUYS!
    I'm looking for video ideas / Iceland topics for my upcoming videos! 👀
    Soooo I wanted to check: What would YOU like to see?
    Iceland travel itineraries, Icelandic phrases to learn before your trip, road trip stuff??
    I genuinely would love to know so that I can make exactly the type of content that you'd be most interested in seeing.
    Let me know! ✌🏻❤

      100% icelandic phrases. Also specific stuff to pack (and things you might think of packing but that wouldn't be that helpful, I.E umbrellas because of rain/snow but not accounting for the wind)

    I just returned from Iceland two weeks ago!! Such an awesome experience!! I was not able to see the Northern Lights as it was too cloudy- but went to the Perlan and saw the Northern Lights show, among other things- what a nice interactive museum. Also, I should have booked the Blue lagoon prior to my arrival- no openings- but went to the Sky Lagoon and it was beautiful!! I have so much to still see- so will definitely return!!

I was really interested in your food/drink tour and then going straight from that to a northern lights tour, but my flight is scheduled to land at 3:15, so I'm not sure if that would give us enough time to get from the airport, check in to the hotel and make it on time.

    Myself and my boyfriend just returned from Iceland Wednesday and done all three of the recommended tours, including starting off with the Northern Lights on our first night and got to see them. Followed by the South Island tour and finished with the Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon. Our tour guides were amazing and have so much information and history.
    We stayed a bit further out the city in the Grand Hotel Reykjavik which suited us. Such a beautiful island, we’d love to come back for another visit again!

    I went to Iceland recently, we wound up needing to get cash because we found several places would not take American Express (even though we asked several people ahead of time) Mastercard and Visa would probably have been ok. Important info to know, we were also told credit cards wouldn't be a problem.

    • @celt3067

      So many places are not taking American Express because they cost more for the business to process than MC and Visa.

We have also booked 3 additional days accommodation prior to start of the tour to maximize Seeing Northern Lights. Do you have suggestions for day tours that we can take in addition to food tour. Please let me know. Thank you.

      Regarding suggestions for fantastic activities to do: YES! I've got plenty!
      1) Reykavik Food Walk (as you mentioned) for early on in your stay
      2) Golden Circle with stop at Secret Lagoon natural hot spring and/or South Coast tour.

      3) Snowmobiling and Ice Caves on Langjökull glacier (with transfers from Reykjavik)

    Great info. We were there Dec 2021 during Winter Solstice and had a great time. Coming back this December. Flights and lodging booked.
    Head’s up, thought for the arrival day. Our flight from DC arrives at 6:30am so be ready to be tired that morning, especially for the drive in the dark from airport to Reykjavik. Be careful and ready. And, be ready to have to kill a few hours before being able to check in to lodging. Some good walking tours are great for that first day until you can check in.

    Thank you so much! i'm traveling to Iceland in Dec to Mar for an Artist Residency, and am absolutely looking forward to it.
    In April, my family will come up to visit, and we'll probably be headed to Reykjavik to walk around and tour, so the food and sightseeing tours sound amazing too.
    Will be tuning in regularly, thank you for sharing these tips. It really helps! ❤

      Hey Shirley!
      Dan here :)
      Thank you so much for kind words. I'm glad to hear that this has been useful. I definitely recommend tuning in as we'll be posting frequently from here on out. And as we get closer to next April, I'll be sure to make a video specifically for that month with info on what to expect, events happening in Iceland during April, weather etc.
      Awesome as well to hear that you'll be joining our tours. I have no doubt you'll love them!

      Great to hear! The winters definitely have some great advantages here! On our website wakeupreykjavik.com/blog we have blog posts dedicated to each month here, so have a read and see which one you are more exited for. No month is really better than other, they can both be a fantastic time to come!

    Love this video!! I am visiting Iceland solo in Mid-March 2023 & I'm interested in several of your recommendations. My question in particular is about the walking food tour: would you recommend this food tour to tourists who DO NOT eat seafood? I don't eat anything from the ocean but I'd love to do the tour & try other food options. Thanks!

    Thanks for the tip on the food walk (and for the discount code!). Had a great time with Lily and returned to three of the venues later in our stay. Eating out, for us anyway, was not cheap in Reykjavik so it was handy to have an idea of the quality of what you were buying in advance. Thanks.

    • @WakeUpReykjavik.
      @WakeUpReykjavik.  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for the kind words Jacob!
      That's a great question. The Dacia Duster isn't a powerful vehicle, but it works surprisingly well in the snow. I friend of mine drove to Akureyri from Reykjavik (5 hours) in heavy snow just a couple of weeks ago without any problems.
      It all depends, have you driven in snow before? At the moment, the weather is quite nice and it would be no problem to drive around outside of Reykjavik. We had some heavy snow a couple of weeks ago where even I, having lived here my entire life, would have been a bit nervous.
      So it's a little tricky to predict since we'll have to see what the weather will be like in February.
      I'm not sure if I was able to fully give you the answer that you were looking for but I hope this helps haha!

      Hey Marcia!
      Dan here :)
      Great question! It's soo hard to predict how this January will be as it varies from year to year.
      January 2022 was one of the stormiest months I've ever experienced. A lot of snow and rain.
      This winter, so far (October / November) has been quite good in regards to weather; relatively warm and little rain in comparison to previous years. So the January ahead might very well be a lot different than January 2022 ✌🏻🇮🇸
