Customer Reviews

great tour book
I picked up a few books to plan my trip to Iceland but this was the one that made it into the bag. I referred to it constantly and found the information to be dead-on. It was also handy that use the the Icelandic letters for street and place names, e.g. Þorsgata instead of Thorsgata.

Whaling in Iceland?!?
I was saddened by the fact that Iceland chooses to whale hunt. I cannot believe the ignorance of a country in this day in age. This made me so distraught that I cancelled my trip to Iceland. Hopefully, with a down turn in tourism they will think about the effects of whaling and cancel that program.

Stop killing endangered species!!!

well written but not well photogrpahed
The book was helpful as a reference, but lacked in the type of photography I have enjoyed in other LP guides. As we all know, a picture is worth a thousand words- I find pictures are helpful for me to identify the must-see places whether they are the most popular or not. I thought the book was a great reference but it didn't necessarily help me plan my trip. I'd seek out a book with more pictures, or search blogs to pair with the information in this guide.
