...If so, how does this tour sound to you?

As far as I can see it works out at about £1,700 per person before flights, fuel, food etc. which sounds like a lot of money.

I'm quite curious. To be blunt, I like the convenience of a package tour, but this one seems to be charging a hell of a mark up ... or is that just how much travelling in Iceland costs? I've heard tales of it being expensive, but I thought that was mostly for drinks. smile

We'd be looking at either early August or mid-September depending on the plan. It's for a honeymoon and we've considered everything from Greece to the Scottish Highlands without making a decision just yet. I've never been to Iceland or anywhere in Scandinavia, but it's always appealed.

Cheers Matt. Certainly some food for thought.

Sounds like once we've thrown in a bit of honeymoon luxury we're looking at £3000 per person for a week all-in. Not cheap, but it looks like an incredible place to visit. I just fear it might be the sort of thing that appeals to me more than the future Mrs Chris71. There again, the opposite would be true if it was a beach holiday ... maybe we'll toss a coin in the end.
