Customizable Itinerary
Day 1
Reykjavik – Land of Fire and Ice
History, culture, and life in the Land of Fire and Ice thrive in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. Horses and sheep graze on former lava fields blanketed with grass leading from the airport to the edges of the city. Rooftops glow with red, orange, and blue colors atop whitewashed homes. Old Town grows along the shores of Tjornin where arctic terns and swans search for fresh fish. The steel-like cobalt water reflects the surrounding spires and facades across the surface like a mirror.
Your flight arrives at Keflavik International Airport, where your private transfer greets you upon your arrival. It is easy to imagine White Walkers or Wildlings running through the open landscape between the airport the city. The spirit of Game of Thrones embodies the unique mixture of ice caps and volcanic peaks, lava tubes and distant plains around the country, forever connecting the fantastical landscapes of the fictional stories to the majestic landscapes of the non-fictional country. Your guide greets you in the lobby of your hotel after you have had the chance to wind down and freshen up.
The sunlight glints off the white concrete tower of Hallgrimskirkja church. The ridges along the nearly 250-foot tower remind you of a fraction of what the Wall must look like as it protects the northern boundaries of the Seven Kingdoms. You venture to the National Museum for an introduction to the Viking culture that has shaped Icelandic history and the tales that helped inspire portions of the Game of Thrones series. The museum offers a timeline of history and culture across the island, presenting chieftains and Christian power, exhibits adorned with drinking horns, glinting polished swords, and a bronze figure of Thor.

Our specialist's attention to detail and personalized approach made all the difference. We’re beyond satisfied with his service and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to plan an unforgettable adventure. Thanks to him, we made memories that will last a lifetime!

We have been on many vacations before, but nothing comes close to the amazing itinerary provided to us by Zicasso's travel company. The experience was truly world-class and we did things we didn't believe we could do. I would give this vacation 10 stars if it were possible.
Having said that, I would recommend a couple of small items: For guided tours, make clearer which ones are not guided and provide a rough timeline within the day so we know what to expect. Neither of these is a deal-breaker, but would take our trip from 10 out of 5 stars to 12 out of 5 stars.
They also provided amazing communication. I absolutely will refer them to others.

We had a agreat trip to Iceland. Zicasso's tour operator arranged everything perfectly. Our guide for nine days was exceptional!

Our trip was absolutely amazing. Zicasso's tour operator did a great job planning out the details and creating an itinerary that allowed us to see everything we wanted to in an efficient manner. We had a lot we wanted to squeeze into 10 days and we were able to do it all.
The hotels/bed and breakfasts we stayed at were perfect. Even when we ran into an issue with one of the planned hotels, our agent found multiple replacement options and took care of everything, making something that would have been frustrating a seamless experience. We cannot recommend Zicasso and our travel company enough.
