We loved the city! We were there 5 days before embarkation & took a lot of tours & museums, etc. Awesome place, easy to get around, SAFE & clean & everyone spoke excellent English! ...
I had been to Reykjavik before so I decided to go to the Perlan, a nature museum. Exhibitions include an Ice Cave, Northern Lights Show and fly over Iceland, Volcano experience, Observation Deck and various other exhibits. I really enjoyed it. I took the local bus there.

Our first excursion was one of whale watching and we did see many whales and birds. We also enjoyed the Golden Circle tour. The Thingvellir National Park was amazing and seeing the tectonic plates between the hemispheres is a ...
