Iconic Attractions & Hidden Gem Travel Experiences

Reykjavik

The capital of Iceland, Reykjavik has grown rapidly in popularity among travelers. Many tours stop or start here on their way to explore Iceland's wild lands. A foodie scene of modern and traditional Nordic cuisine, shopping, nightlife, and the Blue Lagoon should make Reykjavik a destination at the top of your travel list.

Top Reykjavik Experiences

  • Exploring the National Museum of Iceland and learning the country's fascinating history of creation, as well as its ties to the sea. 
  • Learning about Icelandic art at the National Gallery, from early viking artworks to the impressive modern masterpieces of today. 
  • Getting ready for a whale watching excursion with a walk through the immersive Whales of Iceland exhibit, and then setting out on the Norwegian Sea to see the largest mammals on Earth. 
  • Taking a history tour to learn about the nation's extensive viking history
  • Enjoying all different kinds of Icelandic cuisine, whether it's a simple Icelandic hot dog off the street, or a romantic dinner meal at Perlan - a glass domed, award winning restaurant.
  • Going for one of the most incredible scenic drives in the world along the Golden Circle, and enjoying a beer afterwards as you go through the day's many pictures.

Our trip to Iceland was absolutely stunning and Charlie the Traveler curated an amazing and adventurous trip for us that kept in mind all of the attractions that were on our list and many other gems this beautiful country has to offer.
Our trip to Iceland was absolutely stunning and Charlie the Traveler curated an amazing and adventurous trip for us that kept in mind all of the attractions that were on our list and many other gems this beautiful country has to offer. We hit a few roadblocks with our tours due to weather conditions and volcanic activity in the area, but Charlie The Traveler and his team were on it at every moment and were able to provide us with alternative tours that did not take away from the overall experience. His team is led by individuals that truly cares about your experience. If you need a perfect trip planned then Charlie the Traveler is the way to go. This trip has been absolutely perfect and can’t wait to come back and explore it again.

I’ve been a lot of places, but this trip was by far the best I’ve ever taken!
I’ve been a lot of places, but this trip was by far the best I’ve ever taken! I’m so glad we went with Charlie the Traveler as our travel agency! They were super organized in booking our hotels, transportation, and sightseeing adventures. In a place like Iceland in the winter, it’s very important that you leave it to the professionals to get you from one place to another. I cannot speak more highly Charlie the Travelers professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence!!! Charlie, Evelyn, and our Icelandic tour guides Hugrun and Ingi were exceptional! If you choose to book it, get ready for ethereal, majestic sights you’ve never experienced before.♥️

I will definitely recommend your company! Thank you for a sensational trip!
Charles, thank for setting up our trip to Iceland. You made this arrangement the way we had expected. Especially at a time of pandemic....we felt very safe because of the tour guides made it that way. They were very knowledgeable with history, culture and the local cuisines. Hospitality was amazing. Our friends and family are bragging about the pictures and they want to know more about your company. I will definitely recommend your company! Thank you for a sensational trip!

I would recommend one of his trips to anyone, and we are very thankful we trusted him with our honeymoon.
My husband and I wanted to have an adventure vacation for our honeymoon, but wanted to sit back and not have to worry about the details. We found CharlieTheTraveler and this company's trips exactly fit the bill. We were able to fit so much into a compact time without feeling like rushing because of how efficiently the trip was put together. We never had to stress about travel or minutia, which is exactly what we wanted. We didn’t feel like we missed anything we wanted to see or do. The concierge in country (Nadine) was there for us through many changes in the plans (Iceland weather is at times unpredictable!). She was always kind and helpful even when we had multiple requests or questions. Charlie answered my messages also, and all of our plans went without issue. I would recommend one of his trips to anyone, and we are very thankful we trusted him with our honeymoon.
