      The first travel video in YouTube that represents the place not the person 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 amazing I truly enjoyed it thank you sir ❤

    7. A. L. on

      I don't know much about Iceland but this video made me want to visit a place I've never thought about before

    13. Ryan Lowe on

      Heading to Iceland in a few weeks. Unfortunately I’ll only be there for 3 full days, but still looking forward to exploring Iceland a bit. Great video!

    16. Luke Johnson on

      Awesome! Are you able to share a list of properties that you stayed in please? Or a website that shows some around the ring road? Thanks!

    28. Nancy Turek on

      I don’t save many Youtube videos but this is one of them. Recently returned from a trip to Iceland and your gorgeous videography makes me positively ache to return.

    30. Niclas Altendorf on

      Mate, this is the best vacation guide I've ever seen. No stories about yourself, you just talk about the places you're showing. Also, I've been to the west of Iceland and I think the selection of landmarks you chose was great, although I probably would have added Ísafjörður in the Westfjords, simply due to the towns backdrop, Akranes and it's old lighthouse, the Vestmanneyjar islands, the black sand beach at Vik i Myrdal and the plane wreck. However you should visit the plane wreck very early in the morning if you want to avoid tourists

      Hi Allan,
      Thanks so much for this awesome video, this is just so helpful to me and the best travel tips video I've ever seen.

      I'm planning a trip to Iceland in the first half of October, do you know if this will have a large impact on the roads available and the access to the your recommended activities here?

      Much appreciated 🙂

    35. Heiko Oberleitner on

      Allan, what a great video and planning guide for my upcoming trip next year. Questiion: the drone videos, especially of the volcano in the beginning were made by you personally?

    36. Marcello Lins on

      Were you staying along the coast during this trip, or picked one or two "base" cities to return to at the end of each day trip? Also, food seems like a challenge from what I can see on your itinerary. Would you recommend packing food / sandwiches for each day trip or are restaurants / places to eat readily available around the roads?

    39. Chaix on

      I wish I saw your video before travelling to Iceland. Unfortunately, at the time I did not know about some of the places like Stuðlagil :/
