Iceland for Solo Travellers: Reykjavík & the Golden Circle – 5 Days
A short break for solo travellers, with flights from London and a room of your own.
5 days
From £2,529
Tour overview
This 5-day short break is designed for people travelling on their own, with a twin or double room of your own and no single supplement. Return flights from London are included, and a host and local guide look after the group. You stay four nights at a 3-star hotel in Reykjavík, with four breakfasts and three dinners.
A guided tour shows you the best of Reykjavík, from the fishing harbour and Parliament to the striking Hallgrímskirkja church. A full day on the Golden Circle takes in Thingvellir, the erupting Strokkur geyser and the twin falls of Gullfoss.

Your last full day is free, with options such as the Blue Lagoon or a whale-watching cruise, and departures in autumn and spring bring a chance of the Northern Lights.
The physical rating is low. This short break suits solo travellers who want a sociable first taste of Iceland.

Frequently asked questions
How do I book this tour?
Tap any "Enquire" button on the page and one of our travel specialists will be in touch within 24 hours (often same day). We'll confirm availability on your preferred date, run through anything you need to know, and only ask for the deposit once you've decided.
What financial protection do I get?
Every Travelisto booking is 100% financially protected. Your money is held in a ring-fenced Trust account until you return from your trip, and we are members of the Protected Trust Services scheme (PTS 6035). Most tours also include ATOL protection where flights are part of the package.
Do I need a visa for Iceland?
No, UK citizens can visit Iceland visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180.
Do I pay a single supplement?
No. Everyone has a twin or double room of their own at no extra cost.
Will I see the Northern Lights?
Autumn and spring departures give a chance on clear nights, but sightings are never guaranteed.
Which meals are included?
Four breakfasts and three dinners.
Who travels on this holiday?
Groups of 15 to 27 solo travellers.
Can you tailor the trip?
Yes — every escorted tour can be modified into a private tailor-made version with your own dates, adjusted pace, upgraded hotels and add-on extensions. Tell us what you'd like changed when you enquire and we'll quote it both ways so you can compare.
What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
If your international flight is part of your booking through us, we re-book at no cost. If you've booked flights separately, the tour's local team holds your transfer slot until you arrive. We strongly recommend a comprehensive travel insurance policy that includes delay and cancellation cover.
