[Laura · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fairly broad guide of what to see and do, plus navigation around the Ring Road of Iceland. I think I prefer the more recent Lonely Planet guide that offers a bit more detail for hiking and other items (e.g. food, sights, etc.)

[Eduardo Martín · Rating 4 out of 5]

very good for a road trip in iceland. Since the ring road is the main road everybody has to do, the guide will help to identify the main spots where you need to stop.

Got both - this one and the regular Iceland guide. Can probably just stick with the regular one. Most of the information is a repeat and the regular one is thicker.

If you wanna hit a ring road this book is essential. Great information, many interesting detours plus writers do have sense of humor (at least the same one as me). Some comments really made me laugh.

I am hoping to drive Iceland’s ring road next year. This is the perfect book to guide that journey. Of particular interest to me are the many side excursions noted. Very well done and focused.

Difficult to read layout. Info no better than the full LP travel guide. Skip this one & just read that.

[Samantha M-Sch · Rating 4 out of 5]

Informative, I liked the pronunciation tips and random fun facts about this beautiful area.

[Janis · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lots of good information. Tiny print hard for old ladies to see, especially if it’s red.
