I traveled there in July/August. I didn’t like the continued rudeness from retail workers. A lady in front of me in line at a bakery in Vik, asked if they had anything with an egg. The gal ripped into her and said no. And I had problems in the shops. I spent 6k on my trip, I don’t deserve to be with such rudeness.

Thanks for the all the great advice. We visited in mid February and had a wide range of weather conditions. We were fortunate to have great conditions on our south coast tour, so the waterfalls, diamond beach, black sand beach and ice cave excursions were fantastic. And the sky was perfectly clear for an amazing northern lights display. On the only day with truly bad weather, we stayed in Reykjavik and walked though the wind and snow to see some of the sites. The next day was warm and we got shopping done. The most impressive thing about the trip was the food! Every meal was different, but all of them were excellent. Even the other tourists were pleasant. 😀

Luckily I like lamb and fish and I love skyr. Trying the traditional food is on my bucket list. I don’t really think "bad weather" exists, only bad clothing (growing up in the alps teaches you a few lessons)

Tourists complaining about other tourists always cracks me up. Lol Glad to see you back and hope your trip was great!

We just got back from Iceland and LOVED it. The food was fantastic, people were so nice, accommodations were very nice... thank you Iceland for great memories...

I stumbled upon your channel and you brought a smile and a a big LOL 😂 you ROCK! Enjoyed every minute-I had the pleasure of visiting your beautiful country 4 years ago and loved every minute of it! Weather and all!! Even had a random marriage proposal from one of the native Icelanders-🥰

Headed there next month Can’t wait, thanks for sharing From Florida here ✌🏼👍

On our trip back in 2016 we went full circle except for the Westfjords and we tried to see as many things as possible in only two weeks. We saw so much but I know if we are to go again, we'd stil have so much to see. I also can't complain about the food, I'm vegan and I actually gained 2 kilos there. In many places there were more plant options than in my home country, Slovakia. That leads me to the no.1 reason, yeah, I hated leaving. So now I know why. Also everyone was super nice to us, although one of our hosts, when he came back home and found us in his kitchen greeted us with "Oh, you're still here?" But of course, we all laughed about it. Other host even gave us a big bag of cucumbers. Love Iceland and hope to come back someday. ♡

😂 I absolutely love the Icelandic humour. Straight to the point in a subtle way! By the way, my new discovery, your channel! 😊

Loved loved Iceland. Just came back from a 14 day life experience! One thing we would beg Icelanders to have…. Are…. laundromats! We got soaked everywhere… and being on camping sites … sometimes, if lucky, there would be 1 washer/dryer for the entire campground. We would have to wait until around 2am to see if they would be free. Once we slept in the floor next to the machines to keep our place in the line. We were later told that some larger cities do have a laundry 🧺 service… but when one looks for “laundromat nearby” nothing other than a restaurant in Reykjavik comes up. This may be a lucrative business for an entrepreneur…. We would’ve paid anything to dry up our soggy clothes 😵‍💫

You didn’t mention the smell. I love fish and lamb, the weather didn’t bother me, even the staring of the local didn’t bother me --but that all pervasive sulfur smell in the air and in the water bothered me just a little. You can’t really get away from it. It smells as if you’re in a room where someone has recently farted. That being said, I loved Iceland and would love to go back- I especially loved Snaefellsnes..

Brilliant video, as always!

Great & fun video! I just finished a 2 week trip to Iceland. Loved every aspect of this amazing country! The natural beauty & grandeur is phenomenal. The food was amazing. Especially the local lamb & seafood. The weather was truly part of the adventure. Be prepared for it & you will enjoy more quality time outside. Lastly & most important the people were great! I made so many Islandic friends around the entire island. People were friendly, helpful & personable. My experience was amazing & so can't wait to go back. This country is truly a global treasure! Thanks for the enjoyable content. I however could not find anything to dislike during my trip. Best wishes.....

Great video Karl👍👍😎

We enjoyed our latest visit to Iceland! Good weather/bad weather...hey, it happens. We did have two glorious meals...Fridheimar Tomato Farm and Narfeyrarstofa! Even had a lamb burger from Plan B Burgers! We explored further afield from our previous short visit...maybe next time...full ring road!! Thank you for your videos; very informative and entertaining!!

You went to London. Central London! Fish and chips are a bit cheaper outside of central London. There are daily flights to Manchester from Keflavík. Should have come here. I love Iceland and have been going there since 1997 when my kids were little. I won't be a hypocrite and complain about the bloody tourists but I WILL say I'm so glad I got to see it before the tourist explosion. I got to swim in the Blue Lagoon when it was in a different place (just up the road) and there was just a wooden building with a shop and some changing rooms. There weren't many other people there and they were mostly Icelanders. When we went to Gullfoss there were only the four of us plus a young German couple. No buildings, just a shelter with an information board. Happy days.

Brilliant! Love this (and Iceland).

hahah, thanks for making these man. Hilarious and super helpful! My wife and I are planning a fall trip in 2 years and we'll be watching through all these! Is September or October better for visiting?

Can’t wait. It’s an adventure. Love your vibe.

Great video. Ég elska Skyr!

You deserve more viewers. Give your opinions about touring the volcano right now. At least maybe grow the channel at this opportune time. Many Blessings from USA, It is my wish to visit your country someday and exchange rudities with folk who hate small talk as much as I do.

Love this channel found it a few days ago.Takk! Also #4 for you Americans looking for a burger. You can not do better than Tommi's burger joint.

We spent a month in Iceland last summer. A great experience. I recommend the Whale Museum in Husavik. The westfjiords were incredible, trekking in Hornstrandir Park in the very northwest corner. My favorite museum was the museum of everyday life in Isafjordur. Very small, but it made a huge difference to our trip that we visited this museum on our second day. Loved the National Museum in Reykjavik too. Vik was a big disappointment - way too many tourists! Better to go there off season.

If I could afford to, I would retire to Iceland. Probably Akureyki. Time for more coffee.

Your contexts of subject are hilarious. Deadpan Man. Hope to run into in line at BBP this summer. And not all of those other crazy tourists like us. Bleck! Tourists 😂

Haha I’ve been to that northeast corner and can confirm it’s not a shithole. It may not have the same “wow factor” as other parts of Iceland but it is so quiet and desolate in a way that is a little bit eerie but mostly very calming. The Langanes peninsula in particular felt like the end of the world. Just you, the birds, and the wind. What is one place in your own country you haven’t been to that you’re excited to visit?

top man , 😂sound vice, 🤣 I can't wait travelling you country 😊 couple of weeks time 👍

We absolutely LOVED Iceland! We’re Aussie but were living in Eastern Canada at the time, making the journey significantly easier! December was just magical. The only thing i didn’t like was the price of beer. Guys, your happy hour is still not happy. It’s normal hour! Nonetheless, we loved ur majestic country. I convinced some friends to go who also loved it. The people are great. Their efficiency is MUCH appreciated. We were genuinely shocked as to how fast & efficient the plane boarding situation was!!! Genuinely AMAZED! I wish you weren’t 180° around the planet, I want to be there in summer xxxxxxxx

GREAT video.....😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣 thx for the laughs

Did I see disc golf discs when you showed your repair kit? Is there disc golf in Iceland?

What about the labradors are there enough of them or not?

I love trying local foods (don't do shellfish though) so what would you recommend trying? Love lamb, eat fish (if sustainably caught)...but open to pretty much anything else. I don't go to another country to eat pizza and pasta (unless Italy) or burgers (USA) etc...I want to try native dishes

I can’t wait for next year to experience all the things tourists hated about Iceland :)

I've changed a flat tire on the road at 2am in the dark.. in the pouring rain back in the olden days..Kids these days are spoiled. Going to visit Iceland next month. Hello from Sweden. Right now we're having our few rare days of Summer this year. I'm expecting rain & fog but also hot springs. Hope I don't hate it. 😌

free collage degree :D However icelanders do eat weird stuff, the fermented shark or the sheep head is definitely at least an extravagant choice.

I was there in 1993... 1996.. & 2022. Amazing how many more tourists there in 2022.. I feel like it partly ruined it due to commercialization.

A talker! good job

The biggest thing I hated about Iceland. The rental car had crappy tires. Comments on your list: 5) Bring on the loneliness. We visited Iceland in September. We were up and out on the road around 7am every morning. We were at most places before tourists arrived. 4) N1 Hot Dogs were amazing. Beer was over priced. 3) Crappy tires was more of the problem. We got a flat from a rock smaller than a pea. If the Land Rover had better tires, it would not have caused a flat. 2) We are already planning our next visit!!!!! 1) We had AMAZING weather. Most days were high temps of upper 50s Fahrenheit. The night before we left had gale force winds. Iceland is an amazing place.

Ha, I enjoyed this mate, I'll be visiting Iceland in 2023 so unfortunately I'll be one of those tourist.. Consider me a new sub..

showering before using the spa, or more accurately, showering with others. nothing wrong with keeping clean, or being clean when visting the pools etc but a little privacy please!

First thing: leaving❤️

If things were perfect people wouldn't have anything to complain about and what fun would that be?

are we related? In 1883 great grandfather Halldor Johnson(born 1841) wife Engibjorg and kids Gummi,John, Thuridur came to Nebraska. Halldor's sister Gudrun(born1853) came in 1889. Also met a cousin, Groa Petersdottir when she was an exchange student in Ohio. Family farms were at Keldur and Evandarmula

I love your dry sense of humor and your honesty! I am a 3rd generation Icelandic American living in Blaine, WA. Your personality traits live on in my family.

I loved everything

That's wild, I loved EVERYTHING about Iceland but somehow I never noticed any police and had some of the best weed I've ever had in my life... all 3 times I went o_o I'm so oblivious (and lucky I guess). The wind gets a little intense but nah Iceland rules!

He's right. I experienced some mild rudeness... Considering I was born in NY.. I know about rudeness.

Many Icelanders do indeed like eating shark, it is, for instance my teenage son's favorite snack.

belive it or not, i got tourists from germany which complain about they can´t see the Aurora during SUMERTIME, other complain about the darkness in the wintertime, very often tourists are very uninformed on which island they are going and know things better than the locals...

Change a tire? More than half of new cars have no spare.

Yep. Exactly. 😉

The high price of alcohol is enough to drive one to drink!

What about the midges. I read they can be very annoying.

​ @TimeWarpIceland I didn't know this, but according to the Global Peace Index (GPI), Iceland hold's the world number 1 spot for world's most peaceful nation, and has since 2008, to current year 2023. Anyone surprised? I was, but the more I thought about it, it makes sense!

That was hilarious

LOL. Ég verð að segja að þú ert lúmskulega fyndinn, landi. Góð Íslands kynning.

🇵🇹👍🏻🇮🇸

Don't konw where that American guy is coming from - I found all Icelanders very polite and always helpful. On the other hand, Yanks can be pretty rude and they swear a lot.

fermented shark was the only thing i did not like about iceland.

Geiðveikt. Video

If your humour is typical I think I'll have a laugh in Iceland

😂😂😂😂

Love Iceland. Do avoid the west side of Dettifoss, though. Rangers become extremely unfriendly, if not aggressive if you don't follow their overly strict rules to the point. Visit the eastern side of Dettifoss which has no rangers or barriers (at least not in 2019). It's up to your own responsibility and assessment where you go and how close you approach any cliffs. Stay safe !
