Everything was seemless! I was worried before going as I was travelling with elderly parents and my 12 year old daughter. I opted to hire a car and questioned myself if this was wise! However I would thoroughly recommend it. The day was ours to plan and stop where we wanted. Parking in Reykjavik was easy and relatively cheap. Lots to see in Reykjavik and we loved the whale museum, aurora centre and Fly Over Iceland experience. Lots of restaurants and bars, places to walk to. The hotels (Centrium & Ranga) were clean and enjoyable (especially sitting in the outside hot tubs gazing at the stars at Ranga). In fact because we had a car/4x4, we ate only one night at Hotel Ranga (lovely but expensive), and ventured out to a nearby town the second night to eat in a local restaurant. The tours arranged were excellent (night aurora hunting with Siggy the guide who was fantastic) and river bed 4x4). A thoroughly fantastic break with so much to do and see!
