25 Best Waterfalls in Iceland: A Photographer’s Guide
Iceland is a country with no shortage of waterfalls. We often remarked when driving around that some of the waterfalls that would be a top ten attraction in any other country, wouldn’t even make a top 100 list of waterfalls in Iceland! The reasons for Iceland having so many great waterfalls, likely numbering in the […]

One Day in Paris: The Perfect 1-Day Itinerary
We love Paris. It’s one of our favourite cities in Europe, and one we’ve visited more times than we can count. Ideally, we’d want you to spend as long as possible here, but we know that’s not always realistic. Sometimes you have a layover, a day trip from London, or just a single day slotted […]

We’ve explored Iceland multiple times, driven thousands of miles across the country in every season, and taken day tours from Reykjavik with various operators. We’ve also taken guided group tours in countries from Egypt to Scotland, so we know the pros and cons of having someone else handle the logistics. The most common question we […]
