Are all small group size tours around 18-20 people? If we want smaller, do we need to go private?

  • I feel like the tours are either 8-12 on a van, or 30 people on a bus. This is just a feeling though, I have no basis in fact.

  • That may depend on who you book through. Our small group tour was 10-12 in a van. You can always ask the company you're looking at.

    What company did you use, please?

    Hidden Iceland but I'm not sure they do small group tours anymore, or if it's just private/self driven.

  • Depends on what type of tour too.

  • Each tour company has their own definition of “small”. It would depend on how many different tours and the fleet of vehicles they have.

    If they have a bus it would usually be 15+ people.

    Some may consider 12-15 as small which would fit in to a medium van. Especially if they have a bus available.

    Some may consider 8-12 small which would fit in a small van. Perhaps it’s the only vehicle they have or the smallest they have.

    In this case it’s best to contact the tour company directly and ask.
