My wife and I spent 4 days in Reykjavik a couple of weeks ago, and we found this little gem of a book to be invaluable in guiding us through our first vacation experience in Iceland. Reading the book, it was clear that the author had lived there at some point, and more importantly, that she understood Icelandic people well. All the recommendations, whether for hotels, restaurants, tours, etc. were extremely helpful, and the recommendations were right on; none dissapointed. The map on the back of the book was even more helpful than the one we received at the hotel. In short, we carried this little book everywhere. Great Lonely Planet guide; I highly recommend it.
