I’ve bought your Guide Plan to Iceland and glad I did, because it’s being priceless planning my trip to Iceland next June.

Claire, thank you so much for the terrific effort you have put into these guides. My wife and I are about to take our first trip to Iceland, driving the full circle over ten days. There are definitely places we will go to visit on your recommendation that we wouldn’t have known about otherwise.

Full disclosure
I want you to know exactly what you are getting.
- The guide is free from hotel, accommodation or restaurant recommendations because 1) I have not been to many of them 2) Owners change 3) I don't know your taste.
- The West Fjords deserve at least 2 days so they are not included in this guide
- All photos were taken by me, except for 3 of them
- For those wondering which book to choose, all the information in this book except the overview Ring Road map is also included in The Road Trip Guide - Iceland eBook, it is just presented slightly differently in this book. The Road Trip Guide - Iceland eBook is more complete with destinations further away from the Ring Road.
- No paperback version available

Since the platform works really well, these questions are not really frequent, but just in case:
- Is the paiement secure?
The paiement is through the Sendowl platform and via Stripe or Paypal - with SSL and encryption - Stripe is PCI compliant - I want to download on multiple devices. How can I do it?
In the receipt email, there is a link for you to download again (Max 8 downloads during a 6 month period from the purchase date) - I have not received my order email. What happened?
Firstly, it might take 15 minutes to arrive after the purchase;
Secondly, please check your spam folder as sometimes it ends up there;
If you really don't have it, go to the "About Page" on this blog and send me an email with the contact form. I have had the case where the person wrote a wrong email address - I downloaded the eBook on my iPad and can't find it anywhere. Where did it go?
Once you open it on the iPad or iPhone, you need to 'save to iBooks' or 'copy to iBooks' to save it on your device and have access to it permanently without the Internet
If you have any question, please use the contact form on the About page.
Thanks and Enjoy your trip to Iceland!
