About the author

OUR STORY
A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.

Reviews

[Laura · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fairly broad guide of what to see and do, plus navigation around the Ring Road of Iceland. I think I prefer the more recent Lonely Planet guide that offers a bit more detail for hiking and other items (e.g. food, sights, etc.)

[Eduardo Martín · Rating 4 out of 5]

very good for a road trip in iceland. Since the ring road is the main road everybody has to do, the guide will help to identify the main spots where you need to stop.

[Kaspars Koo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Got both - this one and the regular Iceland guide. Can probably just stick with the regular one. Most of the information is a repeat and the regular one is thicker.

[Katarína Bozáňová · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you wanna hit a ring road this book is essential. Great information, many interesting detours plus writers do have sense of humor (at least the same one as me). Some comments really made me laugh.

I am hoping to drive Iceland’s ring road next year. This is the perfect book to guide that journey. Of particular interest to me are the many side excursions noted. Very well done and focused.

[Adam Yee · Rating 2 out of 5]

Difficult to read layout. Info no better than the full LP travel guide. Skip this one & just read that.

[Samantha M-Sch · Rating 4 out of 5]

Informative, I liked the pronunciation tips and random fun facts about this beautiful area.

[Janis · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lots of good information. Tiny print hard for old ladies to see, especially if it’s red.
