My "14 days in Iceland" itinerary is now available: 👉https://shop.allansu.com/b/Ahedb
This is an updated itinerary based on this video. It will cover topics such as car rental, accommodations, f-roads, and travel budget. It will include "Google Maps" hyperlinks to every location for easy wayfinding and you'll also find my "Custom Google Maps" for Iceland with saved pins and locations that follow the itinerary.

Other travel vloggers should watch this and learn. No annoying music, no stories about themselves, no pretending to act cute and funny. Just straight information and beautiful editing. I'm using only your 2 videos for our upcoming trip in July as our guide. Thanks!

This has to be the best travel video I've seen in a long time. Not only was it helpful but very enjoyable to watch. You've got spectacular talent, you should be proud of this video.

I'm Icelandic and I'm very impressed by your videos about Iceland. Very good production ❤

I would go to a movie theatre to watch your stuff. Your cinematic footage is insane

@ChloeRoseHarrison 4 years ago

Thank you so much for all the time you must have put into this. I recently went to Iceland myself, and used your video to help plan the whole trip, it was immensely helpful. The trip was so incredible I am now back watching your video again just to enjoy the country all over again... I already miss it!

I can’t believe this video exists. I’ve watched a bunch of videos and this one is faaaaaaar the best. Now I can finally be in peace and plan my trip. I have no words tell you how thankful I am.

@LC4311 3 years ago

Hey man, I usually don't write Youtube comments but just wanted to say that you created a beautiful travel itinerary. Amazing shots and clear info, thanks a lot!

@EarthUncutTV 4 years ago

What an absolutely beautiful video and what a ridiculously epic country Iceland is. I knew it was pretty but this hammered that home in ways I’ve never seen before. Thank you for producing this!

@aroundtheworld4k 4 years ago

Great job! This is the best guide of Iceland so far. Thanks for all the hard work. This helps me a lot with the research for my Iceland project ✌️

I can't believe how soothing and resourceful this video is.

@zahidibr 4 years ago

This was brilliant. From the visuals to the narration, makes me feel like I'm in Iceland already. Thank you!

This video is better than some movies.

@anandaaji571 3 years ago

Iceland is known as the land of ice, water and fire

This can be seen from the flag which has 3 colors, namely blue, white and red

The blue color symbolizes that Iceland has stunning seas, waterfalls, rivers and lakes and lagoons

the white color symbolizes that Iceland has snowy areas, has glaciers and stunning crystal ice caves

The red color symbolizes that Iceland has an active volcano

Am I the only one thinking budget being understated in 2025? Is inflation that bad?😂

@alexiastefansdottir6511 4 years ago

You´ve been to more places than me in Iceland, and I go there almost every year to visit family lol. But this was a really good itinerary! Most people just go for a week and do the golden circle, so they miss out on a bunch of amazing places.

@lolol637 3 years ago

This probably is my first comment on YouTube in all my years of using it. Probably (if not) the best travel clip I have ever come across.! Thank you.

Dear Allen, just returned from this year's 14 day Iceland trip and your video served us beyond the visual brilliance as well as guideline what sights to visit. It was also an inspiration to soak in the special atmosphere of this magnificent country and the experience of a longer road trip itself. The sights in Iceland south are numerous and lined up like on a chain, so after a long day it was merely hard to remember what we saw just in 12 hours.
Your videos can create the impression that Iceland is an empty, tranquil country for those who seek contemplation. Well , to be honest that is not the truth. Tourism is picking up again quickly and the major sights are 24/7 invaded by hordes of tourists in hunt for another useless and ever-same instagram selfie. Everybody seems to be in a hurry and these are not the spots to relax and enjoy the beauty. Obviously icelanders have decided for mass tourism without any limitation, and that's what happening now.
Nevertheless, if you deviate from the main track, go on a hike or just leave the ring road, there are plenty of opportunities to find your own quiet version of Iceland, and for this your videos are always an inspiration. Thanks for so many good emotions while watching them and carry on with your art !
