I hope you are renting a car and can get the heck out of Dodge and see sites before they are overwhelmed with hundreds of people in nature spots that are best viewed by a few dozen at most!

@ljandgb already gave you the best answer. I asked you three questions to try to help you and you answered one of them, that's not enough info for anyone to help you.

It is a town of 500 people. There really isn't much to "do" right there beyond viewing the beautiful fjords. I'm surprised there is even one local tour company. If I was taking a cruise with a stop here, I'd either snag something with the tour company or book something thru the cruiseline, who I am sure is getting all the tour guides from a wide area around Djupivogur to handle their excursions. This is one of the reasons I always tell friends to do land tours of Iceland instead of cruises. It is so much easier to explore the country by car than it is by tour bus. Iceland is all about nature and solitude, not the cruise experience. And we LOVE cruising but not in places like this.

I am not familiar with this tour. I see that you have done some good research on TripAdvisor, the Iceland board there is very strong. Maybe ask this question there where you have many more experienced Iceland travelers?

I'd ask on the Halifax forum over at TripAdvisor. You are much more likely to reach locals there and other folks who know Halifax better than cruisers who are unlikely to be looking for a barber

Every cruiseline is different. Give us more info, like what ship, what date, if this is the embarkation port or a stop, etc.

Have you emailed them at the contact address on their site? Google Maps shows it to be a 15 minute walk from the Emskip terminal, where you can see a cruise ship docked on their satellite view

Sorry you had a bad experience! Where did you find this company? I hang out on the TripAdvisor Iceland forum -- we've been to Iceland 5 times (so far) and I don't recall that company ever being mentioned there. I'd estimate that board is at least 5x as busy as this one, possibly more, so the info is current and useful. The TA Iceland forum is a very strong one, with locals and other regular visitors recommending tour companies, rental cars, hotels, etc. Definitely worth running something as important as this by the group over there. Same with many other locations, you can't just trust websites and Facebook or whatever for recommendations. Honestly, there are VERY few complaints about tour companies in Iceland. You might want to repost your experience there to give folks a heads up. I ate at the tomato farm on our last visit. It's a hard reservation to get! I'm also not a tomato fan, but I wasn't making all the choices. I had the pasta, I don't mind tomato sauce, and the bread was SO good I enjoyed the meal overall

Boston Coach is the only one I've ever used. Never heard of the other two and I lived in Boston for 50 years. Malden Car Service sounds like something you'd use coming from or going to the suburb of Malden, north of the city. What kind of siteseeing are you looking to do? I bet a cab would take some detours for you, with the meter running of course

To be honest, I googled it. Wasn't hard to find the official info

Big portions shouldn't be an issue. Dry bread? I've never heard that or had that there. And the service is part of the atmosphere. Plenty of other delis still in NYC

The parade runs in lower Manhattan. Historically, the furthest north it gets is the starting point on 5th Avenue at 25th Street, then it heads down to the West Village. Actual route for this year isn't published yet, as far as I know. If you are just going to the Manhattan Cruise Terminal then you will be nowhere near the parade route and it should have zero affect on your travel

NYC is the safest large city in the world. You don't need an escort to go outside in Times Square at night. It is FULL of tourists, SAFELY having a wonderful time. I've been in Times Square at night at least 100 times in the past 10 years. My tiny wife has been there with me most of the time, but she goes there without me as well.

Please note that I mentioned over on TRIPADVISOR, which is a different website.

That assumes internet is available. I honestly have no idea how strong the signals are in Greenland locales

I've never heard of them and I visit the Iceland forum over at TripAdvisor just about daily. You might want to ask over there for recommendations as it is a very highly visited board and has lots of advice. Let folks know where you are going to be and what you want to do and who you are (family with kids, seniors, etc). The more specific info you can give the better advice you will get

Plenty of shows are 3 hours long, make sure you check run time before you assume a show will be shorter

Which cruiseport? If Manhattan, as long as the show is done by 5PM you could even walk back from most Broadway theaters in about 35 minutes or less For Brooklyn or Bayonne you'd need more time

I've never heard of a tour in Iceland selling out a year in advance, other than some highly specialized winter hiking excursions, or similar exotic offerings.

If the "bus" in question is the MBTA Silver Line, it's not really a bus. Although there are a few MBTA bus lines that do go from the port area to downtown and they are all quite tame. I've taken them multiple times. As long as you have the proper fare (check the website) there should be zero adventure

For what it's worth, @toucan49,Getyourguide is a third party booker (like Viator and others), not a direct provider. In places like Iceland, third parties are a bad idea because weather can change plans in an instant, and getting communication from a traveler to the provider or the other way on short notice is risky. I generally don't recommend using third parties to book excursions at all, unless there is a strong, compelling reason to do so, like the provider just doesn't offer direct booking.

Expect a driver for a day in Iceland to run around $1000+ You can find a good option by contacting any of the major tour companies like Troll and Arctic Adventures and asking about a private tour.

We've gone a few times, so we think so. Others don't go because they don't think so. If I knew you REALLY well I could tell you if it would be "worth it" for you. But I don't so I can't. We lived 90 minutes away so Newport was a regular destination for us. We did and saw just about everything that gorgeous place has to offer over the years. Do you have something else that appeals to you more?

I've done the mansions a few times, most recently in 2022. Never had to wait more than 2-3 minutes to get inside.

Did you see their "How to Get Here" on their website? https://www.geosea.is/en/how-to-get-here
