(Thor)refic Experience

Great walking tour of Reykjavik with Thor. First off, he looks like a Viking which is worth bonus points. The stops were fun and informative and the guide showed a real sense of humor that was adapted to the group. Would highly recommend taking a walking tour with Thor

Private South Coast Tour from Reykjavik

Cathy_L, Aug 2026

Highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic tour with Bjarni! It was such a pleasure talking with him as he filled us in on Icelandic history, geography, culture, legends, and so much more. The views are gorgeous on the drive and the waterfalls, black sand beaches, glacier, coastline, and all are breathtakingly beautiful! Highly recommend this tour. What an amazing way to spend a day going to all the major sights, learning so much, and enjoying the journey. Definitely a highlight of our Iceland trip.

Private Golden Circle Tour by Luxury SUV from Reykjavik

Andrew_D, Aug 2026

Go with Siggi

A private tour with Siggi of AR tours is the best way to see sites on the Golden Circle. Siggi was a good and cheerful companion, came prepared with raincoats and umbrellas, drove carefully and took us to interesting sites, some of which were unfrequented by tourists. We enjoyed talking with him over the lunch in a greenhouse, and meeting a woman who maintains a wool shop and knits sweaters. He was very helpful at every stop. Very highly recommended

This is a great trip of...

This is a great trip of the golden circle. It’s private and the guide was very accommodating and knowledgeable. He gave us a great suggestion for dinner. It would have been helpful if he had a microphone because it was a little hard to hear him in the back of the van. But a wonderful trip and guide.

South Coast Day Tour Black Sand Beach & Waterfalls from Reykjavik

Jocelyn_P, Aug 2026

Black sand beach beautiful

The black sand beach was worth the trip for me. So beautiful (I am making it my new background photo on my computer). We did not get to see the ice glacier do to the government closing the location for safety. But our tour guide made a different stop and we got to see Puffins up close.

Icelandic Horseback Riding Tour with Pickup Option from Reykjavik

Beth_K, Aug 2026

Great time with people and horses.

A wonderful experience. From pickup to drop off, everything and everyone were great. The staff are knowledgeable, helpful and so friendly. They take care to ease any worries and enable those more experienced to go through the gates with the horses. They take care on safety with good equipment. And the horses are beautiful and wonderful. The ride gives a chance to take in the older lava friends and other scenery.

Wow factor 10/10.

What an amazing trip! We learned so much about Iceland and were able to experience some of the most magical things I have ever experienced. Our tour guide was incredibly personable and knowledgeable. Shout out to our (very cute) driver as well.. 14 hours behind the wheel is not easy. I highly recommend this tour,

As good as it gets

Incredible scenery, with trip stops thoughtfully planned and plenty of time to make the most of each. Our guide Bart was funny, kind, and shared truly interesting commentary. We are not typically group tour people, but would recommend this one to anyone without hesitation. Home run.

Private South Coast Tour of Iceland Including 6+ Main Attractions

Highly Recommend!!!

Our Private South Coast Tour with Joseph was a highlight of our trip!! He took us to all the beautiful locations in the South Coast, and was so flexible at each spot. We never felt rushed. He wanted us to enjoy our day, which we certainly did!! He knows so much about Iceland and it was really fun to learn from him. Plus, he was interested in learning about us and, by the end of the day, we had formed a friendship with him. In fact, at the end of our trip, we were flying home from Akureyri via Reykjavik and had a few hours to spare in Reykjavik, so we reached out to Joseph and he helped us with our luggage and transportation. I highly recommend reaching out to Joseph if you are visiting Iceland!!!

Airport Transfer: Keflavik Airport to Reykjavik Center in Iceland

JohnB_H, Jul 2026

Reykjavik airport transfer

Our airport transfer was as expected it should be except for the final stop. Effecient and comfortable to the main bus depot. We were delivered to Reykjavik in a large bus and transfered into smaller buses for the trip through the city. You are not actually dropped off at your hotel. In our case it was a 4 to 5 minute walk and fortunately it wasn't raining, hard. Probably not a big issue if you don't have a lot of luggage and/or are able to make a wee walk. I am not sure one has an alternative unless you opt for a more expensive option. Based on the cost of other options we would most likely use the service again.
