Diane_D, Apr 2026

Great way to see Iceland scenery with a personal touch

Jon is personable, informative and accommodating. He will take you down some back roads to find the hidden side of Iceland. While there were only two of us, he can accomodate a larger group with a different vehicle. I have already encouraged my son to contact Jon and go with a group of friends.

Icelandic Horseback Riding Tour with Pickup Option from Reykjavik

Joanne_B, Apr 2026

Great experience had a lovely time

Amazing experience went with my non riding husband the pick up was easy and on time. When we arrived at the centre we were asked about out riding experience and given a suitable horse. I went with the experienced group and we did tolt and had some lovey fast canters. Husband went with the slower group and just walked and admired the scenery. Had a nice drink when we got back and were then dropped back off at the pick up point. Very friendly staff would go there again.

Fantastic Tour. Our tour...

Fantastic Tour. Our tour guide/driver Walter did an awesome job in showing us around Iceland, no dull moment during the tour. Towards the evening, the weather started to get rough with heavy winds and icy conditions but kudos to Walter for driving so well. thank you keeping us safe the whole time.

Whale Watching Tour with Professional Guide from Reykjavik

Leann_S, Mar 2026

Great experience!...

Great experience! Everything went as planned, the guides were enthusiastic and funny. We were lucky to see whales and dolphins. Dress warm as it gets very windy if you are on the top upper decks. It was nice there is indoor seating if you want to warm up. Take something for sea sickness ahead of time.

Airport Transfer: Keflavik Airport to Reykjavik Center in Iceland

Christine_D, Mar 2026

Easy, the bus was waiting...

Easy, the bus was waiting for us at the airport as we cleared customs and got our luggage. I suggest you purchase the transfer from the main bus terminal to your final destination (hotel) in advance. I purchased the transfer at the bus terminal in Reykjavik and missed the first bus, good news only had to wait 20 minutes for the local bus to come back to the terminal.

Private Food Walking Tour in Reykjavik

Don_D, Mar 2026

Food Fun

We had a great time with Bo as he walked us through Reykjavík sampling traditional foods and sharing historical and cultural stories about Reykjavik and Iceland. Bo made sure the various venues knew it was my wife’s birthday making the tour that much more special. We would definitely recommend the private tour with Bo.

Reykjavik: Glacier Lagoon, Diamond Beach & South Coast Day Tour

Adam_C, Mar 2026

A must do tour! Incredible

This is a MUST DO. We had an absolutely fantastic day. The day is long and busy but so worth it. The bus was brand new and very smart / comfortable. We made 3 extra stops along the way so got to see extra waterfalls and an extra glacier. The stops are frequent enough so that it doesn’t feel like you’re sat on the bus for hours. Big thanks to our guide Evaluna for making the day so special. Your passion for this beautiful country shows and this was a very memorable day. The south coast is stunning - we preferred this tour to even the golden circle. Thanks!

Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk

Damian_G, Mar 2026

Excellent walking tour with a local guide.

Marteinn was brilliant - engaging and knowledgeable. A couple didn't manage to get there on time, but he did as much as he possibly could to ensure they could catch us up, which, unfortunately for them (because they missed a great tour experience), they didn't. As a local, we learned a huge amount about Icelandic and Viking history from him, right up to the present day. He demonstrated a good sense of humour and shrewd level of awareness to encourage debate without getting too controversial. The group was small (8, but should have been 10) and that made it feel more personable. Not too strenuous physically and taken at an easy pace, with the occasional opportunity to shelter from a biting wind and he ran perfectly to time. Marteinn was able to give guidance and recommendations on how to get the best from our holiday as well. He showed genuine interest in his guests and we felt valued as a result. A great experience. Thank you Marteinn.

Private Golden Circle Tour from Reykjavik

Cat_P, Feb 2026

Personal and interesting

I’ve done tours and experiences in the past in Iceland and have found that you essentially follow the same formality. With a personal tour you can choose how long or shorty you stay somewhere and have the flexibility to add extra stops and see more things than on a larger tour. The guide was so experienced and told stories along the way…worth the money!

MartinFreshy, Nov 2025

Interesting guided tour of Reykjavik

Our guide Bo was fabulous and struck the right balance between local knowledge and history, political humour, stories and legends. It was a very relaxing couple of hours at a leisurely pace and we left knowing more than we could have learnt had we wandered around on our own. Would thoroughly recommend.

CATHERINE_F, Jul 2025

Great afternoon with Thorir in Reykjavik.

Great introduction to Reykjavik. We drove all around town with Thorir, who provided an excellent background information about Iceland and Reykjavik history, politics, religion, city life, things to see and do, shopping etc etc. Very comprehensive and interesting! Went to Aurora Borealis Museum and lava flow adventure in Harpa Coference Center. Thorir was a great guide--very knowledgeable, flexible and friendly. Would recommend this tour as a great way to start your visit to Reykjavik and Iceland!

Blue Lagoon Admission Ticket Including Transfer

Michael_H, Jul 2025

You must experience the Blue Lagoon!

The Blue Lagoon was awesome an experience and we would do it again. We found 2 hours was enough time for us. The bus ride was comfortable and interesting scenery/topography enroute to the Blue Lagoon. We are on a cruise, and we amazed at the difference in between Reykjavik and other ports. Beautiful country! The only negative comment is my wife wanted private a changing room and we booked the premium package with a "comfort entrance" and even messaged tour operator after we arrived in Reykjavik about "private changing rooms" we were assured we had this included. There are no private changing rooms. It really is no big deal, as there are multiple separate rooms, for both men only and women only and it was not an issue. The staff was very helpful.
