What are people saying about Reykjavik

Kailey_L, Aug 2026

Once in a lifetime experience!

I have wanted to see puffins forever and when I saw we had a 16 hour layover in Iceland on the last day of the puffin tours, I booked it immediately. I was worried there would only be a few puffins but thankfully there were still so many on the cliffs and bobbing in the water. We brought our own binoculars and they gave us a pair - both were very useful as theirs were VERY zoomed in, but ours gave us a more clear picture of everything. The tour guide was great and very knowledgeable and the crew was friendly. We would highly recommend booking this if you want to see puffins and only have a short time in Iceland!

Walking tour of Reykjavik city

Kathryn_H, Aug 2026

Excellent tour

This was an excellent tour for gaining an understanding of the history of Reykjavik. Luca was an exceptional guide. He was very knowledgeable, personable, and entertaining. We learned a lot of history and saw areas we never would have discovered on our own. Luca also shared restaurant and activity recommendations, and he a fabulous job of making the entire tour very enjoyable for everyone. I would highly recommend Luca’s tour of Reykjavik.

South Coast, Diamond Beach and Glacier Lagoon Day Tour

Jami_T, Aug 2026

Glacier Lagoon was amazing

This is a loooong bus ride, with 10 of the 14 hours in a small coach bus. The Diamond Beach and Glacier lagoon were awesome and made the ride worthwhile. There’s an optional boat tour of the lagoon that was not offered thru Viator, but the driver was able to get tickets in advance while in the bus, I would definitely recommend.

Golden Circle, Secret Lagoon and Kerid Crater Tour from Reykjavik

Dennis_m, Aug 2026

Amazing Golden Circle Experience!

The Golden Circle with Kerid Crater & Secret Lagoon was an amazing experience! Lili was a wonderful tour guide & Illya was a great driver. Lili gave us much background information on every attraction we visited. She also played music from local artists to introduce us to local Icelandic pop music. The weather wasn't what we had hoped for, as it was a rainy, windy & cold day for August. It was still well worth the money. The lake at the bottom of Kerid Crater was beautiful. The Secret Lagoon was really welcome. The really warm water was very welcome on a cold day! It was very relaxing & great for the joints. It is in a very natural setting. The view is very nice & there are a number of small geysers & bubbling hot springs around the outside of the main lagoon with a nice boardwalk for viewing them. Gullfoss Waterfall was powerful & extremely impressive! It was so windy when we were there. The wind almost blew me over when I was trying to shoot a video of it. Strokkur Geysir was a bit disappointing. It is supposed to shoot water 25-30 meters into the air & erupt about every 10 minutes. We waited close to 15 minutes, & it only shot water about 10 feet into the air for about 2 seconds, with no warning. I missed getting a picture or video as it happened without any noise to warn you it was coming, & was finished so quickly. That's Mother Nature for you. Hopefully, your luck will be better. I really this was a great tour, well worth the money. Highly recommended!

Perlan Admission - Volcano & Ice Cave, Northern Lights Experience

DAVID_S, Aug 2026

Must do in Reykjavík

This is brilliant. Book before you go as it sells out. You get a timed sticker for Volcano, so tour the excellent exhibition on the various levels while you wait. Volcano is amazing. You just need to experience it. Ice cave afterwards is real ice and very interesting. Then go to the planetarium for the Northern Lights which is also brilliant.

Reykjavik Walking Tour - Walk with a Viking

Deirdre_J, Jul 2026

A tour by a proud Icelander

Our tour guide was amazing. He was so knowledgeable. You could tell that he is very proud of his county and heritage. Our group was small, a total of 3. I was traveling with my adult daughter. There was one solo traveler with us. She was the one that asked most of the questions and he had an answer for every question. It was our second time to Iceland. We decided to do a walking tour this time. There is more to Reykjavik than the Rainbow Road. I took note of his name in my phone but not sure if it did auto correct. I have his name as Binary. If that is wrong I am sorry. Tall, very long dark hair. I am not sure if it was his great grandfather, or another relative, that was confronted by the only polar bear in Iceland. That was a great story.

South Coast, Waterfalls and Black Beach Tour from Reykjavik

rosaria_b, Jul 2026

South coast wonders

This was an amazing adventure. Was able to see all the main areas of Iceland on our list. Raining a lot but the tour guy and bus driver brought us to areas of less rain in the area first and then back to the other spots so we were able to see all the sights and take amazing pictures

Unforgettable day in Iceland !

Golden Circle & Secret Lagoon Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik

Morgan_F, Jun 2026

A True Highlight of My Trip

The host was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone had the best possible experience. The group was respectful, welcoming, and well-paced throughout the day. At every stop, our guide took the time to thoughtfully explain the history, geology, and significance of each site while still keeping us on schedule. What really stood out was the attention to detail—he even showed me the best way to film the geysers in slow motion and shared photography tips that made a huge difference. It was those small, thoughtful moments that made the tour feel personal rather than rushed. You could tell he truly cared about making sure everyone had a memorable experience, whether that meant answering questions, helping with photos, or making sure we had enough time to take everything in. I absolutely recommend this tour. It was informative, well-organized, and one of the highlights of my trip.

Golden Circle, Kerid Crater & Geothermal Lagoon -Small Group Tour

Paul_Z, May 2026

A Memorable Trip

What a great trip to see some of Icelands best sights. Lots of interesting commentary from the driver throughout. Extinct volcanic craters, geyser, waterfalls, geothermal park and all on the tour. The highlight though was Hvammsvik geothermal pools, a 2 hour stop that will last in my memory for a long time. Don't forget to have a quick dip in the ocean as well!
