What are people saying about Reykjavik

Joanne_F, Apr 2026

Absolutely beautiful

This is an excellent tour. Our tour guide Richi and driver Magnus were amazing and helped to make it a most memorable day. I have never had a tour guide curate the music in the bus to go along with the sights. There were just so many of these little extra things that added to the experience. The glacier, the waterfalls, Black Diamond beach and the geiser helped provide us with an Icelandic experience. Would recommend.

Lava Tunnel Tour Including Transfers from Reykjavik

Louise_S, Apr 2026

Different perspective of Iceland

Transfer was smooth. Driver very impressive as we drove through a snowstorm and all you could see was white road and sky. Tour was really cool, I recommend taking the walking stick if you are going when its snowy. Thd guide was fantastic really funny and amazing sights and stories at one point all the loghts go out so be prepared if uou are taking younger children. Wrap up warm you are underground but temp is stable but like a fridge. Enjoyable tour

Golden Circle, Secret Lagoon and Kerid Crater Tour from Reykjavik

Kim_M, Mar 2026

Well-managed and informed

The driver and guide kept us on schedule and skillfully managed our group of 35. Our guide kept us informed with relevant information and history for each stop. They always let us know how long a certain hike or experience would take at each stop so we could manage our time well.

Bridget_K, Mar 2026

Anna! and Gregor

I’ve taking a lot of tours and Anna was absolutely at the top for the experience she provided. Friendly, funny, amazing story telling, patient and easy to connect with immediately which is impressive for such a big group. Our driver Gregor drove us around safely and kept the bus comfortable and clean. Highly recommend this Golden Circle experience. I wish I could have Anna guide us around the entire country!

Golden Circle & Secret Lagoon Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik

Sarah_S, Mar 2026

Knowledgeable and fun!

This experience was absolutely amazing. I traveled in a group of six including myself, and everyone was so warm and friendly. Our guide was one of a kind. His lived experiences and intense knowledge of the history made experiencing the golden circle much more immersive than if I did the drive myself (he was also able to accurately predict when the geyser would go off and the best way to film!) . The secret lagoon of course makes this tour special compared to others. I am so happy I ended up doing a tour. I would recommend any first-time visitors (especially during winter months) to do the circle guided and maybe self-drive next time during better weather.

Perlan Admission - Volcano & Ice Cave, Northern Lights Experience

Sam_E, Mar 2026

An excellent museum

Definitely worth a visit, all been done really well and the views are awesome to sit and enjoy with a coffee and delicious home made cake, and as you do your views change as you slowly revolve - it’s amazing how many dont even realise that’s happening! I went as soon as it opened so it was nice and quiet

Emily_W, Mar 2026

Amazing trip!

The trip was incredible and I really enjoyed the whole experience! Our original time got cancelled due to weather warnings but the team were very helpful at resolving this and offering the earlier slot. We did get stuck out in the snow for a while but this was bound to happen with the weather conditions and we all got back safely and only around an hour and a half later than expected.

Gilman_W, Feb 2026

Golden Circle Tour

Entertaining and informative tour with our guide Dominika who provided guests with a brief history of each site explaining the geology interspersed with local music and personal stories. Observed the incredible tectonic rift at Thingvellir, the breathtakingly frozen Gullfoss waterfall, steam vents and geysers including Stokkur water spout and finally a relaxing visit to the world famous Blue Lagoon. Definitely recommended.

Fagradalsfjall Volcano Hike - Small Group Tour with Local Guide

Laura_S, Sep 2025

Volcano and More Fun!

Oddi went above and beyond our expectations for this Volcano hike. He was very personable and adjusted the locations we saw and stopped at, based on our hiking abilities and what we wanted to accomplish. We had an amazing day experiencing the "warmth" of the 2021 eruption and seeing various hot springs. definitely would hike with Oddi again!
