What are people saying about Reykjavik

Golden Circle, Volcano Crater and Blue Lagoon Small-Group Tour

Corey_T, Mar 2026

Golden Circle lived up to the name

Fantastic tour of the golden circle in Iceland! We got to see so many beautiful sights and it was nice to not be on a huge crowded bus like the cruise lines provided! We had a fantastic guide and he was both patient and knowledgeable. Blue Lagoon was also a treat -- what an experience! Would definitely recommend.

Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland

Cherisse_B, Mar 2026

Good Times, Good Food, Good Drink

It's a very short walk from restaurant to restaurant. The food that was served provided a great introduction to the cuisine of Iceland; in fact, it was way better than the food I've had on other food walks (in other locations). "Lenny" was knowledgeable, entertaining, and engaging. Our group of 9 had a great time meandering the streets, tasting the food and drink and learning about Iceland.

Lava Show Reykjavik Admission Ticket - Optional Premium Upgrade

HelenSusan_M, Mar 2026

Great show

Great informative show. Glen was very knowledgeable and has a vast interest in volcanos. It was worth getting the premium package as this includes a lounge area to sit in pre and post show with a bar. You get a free drink on arrival which includes a choice of 4 cocktails that you can take into the show. You sit upstairs on the balcony so a great view and you don’t need to wear safety goggles like the folk sitting downstairs. There is a short extra video at the end showing how they get the lava and you get a piece of lava rock in a velvet pouch to take home.

Iceland South Coast Full Day Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik

Kim_M, Mar 2026

Rain or Shine, a Good Tour

You hit all the big south coast spots (weather allowing). It was a rainy day with big winds when we went but not enough to cancel the tour. Our driver always kept our safety in mind, particularly with the Black Sand beach. He told us tales from his childhood in South Coast before big tourism came into Iceland. Paul maneuvered the roads expertly. The road to the glacier was closed due to the weather but I would definitely take this tour again with Paul as our guide.

Golden Circle and Glacier Snowmobiling Day Trip from Reykjavik

Ruth_R, Mar 2026

Do it, you won't regret it!

Great whistle stop tour of Thingvellir National Park geological attractions, mid atlantic ridge, fissures, Geyser and other hot springs, gullfoss waterfall. Our guide Dillon was attentive and knowledgeable. Well paced with educative and folklore history. Really liked that he used a visual time sign for when to return to coach, especially good for those who don't speak English or are ND. Snowmobiling was great fun. It takes lot of strength to control in the wind, with the leaning side to side so you do need to have a basic level of physical fitness. Warm overalls, buff, helmet and gloves were provided on the day. So glad we had taken a bungie to keep the phone/camera safe whilst filming as its a very bumpy ride. Exhilarating and absolutely breath taking scenes on the glacier. It was stunning! Highly recommend lunch at the Geyser visitor centre, one of cheapest we found was self service canteen. There is a water refill point in here too. Toilets available at every stop so no idea to worry when heading out for the long day. Coach was comfy, well heated and had usb points for phone charging. A bonus compared to other companies.

Best tour in Iceland! ...

Best tour in Iceland! Our driver and tour guide, Monika is A M A Z I N G!! Best tour and best tour guide! Monika gave us history and information on most of the sites we passed while driving! She took care of all the passengers from start to finish, even providing us with crampons to make sure everyone stays safe. This is the best tour of our whole trip in Iceland and Monika is definitely one of the reasons why. Can't recommend highly enough!

Golden Circle Classic Day Tour from Reykjavik

Mai_W, Mar 2026

Travelling with a 2 year old on bus tours!

We are a couple travelling with a two year old from the UK. What you need to know about bus tours with small children in Iceland is that they need to have a car seat, we brought one with us as we found the request for a seat doesn’t mean the bus turns up with one. No car seat, no bus tour. The bus was easy to locate at the bus station and the guide, ours was Albert and drivers name was Bartek, were friendly and professional. My 2 year old immediately made friends with Albert. The bus was clean and comfortable but there were signs for no eating or drinking on it which wasn’t necessarily ideal for a young child but there are opportunities to eat lunch off the bus. The actual tour destinations and drive to get there were scenic and spectacular although as to be expected very busy with tours. For those, like us who were not really sure what to do and are first time visitors here then it’s a good way to get some of the popular tourist destinations in with someone else doing the driving!

Small-group Golden Circle Classic Tour from Reykjavik

Catherine_V, Mar 2026

Beautiful sights, great driver

Our tour driver, Guna, was wonderful. She was very informative, thoughtful and kind. She was helpful to those that needed assistance and also did a good job of corralling stragglers who didn’t return to the bus on time. We came in March and there was unexpected extreme snow and she did a great job navigating the terrain and keeping us informed. Great experience overall. Only thing to note would be that the description says there is Wi-Fi and usb charging on the bus - there was Wi-Fi but no charging ports in our specific bus. I didn’t need them but heads up to not count on having charging capabilities.

Sky Lagoon Ticket with 7-Step Ritual and Transfers from Reykjavik

Jackie_W, Mar 2026

We enjoyed the lagoon at...

We enjoyed the lagoon at sunset the best. While the ritual was okay, most won’t find it to be worth the price. Found out later that they have local indoor/outdoor public pools that give a much cheaper option BUT If you’re looking for a good tourist experience this is the one I would recommend.

The Original Classic Whale Watching from Reykjavik

chloe_c, Feb 2026

Amazing!

Definitely recommend this tour. There is loads of room on the boat for indoor and outdoor seating. The boat was massive so although other tours had cancelled on the day we went on the boat you couldn’t feel the waves. The boat was well staffed with a marine biologist providing fun and engaging commentary about the wildlife, they even took pictures and emailed them to us after the trip. We saw the whale banana and he came up to the surface so many times it was magical! 100% recommend this tour.

Sky Lagoon Entrance Ticket Including 7-Step Ritual

Barri_S, Feb 2026

Great day at Sky Lagoon

We loved our time here we came to watch the sunset and got to see it from the outside water and also the big huge plate glass window in the sauna room. It was awesome! We did not do the cold plunge because it’s outside and the temperature was in the teens. Nobody was getting in the water that day in the cold plunge! The staff was great and we opted for the private changing area. It was very much worth it as you got a shower by yourself and could change and had a locker. We took a city bus there and had to walk quite a bit to get to the Sky Lagoon, but it was worth it.

Snowmobiling Adventure on Langjokull Glacier from Gullfoss

Louise_B, Jan 2026

Family

Fantastic snowmobiling activity. We were a family of 4. Drove to Gulfoss waterfall meeting point. Seemless, fun transfer on the monster bus to the glacier. Unique experience with fantastic views whilst on the glacier. Worth taking drinks and snacks as roughly an hour to the base camp and back again.
