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.

Stunning cave with icicles galore

My 12 year old and I loved this adventure. Finding the bus was super easy. Everyone was very friendly. Our tour guide was not only informative, but had a GSOH. The cave was stunning. I’m so glad we visited in the winter as the snow was expansive and beautiful to see on our journey to and from the cave.

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!

Amazing Perlan!

The volcano 3D show- words are not enough to describe it...The Aurora show is OK Ok ,since I hv seen a real one in Rejkavick City itself,while walking out to buy some fruits...Museum provides you a knowledge about this stunning country...I wish to visit PERLAN again one day in summer.....winter time it's better to avoid travelling to Iceland if you don't have aurora in mind since it's extremely windy and temperatures go well below the freezing point..

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.

Amazing private Golden Circle Tour

Our group of six had an amazing time on our private Golden Circle tour with BR Tours, booked through Viator. Every stop on the tour had the most incredible stunning sights. Our driver/tour guide Siggi was very informative, accommodating & friendly as well as an excellent, safe driver. Siggi never rushed us. We were able to tour all sights at our own pace. We also had a wonderful relaxing lunch at the cute and cozy tomato/ horse farm. Jon from BR Tours was my initial contact and responded to all questions without delay. Jon actually met up with us at the waterfall area of the tour to provide our group with crampons so that we could safely walk on the icy pathways. We really appreciated BR Tours going above & beyond which made for a most memorable experience.

Guide was exceptional

The Reykjavík tour company is amazing. Phenomenal tour and guide and driver were very good. They even went out of the way and did additional northern lights stop on their own initiative when it wasn’t part of tour. Very knowledgeable and clearly want Tourists to enjoy the experience

Fagradalsfjall Volcano Hike - Small Group Tour with Local Guide

Benjamin_S, Sep 2025

The guide made the experience exceptional

We got lucky to get Oddi as a guide. 100% hands down the best guide we’ve had on an excursion. Outrageously knowledgeable and courteous of all the people on the excursion. He does this hike all the time so he knows EXACTLY where is safe and where isn’t to walk when you’re on the volcano surface. Very unique and awesome experience doing this tour. Just be warned the hike up does take effort and time so prepare yourself with snacks, water and proper weather gear just in case Mother Nature turns sour. Does get extremely windy as you get higher on your hike be cautious of that. Would HIGHLY recommend this tour especially with Oddi
