What are people saying about Reykjavik

Benji_F, Nov 2026

Our guide Elfie was...

Our guide Elfie was fabulous. So knowledgeable and funny. She made the experience so fun. The food was great. A few of the dishes were amazing! It’s a fair amount of walking which was fine for us but if you aren’t very mobile that may be an issue for you. We enjoyed the tour through the city and learning history about the country and different buildings.

Guided Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach Day Trip from Reykjavik

Andrew_F, Nov 2026

Fun, even when the weather doesn't cooperate

Great trip. Excellent driver and tour guide. Plenty of time to relax while being transported between main sites. Tour makes stops at convince stores or road side diners to stretch and get something to eat (not include, but reasonably priced). If you arrange pick up at a bus stop, the provider will return you to your pickup location, not just drop you at the BSI terminal. Plan to get wet at the waterfalls or from weather, water resistant clothing and some hiking boots will make it much more enjoyable.

Northern Lights Small-Group Tour with Hot Chocolate & Photos

While we didn’t see any...

While we didn’t see any northern lights on the night we went it was not without effort! Our guide tried multiple spots and locations to try and see. Blankets were provided while we were outside which was great. Overall it was worth the effort. If the northern lights were viewable when we went we would have seen them on this excursion.

Golden Circle Classic Day Tour from Reykjavik

Dwayne_C, Oct 2026

It was an amazing tour. I can’t remember my tour guides name but I believe it started with a “B”. He was very knowledgeable and informative. The bus was very comfortable. We did the major stops and have ample time to take pictures of the beautiful scenery.

The Original Classic Whale Watching from Reykjavik

Helena_H, Oct 2026

Great experience

Enjoyable boat trip to try and see whales. We were very lucky to see two humpback whales and dolphins - playing together. Close by! Emily, the guide, was very knowledgeable and interesting. All the crew were very friendly. Slightly rough seas but fortunately we don’t suffer from sickness - free tablets for those that felt poorly available!!

This was an amazing experience! Jonas was the most dedicated guide, he made sure we saw the lights and was so ready to take the best photos. His attitude really made the experience so much more special! And of course we saw the lights and it was just perfect! The hot chocolate and cookies were also really good! Could not have asked for a better experience!!

Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater

Michael_P, Oct 2026

Special tour with great driver/guide!

This is a great way to see a lot of Iceland’s iconic scenery. We enjoyed our tour guide, Addi. He is a local that knew the history and didn’t waste a minute getting us from one great location to another. We ended up at the Blue Lagoon, which is a must do. It was a full day and a great day. Addi also recommended a local hot dog place, BBP, which was great. If we did this again, I’d want Addi to take us around.

Sky Lagoon Entrance Ticket Including 7-Step Ritual

Mary_A, Oct 2026

Great Spa experience and exciting way to start our trip to Iceland

We arrived at sky Lagoon directly after landing at the airport on a redeye flight. We were tired but excited to experience the seven step rituals. We debated between blue lagoon and sky Lagoon and ended up picking sky Lagoon and are very happy with our choice. Our booking time for 9 AM. It wasn’t very crowded. The amenities were lovely and we had showers stalls that allowed for private showering before entering the lagoon. This was a worry as I had read unless you booked a private shower you would have to showered communally but this was not the case with our basic ticket. The Lagoon itself provided a welcome reset and allowed us to shower again before setting off to see Reykjavík for the day. I would highly recommend Sky lagoon.

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

Eric_P, Oct 2026

Great package and way to experience Sky Lagoon!

I loved Sky Lagoon so much! My friend and I bought the Ser package and it was so worth it! The facilities were clean and I loved having a private changing facility! It was so relaxing spending time in the lagoon and the 7 step ritual was incredible! My friend and I missed our bus ride to Sky Lagoon unfortunately. We did not realize the actual bus was waiting for us at our pick up location. I do wish the instructions indicated the bus will say Pick Up and Drop Off on the back of the bus, as well as possibly indicate a bus number for reference. We ended up taking a taxi to the Lagoon and took the return bus home. Also, note this package does not include one free drink of choice from the bar; I got this mixed up with Blue Lagoon’s premium admission. Overall, I loved Sky Lagoon and can’t wait to go back!

Golden Circle and Glacier Snowmobiling Day Trip from Reykjavik

Super fun time and a...

Super fun time and a great excursion! How often do you get the opportunity to snowmobile on the 2nd largest glacier in Europe? The other stops were great too and we really appreciated how organized and informative our guide, Benedict, was. He was by far the best tour guide out of the 4 tour guides we had during our weeklong vacation.

Snowmobiling Adventure on Langjokull Glacier from Gullfoss

Amy_B, Jul 2026

Snowmobile a Glacier

The best part of this experience was feeling like you were on another planet. It really felt like you were immersed in Iceland and fully taking it in. The snowmobile was a little tricky to steer but the guides were great and quick to handle any situations. We are glad that we did this excursion!
