Adriana was our private driver and she was wonderful! Met us right outside of baggage holding an electronic sign with my name on it. Lovely clean car and just enough pleasant conversation and music for the approximately 45 minute ride to our hotel. She even pointed out a couple of highlights along the way. I thought the price was reasonable for a private ride with my husband as I didn’t want to do a bus. If you can ask for the lovely Adriana, you should. Great start to my Iceland visit.

Drive was at arrival terminal with our names on a screen as we exited the baggage claim.
Driver was helpful, courteous and very friendly. Driver also was very informative, sharing information about Iceland’s history and geography. An completely enjoyable experience.
