“We were picked up from the nearest bus stop in Reykjavik (tip: if you want hotel pickup instead of walking to the nearest bus stop, book a hotel that isn't in the city centre exclusion zone). The whole pickup process was seamless, no complaints there. Firstly, shout out to Paul who was our bus driver/tour guide (this company doesn't employ a seperate tour guide so the bus driver has to drive the bus, be the guide and organise everything). Paul was a warm and friendly local who knew Iceland like the back of his hand. He took us to little spots where he grew up and told us stories about…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 302 reviews · 3 days (approx.) · from $903

3-day Golden Circle and South Coast small-group tour from Reykjavik: glacier hike, ice cave, waterfalls, 2 nights, breakfast.

“This was a great option for two Southerners from the United States exploring Iceland in January. In a matter of a few hours, the weather would go from snowy to sleet to rain to beautiful blue skies, and it was helpful to have a guide who knew the weather conditions and exactly where to go on the roads even with occasional poor visibility. The tour itself was fantastic! We hit all the highlights of Iceland's southern coast in an extremely timely manner. Our guide was savvy enough to read when certain areas would be crowded or not particularly at the few and far between restaurants, so this helped us spend…”

9.3 Day Family Package

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 37 reviews · 3 days · from $341Best value

3-day Iceland family tour from Reykjavik with the Golden Circle, South Coast waterfalls and black sand, plus Snæfellsnes Peninsula.

“The three-day trip was good, but on the third day (28/09/2025), the guide named David, especially, was so unprofessional and disrespectful towards people on the bus. He targeted some people and was saying many things that were not needed. His English accent was not understandable, and sometimes we could not understand the context at all. Also, he was not mentioning the exact time during some of the intervals, and this made many people confused. Overall, the third day was boring and not enjoyable due to these issues. Apart from that, it was a great experience for the first two days, and the time management and choice of places were excellent.…”
