Reykjavik Private Tours was absolutely fantastic for our family trip to Iceland, and our guide Þröstur made the experience truly exceptional. From the moment he met us at the airport and took us to the Blue Lagoon, through the Golden Circle, South Coast, Reykjavík culture day, Snæfellsnes Peninsula, and finally back to Keflavík, everything ran right on time and completely stress-free. Þröstur was incredibly flexible with our family’s pace (including two teenagers!), adjusting stops, timing, and even our Northern Lights outing based on weather and conditions. His local knowledge—history, culture, stories, hidden tips, and the best viewpoints and food stops—turned every day into something special, not just a checklist of sights. We never felt rushed, always felt safe, and the itinerary they helped refine was exactly what we hoped for and more. I would highly recommend Reykjavik Private Tours, and especially Þröstur, to anyone looking for a personal, family-friendly way to experience Iceland.

Our experience with Reykjavík Private Tours went beyond our expectations. We did 2 private tours, one was a Golden Circle tour and the other was the South Coast tour with the Kayla Ice Cave tour built in to our package. The van was clean and comfortable. Our driver was Colin and he was exceptional. He was flexible with our plans. Easy going, and provided us with a wealth of information. Great company to book a tour with and would highly recommend.

His flexibility, prompt support, and attention to detail made all the difference, and his pricing was highly competitive. Thank you, Magnus, for everything — we sincerely appreciate your efforts.
