"Everything about this tour was better than expected. Though the South Coast is stunning, it was made even more memorable by going privately with a local guide. One of the highlights was the trip to Katla, which was breathtaking, creepy, and dramatic. A must-do for everyone travelling to Iceland.

Amazing experience for myself, neice(20) and daughter (13). Took the tour with Tobi. Shared a lot of history, cultural information. Had a packed day of travel, visits to amazing sites. We had special dietary needs, and our guide took the time to find a great place for us to have dinner, and made the most of short daylight and a rainy day. Would definitely recommend this experience for older teens, adults. Long time in the car. Highlights - Ice Cave, Glacier Lagoon beautiful landscapes of Iceland
Beautiful scenery and best tour guide

I would like to start by stating that I am not one to write reviews, however this tour was so well organised, especially through our incredible tour guide Arni. All the sites are fantastic and leave you in awe, there is not much more to say about this. What can be commented on is the flexibility of the service that was provided by our tour guide Arni. It really made that much of a difference, welcoming any custom requests lunches, the pace of the tours, time spent on sites and especially adjusting to the groups overall energy. It is worth noting that the group I was with had several days of excursions planned. We were lucky enough to have Arni as our tour guide for three full days. Overall a 12/10 experience. Thank you Arni!
Best Day Ever!

We had the MOST Amazing Day!! We had 1 day in Iceland and booked this tour to make the most of that day. Our experence far exceeded our expectations and we were in awe of everything from the island, the topography, the adventure and our tour guide. Kristof was the best ever and made us feel right at home. So much so that our two jetlagged teen boys were able to relax and nap in the car as we drove from point to point. From waterfalls to the black beach with the ice caves being the cherry on top; we couldn't get enough of the day and we'll definitely be back. My first contact will be to Reykjavik Outventures to challenge them to outdo themselves once again.
Absolutely stunning itinerary, tour guide and company!

We took this Private tour with our guide Bart. First off, I would do other tours with their company in a heartbeat given the chance my family comes back! SERVICE: From beginning to end was excellent! The communication through the chat and the Fb messenger was great. Very responsive and prompt. All my questions were answered, and all changes and request ACCOMODATED prior to our tour. TOUR GUIDE: BART was our tour guide, he is polite, kind, and friendly, provided my family above and beyond service! We even felt like he was part of our family. Warm and knowledgeable without being boring. My family were still at the bus terminal when he arrived at our hotel but BART offered to pick us up, took us to our hotel to drop off our luggages, and then he waited patiently! Not a bit of negative attitude presented! We miss you Bart! TOUR: Oh boy, oh boy!! There are no actual words to describe our family’s experience! The itinerary on this tour is just sooo breathtaking. Driving around in a Range rover Discovery to the waterfalls, the black sand beach, diamond beach, glacier lagoon, delicious lunch at Vik and the KATLA ICE CAVE experience was out of this world! This tour was the first one we took on a 3 week journey, and it didn’t disappoint. I am still overjoyed looking back at the pics.
Long day but we’ll worth it

Overall the excursion was great, and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour itself is a long day, but we’ll worth it. My family and i had a chance to see multiple attractions, and do things that we would otherwise never have the chance to do elsewhere.
