Traveler's Reviews
Informative, Enjoyable and Reliable
As we had a group of 12 and had private tours as part of our holiday package, we were taken round in a mini bus. Bjorn, our guide and driver, was always on time and couldn't be more informative/helpful - we couldn't believe the knowledge he had. The Golden Circle Tour packs much of what the area has to offer in to a day. The Reykjanes peninsula was also an interesting tour from a geographical perspective. The transfers we had with the company to and from the airport were hassle free also. All in all we had a great experience with the company and I would recommend the private golden circle tour.

Superb guiding made the experience unforgettable
This tour is nonstop eye candy. The destinations themselves are any photographer's dream, and witnessing an active geyser was a rare treat that I will always remember. Downtown in the bus doesn't even feel like a break, because the Icelandic landscape you see during the entire trip is dramatic, dynamic, and mind-blowingly gorgeous. However, Marielle was a spectacular guide, and it is she who really made the tour truly exceptional. She was remarkably knowledgeable, told great jokes, and knew exactly how much to talk and how much to let us enjoy the scenery in silence. However, her strength really shines in that you can tell she genuinely cares about your experience. She goes above and beyond to see that you not only have a smooth trip, but that you have an unforgettable adventure. She helped a member of our group who had left his medication at home, and also made sure that everyone in the group got to know one another and become friends with clever ice breakers. Really, it was Marielle that made the tour great.

Multi-Day Stopover Tours
Multi-day stopover packages are multiple day tours thoughtfully arranged and combined with a hotel stay in Reykjavík. That way you get the best of both worlds, nature and city.
What is a Stopover Tour?
A stopover tour is simply an organized tour you take during a stopover in Iceland, most commonly known to be an extended layover during a transatlantic flight from US to Europe or vice versa. These tours are both individual day tours and stopover packages that include hotel accommodation in Reykjavík and daily tours with hotel pick up and drop off.
The convenience of a stopover tour is that every day you return to the same hotel in Reykjavík and get to enjoy the city life. Perfect for those who want the best of both worlds, city vibes and adventurous nature discovery.
How does a Stopover Tour Work?
Our stopover tours are designed with comfort and ease in mind for our guests without compromising on iconic and spectacular sights in Iceland. We offer stopover packages that include accommodation in Reykjavík and daily tours with hotel pickup and drop off.
Each daily stopover tour is operated independently so that guests can comfortably return to their hotel in Reykjavík after a day of exploring. That's how every day guests join a tour that lasts anywhere from a few hours to a full day excursion.
Full Day Stopover Tour
Full day stopover tours usually run from morning to late afternoon or evening and last around 8-11 hours. In some cases, these hours vary due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. On these trips guests travel further outside the city as far inland as Gullfoss waterfall and Geysir geothermal area, and to places on the south shore including Vík í Mýrdal where closeby you find Reynisfjara Beach. As with half day tours, full day tours include hotel pick up and drop off for ultimate convenience.
Stopover Packages with Hotel
To make things as easy and smooth as possible for you, we've designed our multi-day stopover packages to include accommodation at some of the best hotels in Reykjavík. Our hotel partners are carefully chosen three- and four-star hotels in the city, conveniently located in and around the city center.
