We visited Iceland as a stop on a cruise and I had booked this tour for our party of 6. We were picked up at the cruise terminal gate by our driver/guide for the day, Denis.The transport was a Volkswagen multivan and was just right for us. I am no longer nimble but Denis gave me a hand when needed. We had a wonderful day enjoying a little of this beautiful country. Denis was very informative and passionate about his home. We had a number of stops and great photo opportunities. We also stopped at a tomato greenhouse restaurant and had a delicious lunch. We added The Secret Lagoon to our tour as an extra. The time passed too quickly but the day has given us fantastic memories. Sergei, who runs the company answered my questions pre-visit promptly and the booking process was simple.

This is a very condensed tour, and is one of our longest day tours.

I booked two full day trips, transfers to and from airport and the Blue Lagoon with this company. We were a party of four adults that included two ‘seniors’ one of whom is disabled - me! All arrangements were agreed in writing and I was provided with a full, clear Itinerary for our stay. The drivers arrived at the expected time for each occasion and the vehicles were exceptionally good. They managed my scooter (and the luggage) cheerfully - both in actions and attitudes and I was treated with dignity at all times. The day trips in a 4 x 4 were outstanding and adjusted by agreement to meet the party’s desires and weather changes. Both of the young men who escorted our party were charming, informative and great company. By the end of both days, we were a family! Thank you so much Gisele and Audunn! Without doubt you can see the Golden Circle and the South Coast cheaper by coach tour or self-drive but neither can compare with the personal service and depth of knowledge about the island, it’s geography, society and culture provided by one’s own tour guide. The journeys in a 4 x 4 are more comfortable and exciting too!! If this is your first, your only or a special trip, don’t think twice about paying for the best if you can. This was my second visit to Iceland but hopefully not my last. Thank you Ao Thur for making it such fun and with more marvellous memories -again. Hugs Mary.

We booked 5 days private tour with Iceland Premium Tours, and we were hosted by none other than the CEO Orvar himself. He has been very accommodating towards our request, and provided his unparalleled understanding of Iceland itself. We have been hit by bad weather thru the week, he never stopped a moment to suggest alternate alternatives, without compromising of safety. When we were on the way to the airport, knowing that we did not managed to see the aurora, he took a last effort and drove us to a location for a last ditch effort. And we managed to catch a glimpse of it finally! Thank you Orvar!

What ever you do in Iceland, this must be on your list. The South Coast tour is absolutely…well there are not enough strong words to describe The South Coast. This area of Iceland literally takes all of your words and leave you like that the whole tour. This tour has everything Iceland has to offer. Volcanos, lava, stunning waterfalls, glacier, ocean, black sand and cliffs. Not to mention an awesome local Viking that will guide you through and keep you the best company. We can not promise though he will not show up in Viking costume. It is different how far our guides take this Viking thing. We offer a wake up service. Sometimes we have to go all the way to guests hotel room to pick them up. We do not offer dress up service though. If you are on time, just wait in the lobby and you will be picked up there.
Inclusions: Icelandic Whiskey, Free wifi

We where picked up at Bust stop one in the centre of Reykjavik by a very pleasant young lady ('The German girl'), Faye I think is her name. On time. The whole trip was great fun and our guide/driver was funny, engaging, accommodating and a safe driver. We drove through snow storms that we had never experienced before (we are from Australia) and we never felt like we were in any danger. The sights were pretty quite as far as other tourists are concerned, due to COVID-19 which was rather nice. The farm visit was awesome - food for vegetarians was an option - and our host there was great and provided us with a very interesting bit of history for the local area and their family business (hope they are still managing with all the restrictions). I recommend this trip for anybody as the walking was easy and the bus comfortable.

8. Ice Cave Tour
Overall Ratings
4.9 based on 43 reviews
Our best seller Ice Cave Tour! A short tour that allows you to experience the stunning blue caves of Vatnajökull, the biggest glacier in Europe. On this tour we venture to one of the more accessible ice caves for an encounter with ancient blue ice. The conditions of the ice caves are constantly changing. During the warmer summer months the ice caves are being formed by melted glacier water. In autumn each year we start looking for ice caves. Being a local company, we began searching for ice caves in 90’s and our speciality is finding the very best ice cave available. The Ice Cave Tour is our easy option, as our trusted super jeeps take us very close to the ice cave, meaning minimal walking. This trip suits most people and is perfect if you have a packed schedule or if you are worried about arctic winter weather. The super jeep journey to reach the cave is an adventure on its own. Once we reach our destination you will have time to experience a beautiful blue Ice Cave!
Inclusions: Local and Professional Glacier Guide, 4x4 Super-Jeep Transfer, Spikes and Helmet, Supporting a Small Local Company, Carbon Neutralised Tour, Visit to the Blue Diamond Ice Cave

Glacier Discovery can’t recommend it enough!! What an amazing glacier hike we had. It started by getting picked up by our guide Snorri in Freysnes on this massive 4x4 super jeep. From there he drove us a short trip up to the glacier where we switched to crampons and hiking boots. We were quite lucky with the weather, and since the world is going through this covid times, we were the only group up on the glacier. That made for a peaceful but yet an experience full of action and adventure. Considering myself maybe a bit above average when it comes to hiking I can say that I felt comfortable the whole time on the glacier, specially after our guide showed us some tricks on how to fully utilize the crampons on the ice. Snorri our guide was a champ! Full of knowledge and funny. Definitely recommend and If I get the opportunity I will take another trip with them. Regards Siggi
