    Wonderful tour with Helga

    We had a terrific experience with Helga. We were picked up at our cruise ship, did a tour the highlights of Reykjavik, had a great time at the Blue Lagoon, and were dropped off at KEF for our flight home. A perfect final day in Iceland!

    Response from the operator: Dear George, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! Hope to see you again in Iceland! All the best, Helga

    Feels like bathing in a different planet

    The facilities at the Blue lagoon are great. we were worried we would be cold when getting from the dressing area to the thermal pools, but the thermal pools come into the building so you never have to be cold. the masks made our skin feel great and the pools are huge so despite many people it didn’t feel crowded. We visited July 30 and they are expanding so if you visit later it may even get better. It is a must do activity in Iceland. Our guide Helga was fantastic, great info and great personality.

    Response from the operator: Dear Andres, we are glad you enjoyed your trip with us and thank you for sharing your experinence! All the best, Helga

    Comprehensive & Fun 1 Day Tour of Blue Lagoon & City Tour

    We did this activity on our first day in Reykjavik. We had a private tour with Travelling Iceland. We were picked up from the airport by Helga & was transported right away to Blue Lagoon. We were checked in at BL efficiently as soon as it opened at 9 am. We had an amazing time at BL till noon time & we were picked up after our lunch by Addy, our tour guide & transport for the City tour. In the afternoon, We went right away to Reykjavik City. First, went to PERLAN Museum and had a 360 degree view of the City of Reykjavik from the platform.We had enough time to check out the exhibits without feeling rushed. We drove around city and we were able to go to all the “must see places” in Reykjavik. We also had ample time to take pictures in all the lovely city sites & landmarks.This is a customized and comprehensive tour and very organized as well. We ended the tour by having a dinner in a traditional Icelandic restaurant per our request & guide’s recommendation. The whole day activity was comprehensive & we were happy that we’re able to attain our Iceland travel goals without wasting any time. I highly recommend this activity & the company Travelling Iceland for the Blue Lagoon & Reykjavik City Tour. We also love the water tumblers, chocolates & post cards the company Travelling Iceland gave us as a welcome gift! ❤️

    Response from the operator: Dear Vilma, thank you so much for choosing us and sharing your experience! We hope you had a great rest of your stay in Iceland! All the best from Reykjaví, Helga Bára

    Go with Helga!

    Helga is such a warm and open person that really cares about your experience! She will show you some corners of Reykjavik that are out of walking distance which was great. But more importantly it feels you are going there with a good friend who tells you stories and provides you with guidance. When going to the Blue Lagoon, this is the way you want to go! Absolutely worth it.

    Response from the operator: Dear Bastian, Thank you so much for sharing your experience and we are glad you enjoyed the tour with us! All the best from Iceland, Helga Bára

    Blue Lagoon & Reykjavík Sightseeing - PRIVATE TOUR: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does Blue Lagoon & Reykjavík Sightseeing - PRIVATE TOUR cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,063 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Blue Lagoon & Reykjavík Sightseeing - PRIVATE TOUR take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.

    Is Blue Lagoon & Reykjavík Sightseeing - PRIVATE TOUR worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 40 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Blue Lagoon & Reykjavík Sightseeing - PRIVATE TOUR?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Blue Lagoon & Reykjavík Sightseeing - PRIVATE TOUR suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Blue Lagoon & Reykjavík Sightseeing - PRIVATE TOUR?

    +

    Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Blue Lagoon & Reykjavík Sightseeing - PRIVATE TOUR start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Reykjavik?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Blue Lagoon & Reykjavík Sightseeing - PRIVATE TOUR?

    +

    Included: Premium ticket to the Blue Lagoon included; Guided Tour of Downtown and Historical Reykjavík; and Transportation. Not included: Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Blue Lagoon & Reykjavík Sightseeing - PRIVATE TOUR include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 21 listed pickup locations in and around Reykjavik. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Blue Lagoon & Reykjavík Sightseeing - PRIVATE TOUR offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Blue Lagoon & Reykjavík Sightseeing - PRIVATE TOUR?

    Is Blue Lagoon & Reykjavík Sightseeing - PRIVATE TOUR wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Blue Lagoon & Reykjavík Sightseeing - PRIVATE TOUR if the weather is bad?
