Ask for Karl from Prime Tours Iceland!
We actually had a two day private tour. We were on the Viking Mars and decided to have private tours while in Reykjavik. It was the best idea! The first day was the Golden Circle and the second day was the Blue Lagoon. There were many sights we were taken two on those days depending on what area we were in and our interests. Our guide was Karl and he was the best guide we have ever had. He was so welcoming, knowledgeable and showed us many interesting things that were unscripted, unlike often experienced on other excursions from cruise ships. He is a former search and rescue ranger, so we felt safe going anywhere with him!! His knowledge of politics, culture, geology and folklore is superior. He is an excellent driver and always concerned for our safety and comfort. He is also a very nice guy, definitely a native Icelander. He knew the best places to shop and eat, a huge plus and less the crowded bus-tourist trap thing. If you are going to Iceland, which when you see the lava fields and geothermal sites is like being on the moon, take the plunge like we did and hire Karl from Prime Tours!

Exclusive Golden Circle & Sky Lagoon Private Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Exclusive Golden Circle & Sky Lagoon Private Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1,121 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 Exclusive Golden Circle & Sky Lagoon Private Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Exclusive Golden Circle & Sky Lagoon Private Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Exclusive Golden Circle & Sky Lagoon Private Day 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 Exclusive Golden Circle & Sky Lagoon Private Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Exclusive Golden Circle & Sky Lagoon Private Day Tour?
+
Around 0 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Exclusive Golden Circle & Sky Lagoon Private Day 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 Exclusive Golden Circle & Sky Lagoon Private Day Tour?
+
Included: WiFi on board; Air-conditioned vehicle; Bottled water; Private transportation; and Sky Lagoon Saman admission. Not included: Food. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Exclusive Golden Circle & Sky Lagoon Private Day Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 54 listed pickup locations in and around Reykjavik. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Exclusive Golden Circle & Sky Lagoon Private Day Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Exclusive Golden Circle & Sky Lagoon Private Day Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Exclusive Golden Circle & Sky Lagoon Private Day Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
