    A great way to see some of Iceland!

    There is so much to see and do in Iceland. We wanted to squeeze as much as we could into a 5 day, 4 night long weekend trip. We took full advantage of 3 "Your Friend in Reykhavik" tours. All were excellent. The South Coast tour took us from the sea to hiking on a glaciar to standing under a waterfall. Our tour guide/driver Adrian made sure the entire trip stayed comfortable and on track. He was a wealth of information on all aspects of Iceland. It was fabulous.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the fantastic review, Steve! We're thrilled you chose 'Your Friend in Reykjavik' to experience so many incredible highlights of Iceland during your trip. We're especially pleased to know that Adrian’s knowledge and hospitality helped create an excellent experience for you. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope your wonderful memories last a lifetime. With gratitude and warm regards Steina Your Friend In Reykjavík & Team

    Awesome visit to Iceland thanks to Aron

    We had a Aron as a private for chauffeur for several days, including this and the Northern Lights. Aron was incredible, highly recommend you ask for him. Tours were amazing and we felt we really got to experience Iceland thanks to him. We had a couple of questions and company was always quick to reply and very easy to work with.

    Full Day Private Bespoke South Coast Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full Day Private Bespoke South Coast Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2,079 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 Full Day Private Bespoke South Coast Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 Full Day Private Bespoke South Coast Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Full Day Private Bespoke South Coast 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 Full Day Private Bespoke South Coast Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day Private Bespoke South Coast Tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day Private Bespoke South Coast 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 Full Day Private Bespoke South Coast Tour?

    +

    Included: All fuel or Electricity is included; Pick-up in Reykjavik; A very comfortable luxury vehicle; Expert guide from Your Friend In Reykjavik; and Parking fees. Not included: Meals and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Full Day Private Bespoke South Coast Tour include hotel pickup?

    What languages is Full Day Private Bespoke South Coast Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    +

    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.

    What happens to Full Day Private Bespoke South Coast Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
