Fabulous and memorable experiences
Fabulous excursions in Reykjavik and around Iceland. We booked private and group excursions and all were fantastic. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. Great guides, prompt, cheerful, helpful, comical, talented, knowledgeable and entertaining. A great time was had by all, aged 3 to 72.

Highly recommend this insightful tour
Loved this tour. Sveinbjorn did an excellent job of showing off his beautiful country. He provided us with so much information that none of my family knew about Iceland. It was obvious how much he loved his country and was so eager to provide us with stories and history. We so enjoyed our tour and highly recommend this private tour.

Fantastic geological tour
Alverado was our guide. His knowledge and love of the area made our experience fabulous. He was never rushed and was keen to show us the geology we were seeking
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review, Ann! 🌟 We’re delighted to hear that Alverado’s knowledge and passion made your experience fabulous. 🏞️ It’s wonderful that he was able to share the geology and sights at a relaxed pace, making your tour both informative and enjoyable. We truly appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you on another adventure in Reykjavík soon! 😊 With gratitude and warm regards Steina Your Friend In Reykjavík & Team

Unforgettable private tour
We booked a private 6-hour tour for 999 euros to the Reykjanes Peninsula. That sounds (and is) sumptuous, BUT it was worth every penny. We were picked up by the cruise ship first, which worked out without any problems. Our needs and those of our 6-year-old children were always taken into account, we learned a lot about life in Iceland and were able to explore a lot of sights without large tourist streams. An unforgettable experience thanks to our great tourist guide Joanne.

Perfect for a pre-cruise adventure to see Iceland
Flew into Reykjavik for a cruise and arranged for 2 private tours with these lovely folks. First one was a pickup at the airport with a short ~3 hour tour around the Reykjanes Peninsula. We got to stop at a ton of scenic areas, learn about the country and southern area, and stopped at the Blue Lagoon to see the amazing pools and hike along the lagoon. Drop off was at our hotel later in the afternoon. The following day the same driver picked us all up from the hotel and we did a Golden Circle tour to look for waterfalls, geothermal springs, lava fields, stop for lunch, more wonderful stories about the things we were seeing, and finally a drop off at the cruise ship terminal to start our trip. Our driver Peter was wonderful, very kind and patient with us (4 adults, and 2x 12 year old twins), and it made for the perfect start of our vacation around Iceland. We were able to see so many things in those 2 private tours, and being with just a group of ourselves meant we went at our pace and got to spend as much or little time as we wanted at each stop. it was the perfect tours for us and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a way to see a lot of things in a short amount of time.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Bespoke Reykjanes Peninsula Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Private Bespoke Reykjanes Peninsula Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1224 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 Private Bespoke Reykjanes Peninsula 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 Private Bespoke Reykjanes Peninsula Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Private Bespoke Reykjanes Peninsula 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 Private Bespoke Reykjanes Peninsula 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 Private Bespoke Reykjanes Peninsula Tour?
+
Around 2 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 Private Bespoke Reykjanes Peninsula 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, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. 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.
