The Best Guide: Andres!!
We had an incredible time with Andres. We had done a few tours with him and he made our experience wonderful. He was so knowledgeable and truly showed us all that Iceland had to offer. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Andres, you will not regret it! I hope I can return to Iceland in the future and when I do, I will be booking with Andres!
Response from the operator: Dear Morgan and family M Returning guests are always a great experience. As you know I even took my birthday to stay with you that day and days before that. Somehow C and J made great impression on me on their first visit in Iceland. But there is something I am still sorry about. It was a weather. You truly deserved better than that. I also like customisation, and we made it completely on our own, so the result is obviously good. I would really wish to travel with you and others in case you returning back. Like a parent, like a daughter, Morgan. Thank you for this wonderful review. Andres

Response from the operator: Dear Rebeca and family, It was really a good time to be with a family like yours. All of you so relaxed and interesting on the tour and spots in that part of Iceland. Children are also in special memory so small Luca will stay in memory too of course. Thank you for all. Andres

Great guide for Reykjavík
A very informative guide for our very first visit to Reykjavík. More than the city walking tour visit the experience of the drive around the Golden Circle and the Southern Coast all the way to the Black Beach were very informative.
Response from the operator: Thank you for being my guest, Nawzer and the rest of the group. I really enjoyed the days with you, as you all are experienced travellers, and it makes people more chances to explore and compare, research the current country being visited. In your case, this time Iceland. Thank you also for this wonderful review. I wish you all the best Andres

Fantastic Day Tour Program
Booked this full day excursion with Andres Ivanovic and it did not disappoint. Andres was fantastic! He picked us up from our hotel in Reykjavik on-time in a very clean SUV. We had booked a full day and he gave us a quick overview and then made a couple of real-time adjustments to the plan as he got to know us better. Great info, great insight, lots of great conversation. We did several waterfalls, volcanos, glaciers, a couple of museums, the black sand beaches... it was a really terrific tour and we cannot recommend Andres highly enough.
Response from the operator: Dear Ed B. Thank you for being my guests that day. We found a topic to discuss that makes tours even more interesting. You are also the kind of people willing to know something more or less interesting about local Iceland, so in that way, the tour can be even better. Yes, I have made an exception. No worries for that. My goal was that you leave Iceland happy, and I think it happened. Thank you for all. Andres

Exceptional Private Guide Tour
We booked a full day (10+ hours) guided tour with Andres and it did not disappoint. Andres picked us up at our hotel in Reykjavik, was on time, super clean SUV and very knowledgeable of the area, politics, culture, geography, etc. We made a few small changes in the itinerary as we went and André’s was always full of suggestions and recommendations. Outstanding in every way!

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Day Trip to the Icelandic South Coast from Reykjavik: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Private Day Trip to the Icelandic South Coast from Reykjavik cost?
+
Prices start at $240 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 Day Trip to the Icelandic South Coast from Reykjavik 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 Private Day Trip to the Icelandic South Coast from Reykjavik worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 49 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 Day Trip to the Icelandic South Coast from Reykjavik?
+
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 Day Trip to the Icelandic South Coast from Reykjavik 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 Private Day Trip to the Icelandic South Coast from Reykjavik?
+
Around 17 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 Private Day Trip to the Icelandic South Coast from Reykjavik 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.
