    The best tour in iceland.

    The best tour guide! Very attentive, accomodating and informative! Worth every penny! Would recommend BJARNI to friends and family back home. He was very attentive to our needs since my dad just got a knee operation.

    Response from the operator: Thank you. Regards Bjarni

    Golden Circle Tour

    Blaskogabyggo Waterfall Farm to Table Restaurant Blue Lagoon Pretty much the whole tour was worth it. The experience was fantastic and our Tour Guide B was phenomenal to say the least. He was knowledgeable on all topics Iceland and had an answer for every question that was asked. He had entertaining stories and fables of Icelandic history to share and had the perfect amount of personality and customer service. Would recommend to anyone traveling to Iceland.

    Response from the operator: Thank you. Regards Bjarni

    Couldn't have been better

    Bjarni is the perfect tour guide - he seems to know how to customize the conversation and the tour to the individual personalities. He provides the right information at the right time and in a conversational manner - genuine and unrehearsed. Not only does he know the geography, history, and culture of Iceland, he provides very interesting folklore and a feeling for life in Iceland. If you are considering a private tour, I don't believe you can do better.

    Private Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $755 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 Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon 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 Private Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". 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 Private Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon 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 Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon 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 Private Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon 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 Private Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon 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 Private Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon Tour?

    +

    Included: 1st drink of choice at the In-water bar; Premium access to the Blue Lagoon; Private transportation; Use of bathrobe; and 2nd drink of your choice. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 84 listed pickup locations in and around Reykjavik. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon 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 Private Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon 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.

    What happens to Private Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon 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.
