Loved every minute!
Amazing trip! Marius was a spectacular guide, gave us so much history and truly made it a 5 star experience. Golden Circle and South Coast were beautiful. Great communication from tour agency as well. Couldn't ask for a better trip!

Outstanding service- highly recommend
I highly recommend Iceland Highlights. We originally booked our tour with California-based Acanela Expeditions who didn’t deliver on the original itinerary. They changed the itinerary 2 weeks prior to the tour and dropped a full day off the package. They subcontracted Iceland Highlights and left them to deal with the mess. Tung and our incredible tour guide, Agnes quickly ironed out the situation. Our family of 4 had an incredible time in Iceland. Agnes quickly became part of the family. Her enthusiasm and energy was admirable. She made our much-needed trip an awesome memory that will stay with us for a lifetime. Moral of the story: Don’t book with a third party group, book your tour directly with the local dependable company - Iceland Highlights! Thank you Tung and Agnes fro an incredible look into Iceland! We’ll be back!
Response from the operator: Hello Sandra, Thank you very much for your time and for writing a review for us. It's much appreciated. Regards, Tung

We would highly recommend Iceland Highlights and Agnes!! Thank you all for making our trip to Iceland more than we could ever have imagined!!
Response from the operator: Hello Jennifer, thank you very much for the time to write us this beautiful review. We are so grateful for this. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed the trip and the guiding experience with Agnes. Regards, Tung

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Golden Circle and South Coast | Start from Reykjavik: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Private Golden Circle and South Coast | Start from Reykjavik cost?
+
Prices start at $2760 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 South Coast | Start from Reykjavik take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 South Coast | Start from Reykjavik worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 South Coast | Start 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 Golden Circle and South Coast | Start from Reykjavik suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Golden Circle and South Coast | Start from Reykjavik?
+
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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Golden Circle and South Coast | Start 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.
