Thank you for all
Now that we’ve reached the last day of our trip to Iceland, we’d like to thank you and your team from the bottom of our hearts for your wonderful work. From the very first moment to the very last, everything was planned with exceptional professionalism and care. This digital tour guide was a huge help in making sure we knew exactly what to expect every hour of every day, so we never encountered any unpleasant surprises. Everything went magically well, for which we are truly grateful.
Response from the operator: Thank YOU Matyas. This is such a lovely review to read. It really means a lot to us. Glad the TripCreator digital planner helped get you along the way too. Glad you had such a good time and please do accept our heartfelt thanks for trusting Hidden Iceland with your trip to Iceland.

Hidden Iceland provides perfect private tour
Booked an 8 day tour of the Golded Circle with Hidden Iceland. Every piece of the tour ( car, hotels, tours, transportation) was completely seamless. I would recommend Scott and Rita at Hidden Iceland to anyone.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the seamless review, Andrew. I will pass on your kind words to Scott and Rita. They are both exceptional at what they do.

Fabulous Iceland experience
We (two couples) traveled to Iceland in August 2026, partially to experience the solar eclipse. After an 8-day ocean cruise around Iceland, we stayed 4 extra days in Reykjavik. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Iceland, and the two days we spent with our guide, Kristjón, were spectacular! He was a wonderful guide: knowledgeable, warm and thoughtful. He clearly had the support of everyone in the Hidden Iceland office backing him up for the changing eclipse day logistics - they kept on top of all the weather and traffic updates to take us to the best vantage point. Kristjón even saved the day before by helping me rent a bathing suit at Sky Lagoon when I realized (that day!) that I didn't have mine. Last-minute eclipse day logistics meant we had to transition from a restaurant to a packed lunch, and the office arranged for a delicious (and enormous) array of sandwiches, beverages and snacks. All communication before and during our trip was swift, friendly and helpful. We highly recommend Hidden Iceland and Kristjón to anyone traveling to Iceland!
Response from the operator: Thank you for another exceptional review. It means a lot to us that you would share your experience across multiple places and I know Kristjón will be really happy to read such a nice response. Thank you for trusting us with your dream trip to Iceland.

Discovering Iceland
We spent two days in Reykjavik and then spent 9 days touring around the island with a private guide. We found it to be an amazing and very enjoyable trip! Fannar, our guide, was wonderful. He made the trip go smoothly and added additional stops and activities as we desired including a bit of fishing and golf. He was so easy to get along with and, of course, is very knowledgeable. We were pleased with our accommodations. Our two initial days in Reykjavik were wonderful. Our driver gave us his top recommendations for things to do on our first day. Our food and drink tour were great and the guide was fun. We went to 3 different spas including the Sky, Forest, and Blue Lagoons and all were great experiences. Iceland is an amazing country! Highlights for us were seeing the glaciers, waterfalls, different wildlife, the lava formations, horseback riding, picturesque scenery, the restaurants, and the lava tunnels. We felt that Hidden Iceland did a great job and we would certainly recommend it to others.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review! Fannar is an exceptional guide, and we are so proud to have him on our guiding team. He loves sharing his passion for Iceland, so it is fantastic to hear that he could seamlessly weave personal touches like fishing, golf, and his favourite local recommendations into your itinerary. It sounds like your Travel Expert also planned a fantastically varied itinerary for you - from the horseback riding to the lava tunnels and the stunning waterfalls to the awe-inspiring glacier scenery - it sounds like you truly immersed yourselves in everything Iceland has to offer. I will gladly share your kind compliments with Fannar and the rest of the team. Thank you for choosing Hidden Iceland and for recommending us to other travellers.

Private Golden Circle, Sky Lagoon and Friðheimar Greenhouse Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Private Golden Circle, Sky Lagoon and Friðheimar Greenhouse Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $3,215 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, Sky Lagoon and Friðheimar Greenhouse Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 9.5 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, Sky Lagoon and Friðheimar Greenhouse Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 389 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, Sky Lagoon and Friðheimar Greenhouse Lunch?
+
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, Sky Lagoon and Friðheimar Greenhouse Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Golden Circle, Sky Lagoon and Friðheimar Greenhouse Lunch?
+
Around 136 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 9.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Golden Circle, Sky Lagoon and Friðheimar Greenhouse Lunch 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.
