The Best Possible Tour
We used Orvar and Premium Tours for our weeklong stay in Iceland. This was the best tour I’ve ever taken. Orvar was very knowledgeable and very witty. We covered the city, Blue Lagoon, Golden Circle, spent a night out at the glacier lagoon and Diamond Beach. We got to see the Northern lights twice and got fantastic pictures. He knew the best places to eat and even got us in to a couple places that were sold out. A great time. Can’t wait to go back.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re truly happy that you chose Iceland Premium Tours for your trip. It means a lot to hear that you had such a memorable experience. We hope to welcome you back to Iceland again in the future!

The perfect guide to show us Iceland!
I can't say enough good things about this tour - it was an amazing tour day! Orvar picked us up from our hotel right on time and safely drove us out to our many stops, pointing out interesting sites and sharing details about Iceland along the way. And what sites! We saw waterfalls and beaches and volcanos and glaciers and....!!!! The list goes on and on. There wasn't one highlight of the tour because all were spectacular, especially with Orvar's education and humor to bring the stops to life. The weather changed for the worse after our boat ride around the Glacier Lagoon (add-on), and he didn't bat an eye when we dragged our saturated selves back into the car. We never once worried about our safety, despite the poor weather. From a practical perspective, Orvar made sure we had plenty of rest stops and drinks/food. He patiently answered all questions and was a wealth of information. We never suffered or worried about the length of the day which was quite long in retrospect. We left at 8AM and returned after 10PM. It didn't feel long because we were engaged the entire time. I would highly recommend this tour and company to anyone visiting Iceland! I have Orvar's business card and will be sharing his information with our friends who are drooling over the many photos taken during the tour! Book it - you won't be disappointed!
Response from the operator: Hello there, Wow! We were absolutely thrilled to read your amazing review of your tour with us. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We couldn't be happier knowing that we were able to provide you with a wonderful tour and create lasting memories for you, despite the not so great weather you experienced. We are glad you enjoyed Örvar's company and guidance, and we are sure your enthusiasm, enjoyment and cheerfulness throughout the day was really what made for a fantastic tour for both you and Örvar. Thank you once again for choosing Iceland Premium Tours and for sharing your remarkable experience with the TripAdvisor community, as well as with your friends at home. It was an absolute pleasure having you on tour. Warmest regards, The Iceland Premium Tours Team

Amazing country and culture
We did several tours while in Iceland and all were with Iceland Premium Tours and all were excellent. Glacier Lagoon and the Ice Caves were certainly highlights. Iceland is an interesting and beautiful country and we were able to experience much of it even though it was winter. Orvar was our guide/driver all week and he was able to take us to the many spectacular sites on the island. Orvar was born and raised in Iceland and has great insight into its natural phenomena and its history and culture. He made sure we experienced some Icelandic traditions and often started the day with a local treat. We thoroughly enjoyed every day we spent with him and highly recommend him and Iceland Premium Tours for private or small group tours in Iceland.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your excellent review .. Hope to see you again in summer .. the real "green" Iceland Wish you all well

Jokulsarlon
We are glad that we went on this trip and it gave us opportunities to learn the beautiful landscape of Iceland. Hats off to the driver Orvar who brought us back safe and sound during snow storm. Even tho he skipped 2 stops he allowed us to see icebergs in day light while the sun was shining. It was adverted for us to see 8 places but day light is only 5 and a half hrs. On top of that the weather changes in a min. They shouldn’t advertise something very impractical. There is no way anyone can see everything in 1 day . People like me had no idea about iceland so we thought it’s doable. But we are still very glad that we got to see the Icebergs and the Diamond beach. If i had known I would have went at 6 am straight to the iceberg, by the time you get there sun will be up and you can see all of the places they advertised .
Response from the operator: Hello Risa I am very surprised and upset of your rating . We only skipped stopping at 1 place Skogarfoss which you saw from a distance .. Dyrholey was closed due to Ice pack on road up the mountain . Solheimajokull we visited but you decided not to stop due to wind and weather , But you were helped to see other beautiful sites .. And give it a thought .. leaving at 06:00 to go straight to Glacier Lagoon would have meant that the return trip would have been in darkness similar time but due to the increase in bad weather we would have really missed more stops. IT WAS A CORRECT DECISION to operate as we did and I would have expected your satisfaction of that . It always good to have comments but experience and knowledge of the country is what the locals have not the tourists .. And given the quick change in the weather you were very lucky with the results of the over all tour. WE do this near every week with super good results and happy clients and we advise tourists that are not familiar with Iceland and its weather that there can be unavoidable changes in routing and stops. I hope you can review your thoughts about this and appreciate happy memories.+ And yes we plowed through the snow storm and i got you to the hotel before midnight .. others were not that lucky arriving at 04:00 in morning after being stuck on the mountain for 5 hours with my best regards and thank you / Orvar

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Jeep Tour - Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Private Jeep Tour - Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach cost?
+
Prices start at $2050 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 Jeep Tour - Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach take?
+
Plan for about 14 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 Jeep Tour - Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 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 Jeep Tour - Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach?
+
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 Jeep Tour - Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Jeep Tour - Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach?
+
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 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Jeep Tour - Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach 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.
