An amazing expirience
I chose this Tour because i planned to prompose to my girlfriend. I wanted someone professional to take pictures and this tour was the perfect opportunity to combine this with a special memorable place. We were picked up at 8am at the hotel, becaus our tourguide Odinn suggested to start earlier, so we could optimize the time of daylight (days are short in the wintertime). Odinn is a great tourguide and a save driver, even though the weather wasn't good. He had a lot of interesting stories to tell, so ride to the southcoast didnt get boring. His english was very good and understandable, even if you are not used to speak english a lot. We visited a view breathtaking waterfalls and "the Black beach". For lunch we visited a small restaurant near the beach. The pictures he made were amazing, and we got them just a few days after. Overall it has been an amazing tour with a great tourguide and absolutly worth its money.
Response from the operator: We are so glad that you had an amazing experience with Odinn! Thank you so much and best of luck to you both.

Simply Incredible!
What an incredible experience! I travelled to Iceland on my first solo trip and I reallyyyy wanted to get some good photos of me with the beautiful South Coast landscape. I very candidly and apologetically told my guide, Odinn, that I was incredible awkward at posing and that this is the first time I had done something like this. I should never have worried about being awkward. Odinn is so incredibly talented and I was in utter shock with how beautiful the photos came out. He has a beautiful artistic eye and is so personable that you forget you’re even being photographed. On top of that, he was a wonderful tour guide and was able to provide a very knowledgeable and authentic facet to the trip. On top of that, Criz was absolutely fantastic. She was so organized and checked in to make sure everything was going well! I really appreciated that she reached out both during and after the tour to make sure I was happy with it! I can’t wait to come back and do another tour with this company and photoshoot with Odinn! If you have time, definitely book it. It is 10000% worth it. I now have these beautiful memories that will last me a lifetime. Thank you Odinn and Viking International Photo Tours!!
Response from the operator: Wow, we are so grateful for you! Thank you sooo much for this review! We are so glad that you had a wonderful time with Odinn. All the best!

Amazing experience!
Everything about our experience was wonderful. From the initial booking to connecting us with Bent, our photographer was very smooth. Bent is incredibly talented and extremely detail-oriented, he knew all the places to go for a great view. The pictures turned out gorgeous and much more than we expected!
Response from the operator: We are very glad that you had a wonderful experience with us during your South Coast tour, Dawn! Thank you for the wonderful feedback. Bent had a great time as well and had an amazing time with you all. We wish you all the best and hope that you can join us again in your future adventures. Take care and happy holidays!

Perfect, hassle-free tour!
My husband and I had a limited time in Iceland and the South Coast was very high on our list. We opted for a private tour to make things easier for us and to customize our time. Bent was not only a great guide and very knowledgable, but he was also a great driver, and knew exactly when to take us to each sight revolving around the weather. He was professional and photographs came out AMAZING!! We are beyond pleased with our excursion with Bent, would 100% recommend to anyone!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review about your experience! We are very pleased that you had a wonderful time with Bent. We take pride in providing the best service and we are very proud of our top-notch team of photographer guides! We hope that you will consider us again when you visit Iceland or any of our other locations! Safe travels back home and we wish you all the best. :) Thanks again, Criz

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private South Coast Tour with a Professional Photographer/Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Private South Coast Tour with a Professional Photographer/Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $1490 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 South Coast Tour with a Professional Photographer/Guide take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 South Coast Tour with a Professional Photographer/Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 South Coast Tour with a Professional Photographer/Guide?
+
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 South Coast Tour with a Professional Photographer/Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private South Coast Tour with a Professional Photographer/Guide?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private South Coast Tour with a Professional Photographer/Guide 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.
