A van and a driver
Having someone drive you around made the trip worthwhile, but that's all you really get with this "tour." We received a text message from Robert after midnight (about 8 hours prior to the start of the tour) asking us (telling us) that our tour would be delayed one hour. Of course I don't see the message until my alarm wakes me up in the morning, so I lose an hour of sleep. The driver, Agnar Diego, made apologies for the late start, but apparently the rental van for our tour wasn't available until later. I should have paid closer attention to the actual description of the tour. Agnar was a super nice guy and a competent driver, but I didn't get the feeling he was an actual tour guide. To be fair the description of the tour on Viator doesn't say you'll get a "guide," but I was a bit disappointed nonetheless. The van was a common Renault 10-12 passenger van-think about a hotel airport van-it was nothing fancy, but it was loud inside. Because the van was better suited to move people from point A to point B, communication with the driver was difficult. The van didn't have an audio system, so Agnar would answer questions and try and communicate about things, but he was looking forward (a safe and wise decision while driving) or down at his lap at the apparently necessary map app or something else, making it difficult to hear him. If your tour included more than the number of people (3) who could sit in the first row behind the driver, they would not have been able to hear his responses at all. Again, the tour doesn't indicate you'll get a tour guide and it doesn't say anything about being transported in a vehicle that's set-up for tours, so shame on me, to some extent, for reading too much into the description of this tour. This is a tour that allows you to get out of Reykjavik and see some very pretty country, without having to rent a car and drive yourself. It's basic, at all levels, in my opinion. On the plus side; Agnar was super friendly and seemed to be a genuinely nice guy and we were picked-up at our hotel in central Reykjavik, something not all tours are allowed to do.
Response from the operator: Hey John Romero and friend, thank you so much for your important feedback. My apologies for the organizational faults on our end with texting you late about the delayed departure. Your review is very helpful and we most certainly appreciate people's honest opinions so that we can grow as a company and people. Your input is very helpful as we value our visitor's and client's experiences above all else. We would like to offer you a 30 % discount on your next tour with us if you would be willing to give us a second chance to create magic together! Best of luck Mr. Romero and co.

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Spirit of Snæfellsnes Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Private Spirit of Snæfellsnes Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1595 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 Spirit of Snæfellsnes Tour take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Spirit of Snæfellsnes Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 1 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 Spirit of Snæfellsnes 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 Spirit of Snæfellsnes Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Spirit of Snæfellsnes Tour?
+
Around 0 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Spirit of Snæfellsnes 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, 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.
