Amazed by nature, aware of what Iceland can bring to Europe
Reykjavik Erupts had a flawless and flexible organisation, gathering 4 people arriving from 4 countries right at the airport for a first 1-day trip, original and full of meaning. Our guide Jakob showed the beuty of the nature and answered our many questions on Iceland society. We have left amazed and aware of what iceland can bring to Europe.

puts his heart into his work
I really enjoyed Dofri Hermannsson’s guiding style. I’ve seen many guides through my experience in tourism, and it’s clear that Dofri truly loves what he does. He puts his heart into his work, genuinely enjoys being around people and shares stories about his land with great enthusiasm – I highly recommend him!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words! Hope to see you again one day.

Beyond the Ordinary: A Personalized Icelandic Adventure with Reykjavik Erupts
This was the first of three tours I did with Dofri and Reykjavik Erupts. I am going to write separate reviews for both of those tours as well. I need to mention that due to the eruption of Fagradalsfjall, much of what we would normally see on this tour was not accessible. So Dofri had to improvise, and he was a master at presenting the perfect first day in Iceland. He picked us up at the airport and brought us to a local coffee shop for one of the best cups of coffee I've had in a while. It was a local place, not a touristy spot. I knew right then I picked the right guide, one who would provide a real feel for Iceland. We first visited Kleifarvatn Lake and then Krýsuvík/Seltún. Dofri gave us a wonderful explanation of the geology behind what was happening in the area and pushed mom in her wheelchair and kept her company at Krýsuvík so I could explore a little more. He gave us a break in his tour to drop us off at Sky Lagoon where mom and I were able to get over our jet lag a little before continuing on. When Dofri picked us up, much to our delight, and per our request, he brought his wonderful dogs Hneta and Kvika! They are such well-behaved dogs and smart too (one is a retired search and rescue dog)! Dofri talked about his horses too and invited us to see them, which we did: real Icelandic horses. We got to feed them a little snack while we were there. I bet that's a treat you don't get on most tours. My mom said she loved the scenery and the lagoon, but the horses were her highlight of the day. I don't know that I can pick a highlight; I loved it all so much. After we met the horses, Dofri gave us a tour of Reykjavik and gave us some tips to enjoy the city. But this was our first day in Iceland, we were jet-lagged, and tired. So he brought us to our hotel and we agreed to meet the next day for our Golden Circle tour. I highly recommend this company and Dofri in particular to everyone who wants to book a private tour in Iceland. I booked a private guide because I brought my elderly mom with me on a short trip to Iceland and I knew private tours would be best considering our limited time and her mobility issues. Dofri made sure our Iceland experience was priceless. Please see my other reviews (Golden Circle and South Coast) for more information about Reykjavik Erupts. I fully plan to go back to Iceland in the future, and I will be sure to book Reykjavik Erupts again when I do.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! I'm so happy you had such a wonderful time. <3

Great tour, walk, and views!
Dofri was a fantastic local guide, very responsive and flexible as we adjusted our plans around the weather and the whims of lava flows. We had a great day hiking in the Reykjanes peninsula and driving to some of the geothermal active areas. The perfect way to kick off our Iceland adventure.
Response from the operator: Thanks for the review, it was a beautiful day and great to get the opportunity to hike up to the mountaintops and enjoy the views.

Fagradalsfjall
We spent a magical day with Gylfi, touring the active volcano and the surrounding area. How fortunate we were to see the earth perform in this spectacular fashion. How fortunate we were to have had such an excellent tour guide.
Response from the operator: Thanks, Dorothy - so happy to have been a part of your adventure!

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Reykjanes Peninsula Private Day Tour - up to 9 passengers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Reykjanes Peninsula Private Day Tour - up to 9 passengers cost?
+
Prices start at $20500 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 Reykjanes Peninsula Private Day Tour - up to 9 passengers take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Reykjanes Peninsula Private Day Tour - up to 9 passengers worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 84 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 Reykjanes Peninsula Private Day Tour - up to 9 passengers?
+
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 Reykjanes Peninsula Private Day Tour - up to 9 passengers suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Reykjanes Peninsula Private Day Tour - up to 9 passengers?
+
Around 29 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Reykjanes Peninsula Private Day Tour - up to 9 passengers 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.
