Wonderful vacation and best tour guide
We had a great time taking the 3-day private tour with Friend in Iceland. Xiao Juan (筱娟) is very professional and friendly to discuss our itinerary before we arrive. The car is super spacious and comfortable. She shared Icelandic culture, history, folklore and some fun Q&A, which made the ride enjoyable. We went to all the highlights of the golden circle and south coast, and some special secret spots along the way. She also took us to the highlands through challenging road conditions, which we would never have gone to if by ourselves. We were amazed by all the gorgeous views! Thank you so much for making our trip memorable. Highly recommend Friend in Iceland as your guide when you travel to Iceland.

Fabulous private tour!
We had a fabulous experience in Iceland with Saga. We saw even more beautiful places than we expected, and every moment was enjoyable and well organized. Saga was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and caring throughout the trip. She provided us with snacks, water, and ponchos, and always made sure everyone was comfortable. You can truly feel her experience and passion for what she does. Thank you, Saga, for such a memorable and wonderful tour!

An unforgettable experience in Iceland
It was our first time to visit Iceland. We participated the three day tour, which included south coast, glacier/ ice cave and golden circle. Luckily, our guide was so nice and talkative. She shared a lot of things about iceland’s history and folklore. It was a little expensive compared to 20-40 people local tour, but it’s pretty cozy and slow-paced. I am highly recommend to join the tour.

We will definitely visit Iceland again with Friend In Iceland !
We are deeply grateful to Saga, our amazing driver and guide for an unforgettable journey through Iceland. She made sure we saw the best of Iceland, from incredible auroras, rainbows to the breathtaking landscapes. Over five days, we explored numerous must-see sights with Saga's warm hospitality and insightful commentary enriching each experience. The flexibility of our private tour was particularly appreciated, enabling us to collaboratively adjust the itinerary to our preferences. We also want to express our gratitude to Gunnar for planning such a fantastic itinerary and for his friendly and patient communication during the booking process. The food and accommodations were fantastic! We're already dreaming of our next trip to Iceland.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such an unforgettable journey with Saga and that the flexible itinerary, beautiful sights, and warm hospitality made your trip so special. We can’t wait to welcome you back to Iceland for your next adventure!

The Best Tour in Iceland
Our tour guide 张筱娟 is excellent. I have travelled enough and went though a lot tour guides. She is by all means the best tour guide I have ever met. She is very professional, courteous, friendly, thoughtful and extremely informative. Through her detailed and narrative explanations, we have learned so much about Iceland’s culture, history, geography and great number of legends. She definitely made everybody feel at home and made our trip so lovely and enjoyable. 我们的导游张筱娟非常棒。 我经常旅游也接触过不少导游。 筱娟 是我见到的最好的导游。她 不但非常敬业，待人亲切有礼，对我们关心备至，而且知识渊博 。通过她细致深入的讲解，我们对冰岛的文化，历史，地理环境 以及各种传奇都有了一定的了解。她对我们每一个人都像对待家人一样， 并使我们大家感到旅途非常满意和愉快。
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review! We’re truly touched to hear how much you enjoyed traveling with Jen and that her knowledge, care, and storytelling made you feel at home.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
South Coast and Glacier Lagoon - Private: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does South Coast and Glacier Lagoon - Private cost?
+
Prices start at $1510 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 South Coast and Glacier Lagoon - Private 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 South Coast and Glacier Lagoon - Private worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 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 South Coast and Glacier Lagoon - Private?
+
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 South Coast and Glacier Lagoon - Private 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 South Coast and Glacier Lagoon - Private?
+
Around 5 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 South Coast and Glacier Lagoon - Private 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.
