Easy, organized, and overall wonderful day trips! - My family and I did several day trips with this company, as well as a Northern Lights night tour, and our experience with all of it was great. Transportation was super easy and organized, and the buses we were on had Wi-Fi and were all comfortable. The tour guides were all wonderful. They were so kind and knowledgeable, and I learned so much about Iceland over the course of a few days! Thank you, Reykjavík Excursions!

Golden circle - Very informative. Fantastic tour, despite the weather. Gunnar and Maggi our tour guides/ driver were great. Northern lights part of the tour was cancelled due to adverse weather conditions but was definitely for the best. Would do again in a heart beat.

Lost in an Icelandic Forest? Stand up! - Our guide Gunnar was very informative and possessed a wonderful sense of humor throughout. Lots of laughs throughout. Wish we had more time at Thingvellir but since the gift shop was closed it worked out well. Northern lights portion was cancelled due to weather which was upsetting but entirely understandable, we wouldn't have seen anything with how cloudy it was that night. The company reached out to us to reschedule but as our schedule had no room in it to do so - they were more than happy to provide us a refund for the Northern Lights part of the tour.
