Reykjavik · TOUR REVIEWS
Five days or twelve, the problem is the same: one road system, a lot of country and a coach that leaves at eight. The 15 below are the days out that earn their seat, priced and timed, with the full catalogue underneath when you want to go deeper.

Search Iceland’s Northern Lights by bus from Reykjavik, with expert guides, photo stops, warm layers, and a free retry if skies stay dark.
“David was our guide yesterday, 19th April 2025, and during the trip he did his wonders by explaining us how the northern lights appear and how some countries explained through mythology in the past. Super interesting. Thank you David! We got a cup of hot chocolate for free during the trip. We were SO lucky we got to see these amazing auroras this time of the year! Definitely would do it every single day of my vacations if it was guaranteed to see the lights. It’s really worth every cent!”
See Iceland’s south coast on a 10-hour bus tour with Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, Sólheimajökull, Vík, and Reynisfjara Beach.
“I had an amazing day with Andrea and Artur! Saw all of the main sights on the south coast and learned so much about Iceland on the journey. Although it was a long day the bus was very comfortable and we had frequent stops along the way including a rest stop for snacks/bathroom break! I can’t wait to return to magical Iceland for more. I have posted a longer review of my day on my travel instagram @adventurewithmolls- I’d love if you could check it out!✨”
Review of Reykjavík whale watching in Faxaflói Bay, with practical advice on wildlife, boats, guides, cold weather, timing, and value.
“Excellent trip with an informative friendly guide we saw humpback whales within an hour and I was impressed with the respect for the whales in not getting too close, hanging around and stressing them out. They came to us in their own time, it was beautiful to see these incredible mammals in a responsible way thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon”

Review of Iceland’s 10-hour Golden Circle tour with Secret Lagoon, Kerið crater, Geysir, Gullfoss, and Þingvellir, including practical tips.
“The pick up was a bit chaotic as there were multiple tour groups at the same pick up/meeting point. I think it’s tourists (us) problem with some lacking discipline. No proper queuing and most lose their morale and just swarm towards an approaching bus. Our tour guild and bus captain, Sunny and Lucas were absolute fabulous. Very knowledgeable about history and clear on instructions, itinerary and time frame. This was a big tour group of about 40+ people. I’m a solo traveller and this wasn’t a problem. I love the places that were on the internet. Never disappointed.”

See Thingvellir, Strokkur, and Gullfoss on a practical 6.5-hour Golden Circle coach tour from Reykjavik for $73.86.
“This was our first planned tour after an early flight. It was a great pace to get us acclimated to the time change. Close to 2 hours on the bus then your first stop gets you out and moving as you walk around to see some amazing geysers. The following 2 stops are just as amazing. Erikur and Flossi were a great driver and tour guide for us!”

“We had such a fun time! Wilfred was our guide/leader and he did an excellent job prepping us and giving instructions. We had a little hiccup with one of our friend’s suits and he caught it immediately and fixed it before getting in the water. He had us all laughing and enjoying our time and the pictures he took turned out great. Highly recommend the snorkeling and request Wilfred if you can!”
