Amazing - We had amazing time and conversation. Very knowledgeable and was able to give us a perspective of Iceland. Private touring is the way. Thank you, Johan (Jon) for your guidance.

One of our most memorable experiences - Iceland is so full of natural wonders. Each stop was memorable and beautiful. We can't believe we saw so much in one day. Our guide, Tommy, was so knowledgeable and helpful. We would highly recommend this tour. We even stopped at a dairy for delicious ice cream cones.
It was more than we ever expected.

Fabulous - The tour was fabulous - our guide not only took us to the primary spots on the golden circle - but we also found a few surprise waterfalls and a dormant volcano to hike around and into the crater! A wonderful way to see the Golden Circle and to learn a lot about Iceland as well.

Fantastic your - John was a great tour guide. We had seen a few of the sites unexpectedly the day before so he was happy to pivot and take us to some different sites. I would definitely use Private Hire Iceland again.

Family vacation in Iceland - Our driver was very flexible. There were a couple things we wanted to see and he worked them into our day. He gave us time at sites and engaged with my 10 year old grandson who loved the ice cream and horses. Tommy was excellent!!

Better book a taxi - The car was very comfortable with WiFi, driver wasn’t particularly interested in giving the tour. Spoke the indispensable amount. Felt like he just wanted to finish the tour as soon as possible. You’re better off booking the tour with a local taxi and having a more amicable guide that will try and fit in more places than those marked in the tour. We booked a taxi the next day and it was much bette and cheaper.
