Opting for a private tour with a dedicated driver and a vehicle presents numerous advantages. It offers a comfortable and leisurely way to explore the city, with the added flexibility of a personalized schedule. Tailor your experience by spending as much time as you desire at each destination. Additionally, consider the opportunity to enhance your tour by combining it with other activities in or around Reykjavík. Reykjavík, situated at 66°North, holds the distinction of being the northernmost sovereign capital globally. Approximately two-thirds of Iceland's total population resides in and around this vibrant city. A fascinating historical note reveals that in 1900, Reykjavík was home to just around six thousand people; today, the population has soared well beyond two hundred thousand. Key attractions on a city tour encompass iconic landmarks like Hallgrímskirkja, the architectural marvel of Harpa, the panoramic views from Perlan, and the striking Sun Voyager.

Vestmannaeyjar private day tour

Vestmannaeyjar, Westman Islands are a cluster of islands that can only be described as a wonder of nature, just a few decades ago there was a volcanic eruption on the main island and a part of the town was buried under the lava. There is no way to describe the power of nature when it hits a small town like this but the towns people fought the volcano and won (or at least a little bit as they were able to save a part of the town and harbor) so we will visit the Eldheimar Museum for some inside information from the locals about the devastating eruption. A day tour to this place is a must as it is truly amazing to see the landscape and how the people have rebuilt the town and their lives around this volcano site. In the summer the island is of course one of the best spots to see the puffins and get close to them and the Beluga Whale Sanctuary is another great way to get close to the wildlife surrounding Iceland.
