Private Golden Circle Tour Reykjavik — Your Own Car and Guide

Private Golden Circle Tour Reykjavik: Which One Suits You

Private tours differ in the car, the size of group they take and what they add: one takes seven people for €700, one starts at the airport, one stops for tomato soup at Friðheimar, one runs in a Range Rover. Choose what matters most to you to see the tour that fits, why it fits, what to keep in mind and the alternatives. Prices are for the whole car unless marked.

Car or minibus

Private Tour or a Small Group

For a couple a minibus is far cheaper: €320–350 each for the cheapest private options against €98–114 on a small group. From six or seven the gap closes, and the seven-seat tour comes to €100 each. What a private car buys is control: your start time, extra stops such as Brúarfoss or Friðheimar, as long at each stop as you like and nobody else to wait for.

Kerið crater

Private Golden Circle Tour from Reykjavik with Kerid Crater

Nearly every private tour here stops at Kerið, the red crater with a lake inside, and most pay the entry for you; otherwise it costs ≈700 ISK (≈€5) per person at the gate. With a private car you also decide how long to stay: walk the rim, go down to the water or move on. These six cover every group size from one to eight.
