Overview

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.
