Private Iceland tours from Reykjavík

Licensed drivers, fixed prices, your own car for the day.

Every tour on this page is private: your group gets its own vehicle and its own driver-guide, so you decide when to leave, how long to stay at each stop and where to add a photo break. We pick you up at your hotel, apartment, cruise terminal or straight from Keflavík Airport anywhere in the capital region, and the price you see covers the whole car, not a seat. Routes run all year: the Golden Circle and the South Coast in summer daylight, northern lights and ice caves in winter. Flott Taxi ehf is a licensed day tour provider registered with the Icelandic Tourist Board.

  • Licensed by the Icelandic Tourist Board
  • Private group, no strangers
  • No deposit, free cancellation
  • Hotel, apartment & cruise pickup
  • 24/7 support in English

Why book a private tour with us

A licensed local taxi company, not a reseller. You deal directly with the people driving you.

  • The whole car is yours

    Sedans for couples, SUVs for Icelandic weather and minivans for up to eight passengers with luggage. One price for the vehicle, split it however you like.

  • Your schedule, not a timetable

    Start early to beat the coaches, stay longer at Gullfoss, skip a stop or add one. Cruise passengers get the route planned backwards from the all-aboard time.

  • Licensed and insured

    Every driver holds a valid Icelandic taxi licence, the vehicles are inspected, and we drive winter roads year after year.

  • Straight answers before you pay

    Fixed quote up front, no deposit, no booking fee and no surprise surcharges. Ask us anything by phone, email or WhatsApp.

Data adapted from public Iceland travel guidance.

Safety & weather

Plan your day with official alerts and share your travel plan if heading outside the city.

Road & driving

Conditions change fast. Always check winds and closures, keep lights on and slow for gravel.

  • • Road conditions: road.is
  • • One‑lane bridges and sheep crossings — drive cautiously
  • • Absolutely no off‑road driving
Airport & drones

Find live flights at Keflavík and fly drones only where permitted with respect for people and wildlife.

Nature & etiquette

Iceland’s landscapes are fragile. Protect moss, nest sites and geothermal areas for the next visitors.

  • • Stay on marked paths; close gates behind you
  • • Pack out trash; refill tap water (excellent quality)

Iceland tours: frequently asked questions

How much does a private tour in Iceland cost?

The price on each tour card is for the whole vehicle, not per person, and it depends on the route length and the size of the car. A Golden Circle day for one to four people starts around €640; the same route in an eight-seat minivan is higher. Fuel, parking and the driver are included; entrance fees to places like the Blue Lagoon or a lava tunnel are not.

Is a guide included?

Your driver is a local who will tell you about the places along the way in English and answer questions, but these are private driver-guided tours, not tours with a separate certified guide. If you need a licensed specialist guide for the whole day, tell us in advance and we will arrange one for an extra fee.

Where do you pick us up?

Any hotel, guesthouse or apartment in Reykjavík, Kópavogur, Hafnarfjörður, Garðabær, Mosfellsbær and Seltjarnarnes, plus the Skarfabakki and Miðbakki cruise terminals and Keflavík Airport. Pickup outside the capital region is possible: send us the address and we will quote it.

Can we run these tours in winter?

Yes. The Golden Circle, the South Coast and Reykjanes run all year on studded winter tyres. In December and January you have about four to five hours of daylight, so we start at sunrise and shorten the route rather than rush it. If a road closes or a storm warning comes in, we move the tour to another day at no cost.

How many people fit in one car?

Up to four passengers with normal luggage in a sedan or SUV, and up to eight in a minivan. Larger groups are covered by running several vehicles together, see our page for groups.

Do you provide child seats?

Yes, infant, toddler and booster seats are available at no extra charge. Tell us the number and ages of the children when you book so the right seats are fitted before pickup.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before pickup. There is no deposit and nothing is charged when you book, so cancelling costs you nothing. If we cancel because of weather or road closures, you pay nothing at all.

How do we pay?

You pay at the end of the tour, by card or in cash, in ISK or EUR. Companies and hotels can be invoiced instead. Ask us and we will set it up.

Not sure which tour fits your day?

Tell us your dates, group size and pickup point, and we will put together a route that fits your schedule and send you a fixed quote.
