We booked the trip from New York, and we’d heard of Sarah through friends in India. The trip was very meticulously planned, and proved to be a very good respite during the pandemic. Iceland is a very beautiful country, and Arago added quite a few unconventional stops on our tripX which made it even more memorable.

We highly recommend Luca's Raven tours. Luca is an excellent guide. His knowledge and manner make him the perfect guide. We wanted a family tour (me and 2 teenagers) so we could go at our own pace, get lots of local knowledge and not worry about driving conditions. We got that and more on the 2 separate day tours we booked with him. If we'd had more time we would have done another one. Thanks so much, Luca.

In this private tour you will be driving in a comfortable vehicle to natural treasures with a local guide. Geysir hot spring area, Gullfoss waterfall, Þingvellir National Park, Kerið volcanic crater and Faxi waterfall. When you visit those places in a day trip the locals always talk about it as the Golden Circle. Extra photo stops are made at carefully selected locations along the way. Farm visit with the possibility of trying ice cream made on the farm is also on the itinerary. This tour is guided with a local certified guide which partly grew up in this area so if you want some inside stories and see those sights through the eyes of a local this tour might be the one for you.

Our Reykjavik walking tour is your introduction to Reykjavik. It will help you get your bearings and make the most of your stay in Iceland. We recommend it as your first stop. You'll be shown where the Vikings first settled and how Reykjavik developed into the country’s capital.

But, we’ll also share hidden, local spots with you like a visit to an Elf stone; things you’d miss if you didn’t know what to look for. We want you to feel the unique, friendly atmosphere of our quirky little city, not just to see the most popular tourist attractions. We will also point out our favorite places to eat, drink and visit in Reykjavik so your time here is well spent.

My husband and I did a food tour during our visit to Reykjavik this April. Despite many restaurants being closed due to Covid, our guide did an awesome job of putting together a great itinerary. We also really appreciated the many recommendations that he emailed us post tour. It was a great introduction to Iceland! We would definitely do another tour if we came back to Reykjavik.
