West of Iceland has it all. A natural pool, glacier, waterfalls, lava, and volcanoes. Also charming fishing villages and breathtaking views all around the Snæfellsnes peninsula. Few of our possible stops include Snæfellsjökull National Park with Djúpalónssandur, Hellnar, Arnarstapi and Gerduberg. Many of my favorite places are however not famous at all or crowded with people but nevertheless just as breathtaking and special. Our company is a small family based one. We are very passionate about our nature and we love our work. We focus on giving a great memorable experience to few people at the time. We want you to feel like you were visiting an old friend in Iceland that is showing you some of his island's most beautiful places.

Inclusions: Professional, local guide, Refreshments (hot chocolate and twisted daughnot), Local taxes, Drop off central in Reykjavik, All taxes, fees and handling charges, Pickup

Exclusions: Food and drinks, unless specified

This was one of the most fun private tours we did because of how engaging and knowledgeable our guide Dofri was. He kept us entertained with trivia, hilarious anecdotes and detailed information about the beautiful sights we saw. The different landscapes we drove and walked through were surreal, and the food we had in a small fishing village was delicious. Dofri went out of his way to make this a personalised and memorable experience for us and we are so thankful for that! Can't wait to do another tour the next time we're in Iceland.

Snaefellsnes is often also called Iceland in Miniature. While it may only take 3 hours to circumvent the whole peninsula, craters, glacier, and eerie rock formations, the vast geology diversity can take you the whole day just to have a closer look at its wonders. It’s also believed that one of seven mystical energy centers of the world is situated here, so pack up and get ready for a boost.

I booked two full day trips, transfers to and from airport and the Blue Lagoon with this company. We were a party of four adults that included two ‘seniors’ one of whom is disabled - me! All arrangements were agreed in writing and I was provided with a full, clear Itinerary for our stay. The drivers arrived at the expected time for each occasion and the vehicles were exceptionally good. They managed my scooter (and the luggage) cheerfully - both in actions and attitudes and I was treated with dignity at all times. The day trips in a 4 x 4 were outstanding and adjusted by agreement to meet the party’s desires and weather changes. Both of the young men who escorted our party were charming, informative and great company. By the end of both days, we were a family! Thank you so much Gisele and Audunn! Without doubt you can see the Golden Circle and the South Coast cheaper by coach tour or self-drive but neither can compare with the personal service and depth of knowledge about the island, it’s geography, society and culture provided by one’s own tour guide. The journeys in a 4 x 4 are more comfortable and exciting too!! If this is your first, your only or a special trip, don’t think twice about paying for the best if you can. This was my second visit to Iceland but hopefully not my last. Thank you Ao Thur for making it such fun and with more marvellous memories -again. Hugs Mary.

BJ gave us an excellent tour of the Rekjanes peninsula showing us sights we had not seen before. He was very informative and had a great deal of knowledge of the area. While the weather wasn't ideal being from Minnesota we are use to it we forged ahead seeing many great sight in ways many people rarely see. This gave us many great photos. Highly recommend BJ and BTH travel.

From Reykjavik, we drive for about one and a half hours to get to Gerduberg, a place famous for its colossal basalt columns. We then continue the journey to beautiful Arnarstapi, an old fishing village where you can walk along the cliffs and enjoy the view of the majestic Snæfellsjökull, in the Snæfellsjökull National Park. The tour will continue to volcano craters, black beaches, lighthouses, beautiful cliffs, and the famous Kirkjufell, the most photographed mountain in Iceland. We will drive you to secret places you will not see on a bus tour and, if we are lucky, we will get to see some seals or even whales before our return to Reykjavik in the evening.

We booked 5 days private tour with Iceland Premium Tours, and we were hosted by none other than the CEO Orvar himself. He has been very accommodating towards our request, and provided his unparalleled understanding of Iceland itself. We have been hit by bad weather thru the week, he never stopped a moment to suggest alternate alternatives, without compromising of safety. When we were on the way to the airport, knowing that we did not managed to see the aurora, he took a last effort and drove us to a location for a last ditch effort. And we managed to catch a glimpse of it finally! Thank you Orvar!

We had 9 people in our holiday party and this company was perfect for what we needed. Before we even booked, if I messaged them they replied promptly and were extremely helpful. They picked us up at the airport in a massive van with a trailer so all our luggage fit. Coming back they picked us up at 4am in the morning and the whole process of getting to the hotel and back to the airport was hassle free. Our plane came early but they were still there on time. The transfer wasn't the cheapest but it was worth it for the service and reliability. No waiting around. It was worth the extra dollars.

Thank you Helga for such a fun experience! We had our Blue Lagoon and Reykjavik tour in March of 2019 and we still think about how amazing the experience was. Helga was very knowledgeable and drove us around telling us about the city. She also brought us to the Blue Lagoon and dropped us back off. It was easy, convenient and affordable. We would do every tour with her if we could! We can’t wait until we can come back to Iceland !!!

We visited Iceland as a stop on a cruise and I had booked this tour for our party of 6. We were picked up at the cruise terminal gate by our driver/guide for the day, Denis.The transport was a Volkswagen multivan and was just right for us. I am no longer nimble but Denis gave me a hand when needed. We had a wonderful day enjoying a little of this beautiful country. Denis was very informative and passionate about his home. We had a number of stops and great photo opportunities. We also stopped at a tomato greenhouse restaurant and had a delicious lunch. We added The Secret Lagoon to our tour as an extra. The time passed too quickly but the day has given us fantastic memories. Sergei, who runs the company answered my questions pre-visit promptly and the booking process was simple.

We had a lovely time visiting Iceland. As we didn’t hire a car Helga’s customised tours ensured that we managed to see all of Iceland sights including going beyond the itinerary to take us to the beautiful Diamond beach. We started as customers but parted as friends- beautifully run tours of small sizes so as personalised as you would like and value for money at the same time.

What kind of guide you choose for your trip can make the whole difference. A good guide can make it a great experience, make you feel you are with friends, let you learn and discover more than expected. Skoli and iguide.is is all of this. Would easily choose iguide.is for my next visit to Iceland
