About this experience

This private 5-hour tour connects your transfer between Keflavík Airport and Reykjavík with a fully customisable sightseeing experience. A professional driver-guide meets you at the airport on arrival or at your accommodation for departure, ensuring a seamless and personal start or end to your Iceland trip.

Over five hours, the itinerary is shaped around your preferences. You may explore the geothermal landscapes of the Reykjanes Peninsula, take in the cultural highlights of Reykjavík City, or include optional stops such as the Blue Lagoon — note that entry to the Blue Lagoon and any other add-on activities are not included in the base price and carry separate charges.

Travel in a modern, comfortable private vehicle with your guide's undivided attention throughout. The drive between Keflavík Airport and Reykjavík takes approximately 45 minutes each way, so factor that into your sightseeing window when planning stops along the route.

Groups of up to 18 passengers are accommodated as standard. Larger groups are welcome — contact the operator directly to arrange. The tour is available in English, Spanish, French, and German, and is operated by Your Friend in Reykjavik.
