Description

Discover Iceland's capital city's most memorable spots and must-see attractions on this customizable private driving tour. This thrilling five-hour adventure takes travelers around Reykjavik to see some of its fascinating museums, iconic landmarks, and old-town charm.

The action begins when a friendly driver-guide picks you up from your Reykjavik accommodation or the port. You'll then ride a comfortable vehicle to different stops around the city.

Booking a private driving tour around Reykjavik offers many advantages, especially if you want a more personalized and comfortable exploration of Iceland's capital. One of the primary benefits is the flexibility and customization of the tour.

Unlike group tours, private tours allow you to create an itinerary tailored to your interests and pace, ensuring a unique and memorable experience. In this case, you can tell your guide exactly what you want to see, let them choose what they consider the most impressive sites, or discuss tailoring an itinerary based on your interests.

Your first stop can be any of Reykjavik's iconic landmarks, like the Hallgrimskirkja church. Named after the renowned Icelandic poet and clergyman Hallgrímur Petursson, the Hallgrimskirkja church boasts an impressive architectural design with a striking exterior inspired by Iceland's basalt lava flows.

Another important landmark you can visit is the Harpa Concert and Conference Hall. In addition to hosting concerts, festivals, and exhibitions, Harpa is known for its stunning architecture, which features over 1,000 geometric glass panels that reflect and refract light in different colors.

You may also visit Solfar or the Sun Voyager, a steel sculpture resembling a Viking ship. However, Jon Gunnar Arnason, the artist behind the Sun Voyager, clarified that the sculpture is not a Viking ship. Instead, it's an ode to the sun, symbolizing hope, progress, and freedom.

The guide can also take you to the Grotta lighthouse, which is on the westernmost tip of Reykjavik. The Grotta lighthouse has become a natural reserve, offering a peaceful escape from the bustling city.

Guests interested in Iceland's nature can visit the Perlan museum. Perched atop Oskjuhlid Hill in Reykjavik, the Perlan offers an immersive experience of Iceland's natural wonders and scientific achievements. However, the most distinguishing feature that makes the Perlan a tourist attraction is its rotating glass dome.

In addition, the Perlan boasts a 360-degree observation deck that provides panoramic views of Reykjavik and its surrounding landscapes.

The tour can also include a trip along Laugavegur Street in the heart of Reykjavik. Known as the city's main shopping area, Laugavegur Street is home to various shops, boutiques, cafes, and restaurants, offering some of the best local creations.

Since this is a bespoke tour, you can book extra activities as long as they fit within the five-hour schedule. You can visit other museums and exhibitions like the Penis Museum, the Wonders of Iceland, and FlyOver Iceland.
