What are the benefits of a private tour?
Private tours allow for solitude, as well as the chance to set your own pace, taking time at your leisure to enjoy each of the attractions on your itinerary. Your tour guide will also be able to give individuals more attention, as well as answer all the questions they may have. Finally, private guides are more likely to take you to attractions off-the-beaten-path.
What sort of vehicles are used on private tours?
This depends on the particular provider, though many private tours are undertaken in
Super Jeeps, small minibuses, sprinters or regular cars.
Do I pay tips on a private tour?
Tips are not customary in Iceland. However, if you’ve had a great time on your tour and feel as though you’d like to offer your tour guide a little extra, no one is going to stop you!
Are private tours flexible and can I customise the itinerary?
Yes, most private tours will allow for a greater level of flexibility and customisation when it comes to your itinerary.
Can the guide take me for outdoor activities or special experiences other than sightseeing?
Yes, on some tours there will be an opportunity during the booking process to add-on extra activities. Depending on the tour in question, this could be glacier hiking, snorkelling, horseback riding and so much more! Some tours, however, do not offer extra activities.
