Private tours from Reykjavík.
Your own guide, your own vehicle, your own day.

A small licensed Reykjavík operator running private day tours — the Golden Circle first, in every season, from your hotel, the cruise port or Keflavík Airport. One price per group of up to eight.

What private means here

One guide, one vehicle, one group. That's the whole product.

Midnight Sun runs private day tours from Reykjavík. Not "small group", not "semi-private" — your party alone, with a licensed Icelandic guide-driver who leaves when you say, stops when you say and stays as long as you like. The price is per group of up to eight, VAT included, entrances included, hotel pickup included.

We are small, new and licensed (Ferðamálastofa 2026-097), and we run one route properly before adding more. That route is the Golden Circle.

Our tours

The Golden Circle, four ways

Something else in mind — the South Coast, Snæfellsnes, a photography day, a custom route around a family occasion? Ask. Private means flexible, and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a day we can run well yet.

Why people book private

The reasons we hear most

  • Four or more of you — the group price works out near a minibus seat per person, without the minibus
  • Children, grandparents, or anyone who doesn't do well on a fixed 20-minute stop
  • A birthday, anniversary or proposal that needs the right spot and a patient photographer
  • A cruise call or a flight with a hard deadline and no appetite for risk
  • Photographers who want the light, not the timetable
  • People who simply don't want to share a day in Iceland with forty strangers

Questions

Asked before this tour

What's included in a private tour?

A licensed guide-driver and vehicle for your group only, hotel pickup and drop-off in the capital area, all entrances and parking on the route, fuel and VAT. Food, admission at optional add-on stops and pickup outside the capital area are the only extras, and they're priced before you pay.

Do you run private tours other than the Golden Circle?

Not yet as published products — we're running the Golden Circle properly first. If you have a specific day in mind (South Coast, Snæfellsnes, a custom route), ask; if we can run it well we'll quote it, and if we can't we'll say so and point you somewhere good.

Are you licensed?

Yes — Midnight Sun (Mangofit ehf.) holds Ferðamálastofa day tour provider licence 2026-097 under the Act on the Icelandic Tourist Board no. 96/2018, and our vehicles are licensed and insured for commercial passenger transport. You can check the public register linked in our footer.

How much does a private Golden Circle tour cost?

154,900 kr for a private group of 1–4 and 184,900 kr for 5–8, VAT included — per group, not per person. For a family of four that's about 38,725 kr each; for eight, about 23,112 kr each, which is close to a small-group minibus seat but with your own guide, your own timing and nobody else on board. Entrances, parking and Reykjavík hotel pickup are included; the only extras are optional add-on stops with admission fees, Keflavík pickup (25,000 kr) and extra hours (15,000 kr each).

When should we depart?

Whenever suits you — that's the point of a private tour. Early departures beat the coach crowds to every stop; in summer, evening departures get the midnight-sun light and even emptier viewpoints. Tell us your plans and we'll recommend a time for your dates.

How do we pay, and when?

Send the request, we confirm your date by email within a few hours, and you pay by card (Visa / Mastercard) through a secure Straumur link. Nothing is charged until you've confirmed, and your date is reserved once payment is received. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

What languages does the guide speak?

English (Icelandic, and other languages on request). Every guide is a licensed local who drives, guides and takes the photos — one person for the whole day, so you're not handed between a driver and a guide.

Where do you pick up?

Any hotel, guesthouse or address in Reykjavík. Pickup in Hafnarfjörður, Garðabær and Kópavogur is included; Keflavík is 25,000 kr; Selfoss or Hveragerði on request.
