Golden Circle Glacier Super Jeep Tour / guided private tour

Kristjan picked us up at our hotel in Old Town in a super comfortable 4x4, and deftly navigated the snowy streets of Reykjavik as we made our way out of the city. Our ride along the Golden Circle was warm, comfortable, and informative, as we engaged in an easy conversation about…well, everything. Kristjan has been conducting tours for over 30 years - before it was as cool of a destination for tourists. He’s seen so much change in that time, and has so much experience taking people all over Iceland in so many different ways, he’s a trove of information. He is the authentic tour guide. Seasoned. Experienced. Prepared. Easy to talk with. Excellent advice in navigating our stops. On the unpaved road to Langjökull, when the snow got deep, a souped-up Sprinter from another tour got stuck in the snow. Kristjan was able to go around them, off road, in fresh snow, to get us back on track again. I felt very safe, that his vehicle could get us anywhere we wanted to be! We had the very best time on this private tour. Sure, it can be fun to be with other travelers in larger tours and associate with other foreigners as you make new discoveries - the downside is that your experiences are standard, not unique, and you a can become lost within a sea of people. This tour was pricier than others, yet we absolutely got 10X return on our investment with the special experience of personal service that we enjoyed together as a family. He has made custom trips as well, and when we return, we are definitely going to work with Kristjan again.

Do not go to Iceland without first booking Mountain Taxi - Iceland!! It is the only way to see Iceland, the drivers are very friendly and helpful. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with. They kept a close eye on the weather to ensure that we did not miss any planned activities and were very flexible in adapting their service to our needs. I cannot recommend them enough.
