About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Pistachon2790 contributionsA great National Park.A great national park in the Reykjavik area. The view from the point of view is just fantastic. Just one hour away from the city. Don't miss it.Written 23 September 2024
- juliekN7216ZO0 contributionsAmazing!We had the pleasure of having Karl as our tour guide for 5 days. He showed us fun filled days full of amazing sites and history. He was so attentive, knowledgeable and listened to what we wanted to see. A must if you want to see all of Iceland!Written 9 September 2024
- ahindley0417630 contributionsMake Prime Tours (Private Tour) part of your Iceland Bucket List - AMAZING!!!!I cannot say enough about this company. First of all, I selected it as it was a family run company as I felt they would be more responsive and helpful in planning the perfect private day tour experience after our cruise ship departure before going to the airport in the late afternoon. Boy was I right! If 5 stars is excellent, they get 10! I think I spoke to every member of the family in the planning stage. My husband & I wanted to do Fly Over Iceland, the Lava Show as well as seeing some of the city (as we did the Golden Circle the day before through the cruise ship - also excellent). We did not go to Sky Lagoon (but closest option to select) BUT if we had wanted to, we would have gone there as WAY nicer than the touristy Blue Lagoon (per all we spoke to). And Villi, our driver, he was just the best! A friend of the family who runs the company, he was prompt in pick up, showed us a ton of awesome places around the city between our 2 shows, and was funny, informative and just all around a fantastic guy! I could go on and on, but this private tour was the PERFECT ending to an amazing trip - put Iceland on your bucket list and when you go, put Prime Tours on that list as well!!!!Written 15 June 2024
- Resort061484605410 contributionsExemplary Experience with this CompanyMy husband and I wanted to take the opportunity to commend our driver, Ingunn, for going above and beyond the call of duty, to assure that we received two extremely important pieces of our carry-on luggage, left at the hotel, that contained our passports, my husband’s medical supplies, and other important documents and records. She stood by our side, contacted the hotel and the Viking representative to convey the sense of urgency and location of where the bags were left at the hotel. Ingunn, also arranged for a driver to transport the two bags which resulted in our ability to board our flight in time. We greatly appreciate her efforts, and I will also be posting a message on Trip Advisor, recommending your agency. Our best, Cassi and Dean BirnbaumWritten 17 September 2023
- bethbythesea0 contributionsHighly recommended!What a delightful tour! My husband and I booked this tour before getting on a cruise ship. Our lovely guide, Anna, was excellent, and a wealth of information. The park was beautiful, and the drive there was interesting and in a comfortable vehicle. I highly recommend this tour!Written 7 September 2023
- Jpj800 contributionsBewareDriver was aggressive - resulting in damaged luggage. I pointed the damage out to him but he was unconcerned. I contacted the Sales and Marketing Manager at Prime. He initially responded - but then he ghosted me after I submitted the documentation he requested, I am left with a Tumi bag that cannot be repaired. I understand that things happen - but this company didn’t do the right thing to fix it. Let future customers bewareWritten 1 September 2023
- melissahI2572NO0 contributionsDefinitely worth a visitIt’s a great option to do the Blue Lagoon right after you land. It’s on the way into Reykjavik, and you can loosen your muscles up after a long flight. Blue Lagoon is a little touristy, but if you haven’t been there, you should still make a point of visiting! Make sure to walk around the back and don’t just see the inside…there are beautiful sites!Written 20 July 2023
- SoozyQoo0 contributionsFriendly and 100% hassle-free trip to the airport!Door-to-door, this punctual service made what is usually a luggage-wrangling hassle into a total pleasure. The vehicle was immaculate and had plenty of room for our mountain of bags. But, the best part was our friendly driver who was professional, engaging and knowledgeable about all the areas we drove through. She even returned to the airport when we accidentally left a small package in the vehicle. Highly recommend!!Written 14 April 2023
- suryarav0 contributionsGreat experience!Great experience. I had to change the time three times because of travel Issues and they responded right away making adjustments. The driver was waiting with my name right at arrivals. He gave me time to grab some coffee for the road and also picked up a couple of my group from the airport hotel. Very accommodating. Thank you!!Written 26 December 2022
- 41anajuliad0 contributionsWe recomend Karl!we did a 7 day tour with karl, he is very attentive and tells a lot of nice stories. for sure if you go on any tour in Iceland with Karl you will have an amazing time. Greetings Ana and Anna from Brazil.Written 24 December 2022
- 807sherryz0 contributionsIceland Is AwesomeWe went on a three day tour of Iceland after our cruise to the Arctic Circle. Ingunn was our driver and she did a great job not only driving but pointing out various locations and history of the region.Written 23 October 2022
- Skebenga0 contributionsExcellent serviceI was a guide on a 3-day private tour with 6 guests and the driver Siggurdur Holm Sigurdsson contributed greatly to a successful tour; he is not just an excellent driver, but also very flexible and knowledgeable and willing to create an excellent experience for everyone. Thank you,Written 19 October 2022
- Sunshine7267240 contributionsIngi is the best in the biz!We, a family of two parents and two adult children, had the best 1-day tour of the highlights of the Golden Circle. Ingi, our guide, picked us up at our hotel in a well-appointed, comfortable minivan and drove us around all day to a variety of sites. At each destination he provided in-depth background and context for us while pointing out the best way to visit the places so that we could get the most out of our visit. When we asked about a lunch stop, rather than just stopping at a cafe or hotel, Ingi took us to yet another place where we could eat some good food and learn more about Iceland. Ingi patiently answered in his native quality English all of our questions about a multitude of topics about Iceland, Icelandic history, the language and culture. Our day with him was one of the best during our short stay in Iceland. He is the best guide out there so be sure to request him when booking!Written 2 October 2022
- MysticGal3550 contributionsHighly Recommend this Tour Company!Wow! From the very start of the tour and meeting guide Villi at our hotel, this was an incredible way to spend the day seeing some of the sights of Iceland. Villi was so knowledgeable and went out of his way to drive the more scenic routes and to take the “road less traveled” making for a unique experience seeing Iceland through the eyes of a local. The benefit of a private tour is that your guide gets to know you and your interests, so you learn about the things that matter to you. For us, that was all about Icelandic history but also about the geothermal technology (amazing!) and all of the ways Iceland is working to stop climate change. We can’t recommend this tour company enough- we will be returning to Iceland again (there is so much more yet to see) and will definitely be booking with Prime Tours again!Written 22 September 2022
- gregm683290 contributionsGreat ride!We used Prime Tours for pickup from our hotel, a morning at the Blue Lagoon, and then back to Reykjavik. Everything was great. The car was ontime, clean and luxurious. The driver was pleasant, polite. He handled everything for us and it was a great, relaxing morning. Highly recommend.Written 3 September 2022

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My family group, consisting of 7, booked a private Golden Circle Day Tour with Prime Tours. Our guide was Ingi and he was fantastic. Every person on the trip had a great time and made memories that will last a lifetime. My Uncle was particularly interested in the geology of Iceland and Ingi was able to answer all his questions as well as variety of other questions from the rest of the group. We travelled in a luxury Mercedes van that had plenty of room for everyone. My favorite stop was Gullfoss Waterfall, but every moment was wonderful. I hope to get back to Iceland soon and would love to see more sights with Prime Tours.

While I booked a wheelchair-friendly tour from Iceland Unlimited, they ended up being a middle-man for another company, which in this case, was Prime Tours. But, I'm so glad it happened! This tour company and tour guide were absolutely amazing!
From a wheelchair user's standpoint, it was great. The van was neither too large nor too small. Our guide helped out with everything from pushing up a ramp to transfers to a seat in the van. And whatever else I may've needed as a wheelchair user, our guide would gladly have tried to help us out with!
From a tour perspective, our guide was GREAT! He knew history, geology, social issues and so much more. He never got tired of my questions, and he enjoyed sharing all about his country with us. One of my favorite memories is going through a gift shop and while my wife was finding some things, he was telling me more about the elves, trolls, and runes I've been seeing on things. Also, the bus itself was smaller than larger tour busses so we got to travel to some places that a larger tour could not.
And, of course, Iceland itself is just plain beautiful!
So, thank you, Prime Tours for your great job! I don't think I can recommend you enough to other perspective users! If we ever get back there, I hope to connect with you all again.

Looks like a great tour! Just two questions- what type of sedan is it (SUV or jeep-like, sedan, etc.) and why are there no reviews of this tour?
Thanks,
Peter Unger
