Highlights

The Golden Circle is Iceland´s most popular day trip, for good reason. You see the one and only original Geysir. Having Gullfoss waterfall in front of you is worth a day trip on its own. Þingvellir is a National Park, nature reserve, UNESCO World Heritage site, and split by the Mid-Atlantic Rift. But by using our Super jeeps, we can also add the huge Langjökull glacier to your list of impressions. We start the day in Þingvellir, where the Parliament of Iceland was founded in 930 AD. There, you get a view from “the edge of America” over the Mid-Atlantic continental divide. Continuing, we pass the geothermal heated Laugarvatn lake before arriving at the Great Geysir hot spring area, peppered with small and large boiling water springs. The most spectacular one, Strokkur, blasts boiling water up to 30m skywards, up to 3 times in a minute. After quality time at Geysir, a short drive takes us to Gullfoss waterfall, Iceland’s most visited, where glacier melt water thunders in two stages into a 70m deep basalt canyon. We then maneuver a gravel track snaking up mountains towards Europe’s second largest glacier, Langjökull. There, a snowmobile ride is optional if pre-booked, of course dependent on weather, conditions, and time of year. In the afternoon, we descend again and traverse the South Iceland agricultural heartland on our way home to Reykjavik

Terrific private tour of Iceland - Last June we stopped in Reykjavik on our way home from the UK and were there for 48 hours. Mountain Taxi was such a great way to spend the full day we were there! Our daughters were 12 and 9 and our guide, Bekki (sp?) was wonderful with them. He was knowledgeable and funny, and spoke English perfectly. We saw all the golden circle sites in addition to going on top of a glacier! We could fill our water bottles with glacier water and our daughters were just talking about that the other day. I can’t recommend this tour more, and I’m sorry I’ve been so delayed with it!

Drive on the glacier - Our guide Beggi was educational and so much fun! We had a wonderful day trip and saw all the Golden Circle must see sights. On top of that we got to do some off roading and even got to drive on the glacier with the super jeep! This trip was worth every penny

Great tour! - Great tour with informed guide and comfortable vehicle. We were able to see many sites in one day. Only suggestion would be to have a stool to aid older folks getting into vehicle. Thanks for a great day!

Personal service, stunning views of Iceland - 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.

The only way to travel around and see Iceland - 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. James & Elaine Seymour, Ireland

Alot of money but did not live up to our expectation - Seeing the beauty, and barrenness of iceland. Enjoyed the standout landscape . Iceland had it all. Unfortunately the glacier experience let us down. This was to be the experience which was highlighted but because of certain weather conditions the mountaing taxi could only just get onto the glacier before it was bogged. What a disappointment. I had in my mond eye a ndifferent outcome of driving along the ice and experiencing the piercing white snow but all we saw was slugg.
