Iceland Premium Tours is truly Premium! - We used Iceland Premium Tours for 2 days to primarily see the Northern Lights and Golden Circle. Orvar took us around on both days. His knowledge of Icelandic history, geology, topography etc. is unparalleled. He knew the quiet spot near the city to see the Northern Lights perfectly. He also took us to Gullfoss, Tomato farm, Geyser and Crater. We have seen Gullfoss during summer many years ago and that was an outstanding experience. However, the sight now is exactly like how it is in winter fairy tales! If you want to see Iceland properly, call Iceland Premium Tours!

Golden Circle Without the Crowds - We did a private Golden Circle tour with Orvar before our cruise, and it was fantastic! Seeing all the sites without the crowds and tour buses made the experience so much more enjoyable. We loved having the flexibility to spend extra time in certain places, and Orvar’s knowledge made the tour both fun and insightful. He was super engaging and he got our 9-year-old hooked on the local Lava chocolate bar! If you only have one day, this is the way to do it. Highly recommended.

1 BILLION STARS!!!!!! - If there were a 1 billion star rating Iceland Premium Tours deserves it⭐️ My husband and I did the Golden Circle Tour and the owner, Orvar, was our guide. There just aren’t enough words to express how amazing our time with Orvar was. He’s SO sweet and just full of information having been born and raised in Iceland. He knows all of the best spots. Orvar shared a lot of Iceland’s history with us which we certainly treasure all of the interesting things that he shared with us. When he dropped us off at the airport to return home, I couldn’t help but cry. We’ve travelled quite a lot and this trip is definitely THE BEST TRIP EVER!!!!!!!

Above and beyond - This was surely our best guided tour ever. Not only we had a chance to visit memorable places, but the experience with our guide Orvar was well beyond any standard you can set: charming, lovable… You can run out of adjectives to describe such a good man as Orvar, he will stay in our hearts forever.

Amazing Trip of a Lifetime - Working with this company was nothing but easy from the start. Living in the United States and communicating through email/ whatsapp was simple with fast response times. We were able to customize our trip ahead of time and pick and choose what options best suited us with some feedback form our guide Orvar to make the trip more efficient. We were able to see the lights in the country, hike a volcano, snowmobile on a glacier, enjoy three different lagoon experineces (Sky Lagoon was our favorite!). 5G Wifi in the Van made the trip enjoyable and helped us coordinate our night time plans in Reykjavik. Orvar offered nothing but assistance and great recomendations when ever we were searching for activities or dining. Orvar also helped us plan our secret engagement by multiple beautiful waterfalls with a hidden photographer. He will always be part of the family and we cannot wait to get back to Iceland!

Thank you!! - We booked 5 days private tour with Iceland Premium Tours, and we were hosted by none other than the CEO Orvar himself. He has been very accommodating towards our request, and provided his unparalleled understanding of Iceland itself. We have been hit by bad weather thru the week, he never stopped a moment to suggest alternate alternatives, without compromising of safety. When we were on the way to the airport, knowing that we did not managed to see the aurora, he took a last effort and drove us to a location for a last ditch effort. And we managed to catch a glimpse of it finally! Thank you Orvar!

Spectacular - Really well-organised day. Our driver, who was none other than Örvar, the CEO and owner of the tour company, massively contributed to the day’s activities. Excellent knowledge and history of landmarks, and above else, really good company. He also was able to get us discount at the Secret Lagoon, and at Solon which is a nice restaurant/bar in Reykjavik. Unfortunately we were unable to visit the glacier due to poor weather conditions. The overall flow of the day was enjoyed by all of us and would definitely recommend for a small group of friends.
