We opted for a private bus tour of the Golden Circle with Grayline Bus. It was the most aggravating experience. The tour was delayed by 2 1/2 hours. Communication was abysmal and almost non-existent. Nerves were frayed so it was a very bad start to the tour. I had done this tour back in 2000. I felt bad for anyone who was in Reykjavik for the first time. It was a good thing we were overnight in port. Otherwise, I fear we would have missed the ship if it were a regular departure time. Read Less

Rented a car - they picked us up at the port. Did the "Golden Circle" on our own. Since the ship stayed overnight we didn't feel rushed to get back in time. The next day we did the Blue Lagoon. Highly recommended, but get tickets well in advance. Read Less

Bathing in the Blue Lagoon – Great excursion. The tour guide talked too much. This was too early in the morning. Read Less

Had a rental car again, and work an overnight stay we were able to cover a lot of ground. Hraunfosser was spectacular - we covered a northerly route the first day, hitting the Golden Circle highlights. We got up at 4 AM the next day to make sure we had ample time for a drive to Fjadrargljufur Canyon, which is well worth the lost sleep. It has just opened for the season the day before, and words can't do it justice. Read Less

We had an overnight stop. I took the Gray Line tour of the Golden Circle. That was good and less expensive than the ship. The next day the ship had shuttle buses (U.S.$18.00 return) and dropped people off at the Harpa Concert Hall. Walked around the capital finding basically everything I wanted to see. Read Less

Needed more time at the Parliament Read Less

Good choice of stops, lots of them, and enough time at each. Read Less

We were disappointed that our Northern Lights tour was canceled due to weather conditions but were glad to at least visit this wonderful city. Read Less

Eight of us in our group set up and hired a private guide for 2 days. Wonderfull experience. We found the guide through this site. Much cheaper than anything offered by NCL. Read Less

OK to walk around. Would have preferred the tour to the Blue Lagoon, Viking museum and Geothermal fields, but NCL screwed us out of that. Read Less

We had only a small time here. I think the northern landscape was more interesting Read Less

Did the hop on hop off. We went into town and did not realize the bus is available right from the pier. Read Less

Have visited Reykjavik before and done the normal excursions so this time we walked from the ship (berth about an hour's pleasant walk along coast or £18 return on shuttle bus provided by port) to the harbour area. Harpa cultural centre is a good stop for film on Iceland, shopping, free wi-fi and free toilets (not always the case in Iceland!). Harbour area is interesting with several museums/galleries and interesting eating places (including my favourite Valdis ice cream opposite maritime museum!) Read Less

We spent 2 days at this port so first day we booked this 10 hour tour. It was crazy trying to find tour bus at port. We saw 2 big waterfalls, glaciers, black sand beach was great. Read Less

Hired a car for the two days and drove all the usual touristy spots. Would recommend. Read Less

Exceptional lunch at Hotel |Geysir . Interesting stops knowledgeable guide. Read Less

We rented a 9 px van with two other couples and drove around Iceland. Very expensive country but beautiful and interesting. Eurocar is right at the port though I rented from Hertz who picked us up at the port. Read Less

Loved the scenery and the bathing experience. Read Less

We wanted to be away from the crowds of cruise people who had signed up for the Golden Circle so booked our own small independent tour in a smaller vehicle. Read Less

We booked a private tour with Icelandic Taxi Tours and being private it included everything we wished to see. Reykjavik was an amazing and lovely port. Read Less

An enjoyable day for our return visit. We just walked the town and did some fun shopping/ Read Less

Suggest car rental to see geothermal sites. Book Blue Lagoon tickets well in advance. Read Less

Just a walk about -- very expensive here -- really expensive. Read Less

Great long 8 hour tour with seasoned driver who knew so much. although long and tiring the sights were worth it Read Less
