Frequently Asked Questions About Private Day Tours Iceland
What's the Difference between Private and Group Tours?
Private day tours in Iceland are exclusively for your party – you choose the pace, stops, and focus areas. Group tours follow fixed schedules with 20-40+ people on large buses. Our Iceland private tours offer flexibility, personal attention, and intimate experiences impossible on group tours.
Can I Customize My Private Tour Itinerary?
Absolutely! Customization is the core benefit of our private day tours in Iceland. Want to spend more time photographing waterfalls? Interested in specific geological formations? Need bathroom breaks for children? We adjust everything to your needs while ensuring you experience the best of each location.

Iceland’s weather is unpredictable. We recommend:
- Layers: Base layer, fleece/wool middle layer, waterproof outer layer
- Waterproof jacket and pants (essential year-round)
- Sturdy hiking boots with good traction
- Warm hat and gloves (even in summer)
- Sunglasses (sun reflects off snow/ice/water)
Our guide will provide specific recommendations based on your tour and season.
Are meals included in private day tours?
No, lunch stops are scheduled at local restaurants or cafes where you can purchase meals (not included in tour price). We can recommend excellent dining options or adjust timing based on your preferences.
What happens if weather is bad?
Iceland’s weather changes rapidly. Our guides monitor forecasts in real-time and adjust itineraries to ensure the best experience.

Prior to our trip we contacted 8+ transfer companies about three transfer journeys. IceTransfer were not only the quickest to reply and most helpful, but also offered the most competitive rate. Our driver arrived promptly and on time for every journey and our trip ran perfectly as a result. We also booked a private northern lights tour through IceTransfer. Our driver drove us around for a number of hours, and although we did see the northern lights on the first trip, because they were not very bright our driver offered to take us out again for a retry later in our trip. Overall we had a great trip and would recommend IceTransfer for anyone looking to book a trip to Iceland.Posted on Passport37629215856Verified Exceptional Service We are happy with IceTransfer. The driver was spot on time, the car was clean and very luxurious and the communication was easy and professional. What most impressed us was the personal touch: - in fact, he drove exclusvely only for us till to go on top of the volcano. We felt so safe, well taken care of and very much appreciated the extra mile. This service is always, friendly, reliable and very customer orientated. We can fully recommend IceTransfer.Posted on Abbas AVerified Excellent and friendly transfer service in Reykjavik I had a great experience with **Iceland Ice Transfer** in Reykjavik.
