We used Orvar and Premium Tours for our weeklong stay in Iceland. This was the best tour I’ve ever taken. Orvar was very knowledgeable and very witty. We covered the city, Blue Lagoon, Golden Circle, spent a night out at the glacier lagoon and Diamond Beach. We got to see the Northern lights twice and got fantastic pictures. He knew the best places to eat and even got us in to a couple places that were sold out. A great time. Can’t wait to go back.

I can't say enough good things about this tour - it was an amazing tour day! Orvar picked us up from our hotel right on time and safely drove us out to our many stops, pointing out interesting sites and sharing details about Iceland along the way. And what sites! We saw waterfalls and beaches and volcanos and glaciers and....!!!! The list goes on and on. There wasn't one highlight of the tour because all were spectacular, especially with Orvar's education and humor to bring the stops to life. The weather changed for the worse after our boat ride around the Glacier Lagoon (add-on), and he didn't bat an eye when we dragged our saturated selves back into the car. We never once worried about our safety, despite the poor weather. From a practical perspective, Orvar made sure we had plenty of rest stops and drinks/food. He patiently answered all questions and was a wealth of information. We never suffered or worried about the length of the day which was quite long in retrospect. We left at 8AM and returned after 10PM. It didn't feel long because we were engaged the entire time. I would highly recommend this tour and company to anyone visiting Iceland! I have Orvar's business card and will be sharing his information with our friends who are drooling over the many photos taken during the tour! Book it - you won't be disappointed!

We did several tours while in Iceland and all were with Iceland Premium Tours and all were excellent. Glacier Lagoon and the Ice Caves were certainly highlights. Iceland is an interesting and beautiful country and we were able to experience much of it even though it was winter. Orvar was our guide/driver all week and he was able to take us to the many spectacular sites on the island. Orvar was born and raised in Iceland and has great insight into its natural phenomena and its history and culture. He made sure we experienced some Icelandic traditions and often started the day with a local treat. We thoroughly enjoyed every day we spent with him and highly recommend him and Iceland Premium Tours for private or small group tours in Iceland.
