Learn about the church and its unique architecture while exploring the surrounding area. If time allows, you can choose to visit the tower for panoramic views across Reykjavík.
The Sun Voyager
Head to Reykjavík’s waterfront to see The Sun Voyager (Sólfar), one of the city’s most photographed sculptures.
Its waterfront location offers beautiful views across the bay towards the mountains. Therefore, this is also a great stop for photos during your private Reykjavík tour.
Grótta Lighthouse and the Reykjavík Coast
Next, leave the busy city centre behind and travel towards Grótta Lighthouse at the western edge of Reykjavík.
Enjoy views across the Atlantic Ocean and experience a quieter side of the capital. Depending on the season and conditions, you may also spot local birdlife and wildlife in the area.
Perlan and Panoramic Reykjavík Views

Built on geothermal hot-water tanks, Perlan offers impressive panoramic views over Reykjavík and the surrounding landscape. It also houses exhibitions dedicated to Icelandic nature and geology.
Discover Reykjavík’s Hidden Gems
Your private tour does not have to focus only on famous landmarks. Your guide can also introduce you to lesser-known Reykjavík locations.
Depending on your interests, this could include colourful neighbourhoods, street art, local viewpoints and other places that visitors can easily miss when exploring the city alone.
Make Your Private Reykjavík Tour Your Own
The biggest advantage of this tour is flexibility. The places above are examples rather than a fixed itinerary.
You can tell your guide what interests you most and shape the experience around your group. You may want to focus on history and architecture, photography, local culture or simply see as much of Reykjavík as possible.
Longer versions of the private driving tour can also allow time for museums and exhibitions. Any entrance fees, additional activities or extra hours are charged separately.
This way, every private Reykjavík driving tour can be a little different — and designed around the people taking it.
