About Reykjavik Tours

A price quoted for Iceland six months ago is rarely the price today, and a season written into a headline is often the one thing a headline gets wrong. Reykjavik Tours publishes planning pages for Reykjavik and the sights reached from it, and settles three things before any of the rest: who is behind the page, where its facts and prices come from, and how the site pays for itself. The publisher is named below, and so is every partner that earns a commission from a link on this site.

Where the facts come from

A figure on this site is not treated as safe because it sounds specific. Most travel pages about Iceland copy a number from another travel page, and the error travels with it. Every price, fee, opening date or rule published here is checked against the party that actually sets it: a national park for its own entry rule, an operator's own domain for its own price, a government office for a travel requirement, never a reseller and never a page that competes with this one for the same reader.

For entry rules and travel advice, the US Department of State country page for Iceland is cited first and the UK FCDO travel advice for Iceland second, matching the site's mostly American and partly British readership. Weather, aurora forecasts and volcanic hazard come from the Icelandic Meteorological Office, road openings from Vegagerðin, and safety guidance for hikes and river crossings from Iceland's own search and rescue service. Where two official sources disagree, both are named in the same sentence rather than one being quietly dropped.

A price that changes with the season, such as a lagoon entry fee or a park parking charge, is written with the date it was checked, because Iceland's admission fees and road openings move from one year to the next and a bare number goes stale fast. A page that cannot support a figure with a source states the rule or the range without inventing the number that would complete it.

How the site earns money

A guide that names a tour, a hotel or a transfer usually has a reason for naming that one over another, and readers are right to ask what it is. Reykjavik Tours earns a commission when a reader books through certain links on this site: tours through GetYourGuide, hotels through Booking (shown through Stay22), multi-day packages through TourRadar, airport transfers through Viator, gear and travel items through Amazon, and eSIM or travel insurance products where those partnerships are live. The list is not exhaustive of every company operating in Iceland; it is the list of the ones that pay this site, and it is disclosed on every page carrying one of their links rather than folded into the text as if it were neutral advice.

A product's badge, rating or review count on this site comes from the partner's own catalogue, not from marketing copy, and a product that falls short of a quality floor is left off the page rather than included and buried. Being a paid partner does not exempt an operator from the same sourcing rule as everything else on the site: an age limit, a booking requirement or a safety rule attached to a paid product is checked against the operator's own page or the authority that sets the rule, such as a national park, and not against the partner's sales copy.

Common questions

Is Reykjavik Tours based in Iceland?

The publisher's address is Vesturgata 54, 155 Reykjavik, and that is the address listed for contact and correspondence.

Does a paid partner ever change what the site recommends?

A product is chosen against its own catalogue evidence, rating and review count, and a partner's commission does not raise a product above the quality floor applied to every listing.

How current are the prices and rules on the site?

Fees, opening dates and travel rules in Iceland move within a year, so pages state the date a figure was checked rather than presenting it as fixed.

Who can a reader contact with a question?

The publisher's email is hello@reykjavik.tours and the phone number is +354 454 6735.
