Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until 24 hours before departure; no refund after that. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

Who this is not for

  • Not for late risers on your first morning — the earliest departure is 06:00, and Reykjavík pickups start before that.
  • Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

    I had an excellent experience with Transfer Suite. The taxi arrived exactly on time in the morning, and the entire journey was smooth, comfortable, and well organized. The driver was professional, friendly, and very respectful, which made the trip even more enjoyable. I truly appreciate the company’s reliability, punctuality, and high standard of customer service. Everything was handled perfectly from start to finish. I highly recommend Transfer Suite to anyone looking for a dependable and professional transportation service, and I will definitely use them again in the future. Thank you, Transfer Suite, for the outstanding service!

    We booked an airport transfer with sight seeing with IceTransfer for party of 5 with loads of luggage. Hasan Al Haj came to KEF to pick us up. We took a long time because of our party. No issues at all! Hasan did a fabulous job with the sight seeing part. He observed our interest and actually made additional stop at a point of interest on the way. We arrived at our destination 5 minutes ahead of schedule. The guy timed everything to the T. If you come to Reykjavik to visit with a big group, IceTransfer is the way to go. Bravo to Hasan!

    This company is one of the most honest service providers I have encountered in a long time. Due to a sudden illness in my party, I had to cancel a scheduled and paid for roundtrip transfer from the cruise port in Reykjavik to the Blue Lagoon and back. I called early in the morning the day before the service and had to cancel. The owner (I believe) answered his cell phone and promised to refund our money without having my reservation handy. He did as he promised and I received a refund. I would hire this company for any service they offer, I thank them for their integrity and hope whoever reads this review will proudly hire them. Thank You Iceland Airport Transfer & Taxi, and custom transportation service.

    We used Ihab for 2 trips today. He picked us up from the airport and transported us to the Retreat at Blue Lagoon. He was prompt, courteous and of course a good driver. As he left a great impression, we also used him to transport us to our hotel in Reykjavik the same day. We arranged when he dropped us off at Blue Lagoon and was equally prompt on the next excursion. Have complete comfort in him and plan to use him when we return
