All of the above is computed from Mountain Taxi's own 13 product records, not from a questionnaire. Fleet size and typical group sizes are the figures a comparison table usually shows; Bókun does not carry them, so we would be guessing, and we would rather leave a gap than fill it in.

From the operator's own Bókun vendor record. The year is when the company's registration number was issued, which is the closest thing to a founding date that can be checked at skatturinn.is; the brand may be older or younger than the company.

    We were lucky enough to spend 2 days with Kristjan, during which we saw just the most beautiful and breathtaking sites. Kristjan is unfailingly kind and deeply knowledgeable about the history of the country as well as its natural wonders. He clearly catered the experience to our interests and we were lucky enough to have once in a lifetime experiences. He also introduced us to lovely eateries for lunch and he has wonderful knowledge of each owner and their history. We could not recommend him highly enough. As an LGBTQ couple we felt safe and accepted throughout.

    I can’t begin to express the wonderful experience we had touring Iceland with Mountain Taxi. It started with Björk's patience answering our questions and finding us an itinerary that fit our needs. We spent 3 days touring with Kristján. It was amazing from the ice caves, waterfalls, and top of the Langjökull glacier. Kristján is not the type of tour guide that sits in the jeep while you explore or eat. He is an enormous wealth of knowledge on Iceland, and pretty much everything. Kristján is out exploring alongside, sharing history, and finding crowberries with you. We had torrential rain one day. Kristján improvised plans to include Friðheimar which usually requires reservations months in advance. It seems everywhere we went that he knew people. Mountain Taxi is a must for exploring Iceland.

    We had the absolute pleasure of a private super jeep tour of the Golden Circle with Kristjan. The tour was full of wonders, made all the more so by the charm, knowledge and wit of our guide. Driving through difficult off road terrain, at times in severe wintry conditions, he kept us safe, entertained and informed throughout the whole day. We would unreservedly recommend Mountain Taxi to anyone seeking a tour from a true local guide.

    We had gotten bogged on the black sand beach while a Mountain Taxi tour group saw the sights. Without hesitation, Kristjan stepped in to save the day. He towed our car and provided incredible help and support. Then, when we tried to give him something for his time, he refused. This kind of generosity shows what sort of business Mountain Taxi is. Although I haven’t experienced the tour, I could not recommend Kristjan more!

Questions about booking Mountain Taxi

Is it cheaper to book Mountain Taxi directly?

No. We sell Mountain Taxi's tours at the price they set, through their own booking system, so the seat costs the same here as on their site. What you get here in addition is one checkout for every tour in your trip, whoever runs it, and one place to turn if plans change.

Does Mountain Taxi pick up from hotels?

13 of their 13 tours include a pickup service. Each tour page says which, and pickup is chosen at checkout.

What is Mountain Taxi's cancellation policy?

Free cancellation up to 0 hours before the start. The exact window is printed on every tour page and in your confirmation, and a refund goes back to the card you paid with.

Where do Mountain Taxi tours start?

Their departures we sell start from Reykjavík, Vik. Check the map on each tour page for the exact meeting point.

Which languages are Mountain Taxi tours guided in?

Their tours are guided in English and German, according to their own product records. Where a tour is audio-guided rather than led by a person, the tour page says so.

How is Mountain Taxi rated?

5.0 out of 5 on Google from 8 reviews of the company. That is the operator's score, not a rating of any one tour; our own guests' reviews of their tours, where we have them, are shown on this page and on the tour pages.
