We stopped in Reykjavik for one day on a cruise. We had made prior arrangements for a private tour instead of a ship shore excursion. Contact www.icelandictaxitours.com to book. Our driver was Olafur A. Lange and he was excellent. He was right there when we got off the ship. Immediately, he handed us a picture graph of the day before's earthquakes! There had been twelve of them but just a 1 or 2 class. Talk about introductions!
Then we were off in a van that provided very comfortable seating for the 4 of us. It could have held 8 people. He took us to the geothermal area known as Krysuvik where we saw the remnants of volcanic activity, bubbling pots of volcanic mud, and steam fissures coming up from the ground. We hardly passed a car going there or coming back. Then we went by a fishing pier and the neighborhood surrounding it. This gave you some idea of how people live there. Then on to the Blue Lagoon. We had plenty of time there although we did not go in. When the tour busses got there, it was packed. We went on the the "Leif the Lucky Bridge" which spans the tectonic plates of the earth. After the Reykjanes Lighthouse, we went to the Viking Ship Museum to see a replica of a Viking ship which was dug up in Norway in 1882 , almost completely intact. After the tour, he dropped us at a famous hot dog stand (Iceland is known for its hot dogs-who would have thunk it?), where we had a late lunch. The whole tour came to $242 US (in August 2009 rate). After lunch, we walked around the town which was holding one of the two big parades that they have every year. In all, an extremely enjoyable day and we all wished we had more time there. Oh well, it's not far from the East Coast!

We used the services of Icelandic Taxi Tours in September, 2009, and were extremely pleased! There were 6 of us, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our day with Ole. He was courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. We would definitely use Icelandic Taxi Tours again if we have the opportunity.
