This is the shortlist to send a friend: 10 audio tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Visit the Hellisheiði Geothermal Exhibition near Reykjavík with a self-guided audio tour, interactive displays, and a Carbfix climate stop.
“Self-guided audio tour. Interactive and bery informative. Can definitely recommend this tour. Both for adults and teens interesting. Children need add some guidance to understand the complexity.”
Walk Reykjavik with offline VoiceMap audio from Hallgrímskirkja to Harpa, Old Harbour, and Parliament, at your own pace.
“This was horrible. I thought it would be a great way to see the sights, but it turned out to be useless. You have to find the first stop on your own--no problem. Then the tour starts and the audio kicks in whenever it senses (via GPS) you reach the next point. Except...you can't see the next point. After stop #2 on the tour, the narrator said to cross the street and walk until you reach the ocean. Easy enough. Until I walked three blocks and was notified that I must be lost. I tried to zoom out on the in-app map to see the route, but the map wouldn't…”
Drive Iceland’s Golden Circle hands-free with GPS-triggered stories and offline maps. Great value for groups of up to four.
“We really enjoyed the driving tour and being able to go at our own pace rather than being trapped on a large excursion. The driving instructions were perfects, the Golden Circle had so many interesting stops and the information shared on the tour was interesting and enjoyable for all. I look forward to doing other tours this way in the future.”
Solve Reykjavik clues on a self-guided 3-hour audio hunt with GPS, local tips, and flexible stops, starting anytime.
“Greats to see important parts of Reykjavik with a little explanation. Not to difficult riddles and a fine distance.”
Self-guided Reykjavik audio walk with offline maps, hands-free stories, and landmark stops like Hallgrimskirkja and Sun Voyager.
“Easy to use app. It was very neat how all you needed to do was walk with it running for the stories to play, or simply go to the "learn more" at a highlighted spot. I also liked that there were transcripts of the audio, and the clear audio directions and map. The stories were interesting, and the narration engaging. It was very informative and added a lot of missing context to my understanding of Reykjavik.”
Self-guided Golden Circle driving audio tour from Reykjavik with GPS autoplay stories, flexible timing, and offline access for your own pace.
“This mobile guide of Iceland’s golden circle gave needed details for our trip. We enjoyed the history and legends that were told in interesting ways.”
Drive Iceland with an app-based audio guide, 340+ GPS-triggered stations across the island, offline use, and car-radio audio for up to 5.
“Super helpful Audio guide providing commentary on sites, topography, and history as we drove the Ring Road.”
Drive Snæfellsnes with offline GPS audio and 80+ stories, stopping at beaches, caves, churches, waterfalls, and lighthouses.
“It was very informative and intuitive. It is GPS enabled so it will pick up exactly where it left off if you cancel out of the app and need to go back in. Make sure to download before you need it!”
Eldheimar Museum in Vestmannaeyjar tells the 1973 Heimaey eruption story with an audio guide, ash-buried home, and cafe views for $28.
Self-guided 2-day audio tour from Reykjavik covering Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon, and Snæfellsnes, with offline maps and hands-free playback.
“Our recent trip to Iceland was unforgettable, and the audio guide truly elevated the experience. Initially, we were unsure about which stops to prioritize and what attractions to see, but the guide provided clear directions and insights, allowing us to plan accordingly. It's highly recommended for anyone looking to make the most of their Icelandic adventure!”
Every kind of Icelandic day out, and the best of each.
