Private Guide Luxury Travel Iceland

Bespoke journeys across Iceland with your own dedicated PTI guide, private driver and a team in Reykjavík quietly handling every detail behind the scenes.

Fully private journeys · Flexible dates · Designed around you

Maximise your time – every moment counts

With a private PTI guide, travel days become part of the experience rather than time lost between destinations. Your guide fine-tunes each day to the weather, your energy and your interests – whether that means lingering longer at a favourite waterfall, taking an unplanned detour for photographs, or swapping a busy hotspot for a quieter valley nearby.

Exclusive access to hidden gems

Iceland’s great icons – the Golden Circle, south coast and Blue Lagoon – are just the beginning. Your guide introduces you to lesser-known canyons, cliff-top viewpoints and quiet geothermal pools that rarely appear on standard itineraries. Through PTI’s local network you’ll also enjoy insider recommendations for restaurants, artists, designers and makers along the way.

Stress-free travel – we handle everything

From the first enquiry to your final farewell at the airport, our Reykjavík office manages flights, transfers, hotel confirmations, restaurant reservations and time-sensitive activities such as glacier hikes, helicopter flights and super-jeep adventures. Your guide keeps you effortlessly on track, so you can relax into the experience rather than juggling logistics.

A deep dive into Icelandic culture and history

Beyond the landscapes, your guide opens up the stories behind the lava fields and fishing villages. Hear about daily life in Reykjavík, the legacy of sagas and folklore, and how modern Iceland balances sustainability with remote communities and dramatic weather. Along the way you might visit farm-to-table producers, small museums or local artisans whose work rarely features in guidebooks.

Tailored experiences for every interest

Whether you’re travelling as a couple, family or group of friends, each private journey is designed from scratch. A few ways we build around your interests:

  • Adventure-forward days – glacier hiking, snowmobiling, super-jeep highland crossings and winter aurora hunts.
  • Culture & design – studio visits, architecture walks, private gallery time and contemporary dining.
  • Slow travel – longer stays in fewer locations, with spa afternoons, coastal walks and scenic drives.
  • Celebrations & multigenerational trips – villas or lodges taken over privately, chef-hosted dinners and special surprises arranged along the way.

Safety and comfort in every journey

Iceland’s weather can change quickly; having a professional guide at the wheel means you can enjoy the views while someone experienced is reading the conditions. PTI vehicles are selected with comfort and safety in mind, and your guide is in constant contact with our operations team to adjust routes if needed.

The freedom to be spontaneous

With logistics already handled and a flexible outline for each day, there’s space to say “can we stop there?” or “can we stay a bit longer?”. Your guide will suggest options in real time, reshaping the day around the moments that resonate most – from an unexpected rainbow over a waterfall to a cosy café you happen to fall in love with.

Why PTI – the difference of a truly personalised experience

As a family-run DMC based in Reykjavík, we design a limited number of fully private journeys each year. This allows us to stay closely involved in every trip – from the first phone call or email through to daily check-ins while you travel. Our goal is simple: to create an Icelandic journey that feels like it could only have been made for you.
