Tips for Choosing the Best Caving Tour Company in Reykjavik, Iceland 
If you are thinking about traveling to Reykjavik, Iceland but are unsure what tour company will work best for your specific wants and needs, here are some simple tips to help you choose the best caving tour company:
 
1. Consider Group Sizes 
One of the most important decisions that you will have to make when it comes to choosing a caving tour company in Iceland is the size of the group you are looking to tour with. While large group tours often work well for sightseeing, consider hiring a tour company that offers small group tours for caving experiences. Small group tours will not only give you a more personalized experience but also more time to explore without being rushed along the way.
 
2. Consider Value Over Price 
While most people often try to hire an Icelandic caving tour company on the cheaper side, prices can often be misleading. In a lot of cases, companies that send people on big tours of 30-40 travellers at a time can secure bulk rates for rooms and activities, which means that they are able to offer cheaper rates; however, choosing a cheap rate can also increase the chance that the tour will not be as good as you are hoping for. Consider taking the time to consider the value of a tour not just its price. Finding out what the caving tour has to offer will let you know if you are getting the most bang for your buck. 
 
3. Look for Local Leaders 
Taking a tour with a local leader can be a great way to immerse yourself in the local culture and experience Reykjavik, Iceland in a way that enriches your travel. Since local leaders are born and raised in Iceland, they will know the area like the back of their hand and can offer cool local knowledge that you would not learn travelling on your own. 
 
4. Check Their Safety Record 
When choosing a caving tour company in Reykjavik, Iceland, it is always important to ensure that the company follows all proper safety requirements. This will help ensure that, in the event something goes wrong, your tour guide will be able to properly handle the situation and guide you to safety.
