A single day tour keeps things simple: one pickup, one guide and a route planned to avoid long unbroken stretches of driving.
The Golden Circle is a common choice for families, since it combines a waterfall, a geothermal area and a national park in a single day without much walking.
Pack for the weather rather than the season on the calendar; even a summer day can turn cold and wet, and children feel this more than adults do.
If you are combining a day tour with other activities during your stay, space them out rather than booking back-to-back days, since young children tire more quickly than adults on the road.
Sightseeing routes with short walks, such as the Golden Circle, generally work better than long hiking or glacier-based tours.
Most run for most of a day once pickup and driving time are included, so plan for a full day rather than a half day.
Usually not on standard day tours, so bring snacks and check whether there are lunch stops along the route.
Yes, every passenger including children needs a booked seat, so include them when booking.
Sit near the front where possible and bring any medication you normally use, since some routes involve winding roads.
