Superb tour with phenomenal tour guide Martin.
tricia_f, Apr 2024
Our tour guide Martin ( he’s Danish and relocated to Iceland) was SUPERB! His knowledge made every sight come to life… we were given information prior to arriving and along at the ride. I snd my 12 year old daughter felt like geologists at the end of the tour. I learnt so much about the different kinds of volcanoes and so much more. I absolutely loved this tour and Martin made the tour exceptional with his knowledge.

Amazing tour. Mitch was a great guide with lots of interesting info. We took our two girls and they loved it!! Definitely recommend.
Get the most for 24 hour layover
Daniel_M, Apr 2024
Good trip overall! You get a good amount of time at each stop and overall a good way to see many sights in a short period of time. Guide was fun and had a nice balance in sharing info and letting you take in the sights.
Excellent afternoon trip
SeeHai_T, Apr 2024
Martin is friendly and informative. He has given bonus stops which are not included in the itinerary. I would recommend this trip to anyone who only has half day to explore Iceland’s natural wonders.
Fantastic half day tour
Chris_B, Mar 2024
This was a great half-day tour with an experienced guide. Perfect amount of stops for the afternoon and great local information from a native to Iceland.
Only go in the summer
Laura_G, Nov 2023
The driver and guide were good and the sites are very interesting. However, the 7 hours was too long for a noon departure. We saw nothing for the last few hours as we we in the dark. I’m sure this is a great tour in the summer, but it should be modified for fall and winter. The 75 minute stop at The geyser was way too long for anyone other than extreme shoppers. As the tour starts at noon, we didn’t realize this was a lunch stop, so we ate first. Our bad. Would have preferred shorter stops and an earlier return.
The sights took our breath away!
Joan_H, Nov 2023
The stops were all well thought out, the scenery and natural wonders were breathtaking. Martin, our tour guide, was excellent! Very informative, witty, spoke of not only historical significance, back story and facts but what was also happening currently in those locations. He was the best!
Golden Circle not so Golden
MarkE, Nov 2023
Way too much time in the mini bus for way too little to see. Also, the tour guide could certainly have occasionally given us information about Iceland along the way.
Company and guide were great.
kARIN_B, Sep 2023
We were late for tour start, and they went out of their way to find us . Guide was very informative.
Absolutely brilliant
morenike_b, Sep 2023

Beautiful Iceland
Mary_F, Sep 2023
Lovely knowledgeable tour guide. Shared the history and culture of Iceland. The trip covered the highlights of Reykjavik.
Fantastic
Victoria_G, Aug 2023
Our guide/driver Halmar was excellent. We loved his knowledge of all sites and about Iceland Would recommend this tour to anyone
Missed your due to not being picked up
Jill_L, Aug 2023
We missed the tour because they never picked us up at hotel. Said they were there but we were right by the door at pick up time waiting for 1/2 hour.
Whistle stop tour of golden circle
Kate_D, Aug 2023
We had a lovey guide, Lily, who was very approachable and knowledgable. We really appreciated her. This is a bit of a whistle stop tour with around 30-45 mins at each location. This was enough to appreciate the amazing scenery and get some great pictures but if you want to spend longer at each site you might want to consider a day tour (if there is one) or driving yourself.
Excellent guide
Raymond_W, Jul 2023
Our guide: his personal experiences and insights helped us understand Icelandic culture. He also related well with his guests.
great
Matthew_C, Jul 2023
The tour operator was the best I ever had. She was so good!!!!! She sang us a song, everyone on the bus loved it.
Great experience
Kim_K, Jul 2023
From start to finish it was great. The pickup bus was on time, Tate greeted us with a warm welcome and a smile. He is very knowledgeable about the areas, great sense of humor, great driver. Tate made this tour fantastic!!!
Half-day to see the golden circle
Amy_C, Jul 2023
The 3 stops were excellent and so beautiful! Make sure to stand back from the geysir- we got soaked from standing too close. All 3 stops were very crowded. We brought packed sandwiches and they were a lifesaver as the lines at the restaurants and gift shops were very long. The weather was perfect - sunny and cool. This tour is a cheap(er) way to see some of the main highlights of the golden circle. The bus was a bit hot but there are big windows that make the viewing along the route very scenic. We would do this again.
Outstanding scenery
Mike_N, Jul 2023
A good value tour which probably was reflected in a minibus that was a bit cramped for space. Driver was friendly and even extended tour to take us through centre of Reykjavík. The driver was not a qualified tour guide though which would have added value to the trip . Information provided was ‘best efforts’ and very amiably delivered. All sites visited were fantastic and thoroughly enjoyed. It was topped by our tour from Akureyri largely due to the guide but it was ‘double’ the cost. I guess my advice would be to make sure you have a properly guided tour and avoid low cost imitations!
Countryside drive
Linda_J, Jul 2023
Our 4 hour tour drove through the peaceful countryside of Iceland visiting a waterfall, a geyser and tectonic plates. The van driver stopped at a local farm so everyone could buy homemade ice cream. Yummy!
