Not what you’d think.
Alistair_B, Feb 2023
Driver reckless with the weather conditions, yes we didn’t crash but tbf not the safest journey. It was torrential rain and wind was hard enough to stand up, other people fell over by the wind. Tour should have been cancelled or postponed.
Breathtaking views await
Richard_C, Feb 2023
Great to go in a small group and the minibus was really comfy with nice leather seats. Our driver and your guide was fantastic. He knew so much about the places we visited and entertained us with mythical stories along the way.
Wasn't as good as I expected but would still recommend.
Michael_H, Jan 2023
We had an amazing kind and helpful tour guide although the experience could have been better. I feel as though we didn't have enough stop off time at Þingvellir National Park. Geysir was better with the timing however Gullfoss waterfall was difficult to see with the amount of people around and with the heavy snow you could'nt really see the whole thing.
Research your tour leader

The sights were amazing. The driver did not give us much if any information about what we were visiting.
Great Experience
Hayley_J, Nov 2022

Great customer...
Beata_G, Nov 2022
Great customer service!!!!!! The tour guide was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour.
Beautiful Sites, Easy Ride
Jennifer_R, Oct 2022
Beautiful scenery, easy drive to see more of the landscapes. Tour operator was friendly and van was clean. Afternoon start really helps for those piling on the tours! Only issue found with most tours was the due to the distance to get to areas, time spent at the actual sites seemed so short and rushed. Some areas were only given a 15-20 minute stop (competing with bathroom lines and grabbing pictures). Overall a lovely experience.
Enjoyable after.

Fantastic afternoon, with really bad weather this was just what we needed to literally blow the cobwebs away. Our driver was very experienced and made us feel very comfortable with the high winds and his story’s were very good too.. unfortunately a lady went a little too far and some of the others on the bus went out on a such and eventually she returned.. but the driver was very helpful and kept the hole bus calm. Recommend if not wanting a full day

Biggi was an excellent guide. 6 hours was a perfect amount of time. The van was nice and the small group was good
Disappointing
Seamus_P, Sep 2022
Sites were fabulous. Guide/driver indulged himself in ill informed monologues rather than giving information about the sites.
A nice way to see the golden circle
Denise_P, Sep 2022
I was not happy that my husband and I could not sit together, when a solo guest was sitting in a double seat with his backpack beside him. It rained the whole time, so rain pants were essential. The tour guide was fine, informative, and a good driver.
Well worth the time and trip
Linda_V, Aug 2022
Memorable was what we learned... Nick was a great guide... lots of info and humor. Learning about the tectonic plates was very informative.... Gullfoss, spectacular. It's was just a lovely day.
Late pickup at 12:30...
Sean_S, Aug 2022
Late pickup at 12:30 after waiting in rain for half hour. missed a person on pick up and had to go back. Left a person at stop and returned late. Time is money
More intimate
Richard_B, Aug 2022
We liked the afternoon shortened version of the golden circle, especially because it was in a van instead of a bus, so it was more intimate. The driver gave us a huge amount of information.
Haft day tour but gets a lot in.
Doug_G, Aug 2022
Just had a half day to see Reykjavik and the surrounding area. Would recommend this tour if you have limited time. Nick was a great tour guide. He was easy to understand, projected well and was knowledgeable.
Iceland beautiful guide boring
ivi_s, Aug 2022

We LOVED seeing the...
Betsy_B, Jul 2022
We LOVED seeing the national park, geysers and Gullfoss waterfall. Our favorite was the beautiful Gulfoss. We could have stayed there much longer.
Big Bang in a short time
Debra_P, Jul 2022
I think the magnitude and beauty of the falls was my favorite. We chose the short excursion that left at noon. It was perfect!
Great way to see the highlights under tight time constraints
John_O, Jun 2022
Driver was friendly and helpful. The bus was clean, comfortable, and appeared very new. The golden waterfall was simply magnificent. Understand with only four hours total we had to limit the stop to 30 minutes, but will be coming back to spend more time there!
