What a phenomenal experience - We spent 2 days on the Golden Circle and then the South Coast tours with our guide Thomas and what a fantastic 2 days it was! The Mercedes sprinter minibus is perfect for seeing this wonderful country and we were in very small groups ...nearly a private tour! Thomas went above and beyond, giving us a real insight into each and every place we visited. He made it a fantastic experience and he welcomed us back on day 2 like we were old friends! His hospitality was second to none! Thank you Back to Iceland!

Golden Circle with Tómas - A good time. Tómas was very knowledgeable and did the tour “his way,” which ended up being great. I’d recommend this tour to anyone.

Great Tours and Tour Guide - We did 3 small group minibus tours with Back to Iceland--Golden Circle, South Coast, and West Coast. We were on a bus that sat 13, but never had more than 8 passengers on any day, so there was lots of extra space for all of our stuff. The bus was clean and comfortable, and equipped with USB plugs and wifi. Anton was a wonderful driver and guide. He was super thoughtful and brought ponchos for the rain or waterfall mist, as well as crampons for the icy walks. Each day he made sure to make stops for coffee, snacks, and bathroom breaks. He made tasty food recommendations as well. You can't go wrong with Back to Iceland.

Perfect Golden circle tour! - The trip was truly amazing! We were able to cover all the sights mentioned in the itinerary plus an ice cream factory in a cow farm. Antanas was a really helpful guide and careful driver, he told us many interesting stories about Iceland and the places he took us. We really made the most out of our day. Would definitely do another trip with Back to Iceland when we return to Iceland!

Great time - Our tour guide Eric (Sorry can't pronounce his real name) was amazing! Very nice and kept us engaged. Loved hearing about local life and the history of Iceland while driving stop to stop.

Iceland Tours - We took 3 tours with this company: Reykjanes Peninsula Tour, Golden Circle Tour and the South Coast Tour. All of the tour guides were wonderful. They were very knowledgeable, accommodating and timely. Some of the most notable sites were the waterfalls, Puffins and Geysers. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this company to anyone visiting Iceland.

Nice and as we expected. Nothing more, nothing less. - The trip was what we expected. Our tour guide was fun and also entertaining. He was knowledgeable with the area and able to accommodate anything from the patrons. We happen to go on a day where there were many tourists from the cruise ships and we were prepared for that at the places we went. Very busy and crowded which something we couldn't control as these places were the normal "gotta see" places of Iceland. We were given ample time at each spots and didn't feel rushed. If you wish to spend more than an hour at these places, I suggest doing so with your own rental car. There were other patrons so there should be an expectation that the whole group needs to be accommodating to the whole situation so just remember on these tours, its not JUST YOU. You have to give and take all the time. We were also lucky to have nice blue sky weather for pictures.

We came home “infected” with “Back to Iceland” disease! - We took 3 tours with BTI and all were incredible. We saw a tomato greenhouse operation, ate tomatoe soup, ate ice cream with cows, walked up to and behind magnificent waterfalls, stopped to take pictures of sheep, walked on black sand beaches, and posed to take pictures with an excellent photographer, Tomas. Antonus was also an excellent guide for a few of our trips. We took the Reykjavik and the Circle tour and then the South coast. And the PUFFINS! Oh my! Nothing but astounding experiences. There aren’t enough stars to give this wonderful tour company. You’ll leave infected with BTI disease as Antonus promises, because you’ll know you have to go back to Iceland! I highly recommend this company. T JJ et we’re an add-on to a cruise and could have been the entire trip for all they showed us. I left knowing and loving so much about the Icelandic people, language, history, culture and landscape.

Don’t be the last 4 to board for this tour. - The stops along the tour route we’re nice and the driver was ok. The viewing windows were small. I sat in the back with minimal views while riding from stop to stop. It was advertised that Wi-Fi would be available; it wasn’t.
