Great tour with a wonderful guide - Our tour guide/driver Rakel is what made this tour amazing and special. She made the entire experience more personal and special. We not only got all the key sites, it we also had a few wonderful stops and side jaunts that were catered to our group. Highly recommended.

Geyser stop in Iceland - My favorite part of the tour was the geyser stop. The power of the geyser was so beautiful and I got some really cool photos.

Iceland Trip - Gummi was such great tour guide! He was so informative and told great stories of the Vikings. He really knows his history of the Vikings and of all the volcanos. We learned a considerable amount of plant regrowth after a volcano.

Excellent Golden Circle tour - Great tour and excellent communication from Viator. The secret lagoon had to close for repairs and they immediately alerted us, allowed for us to make a change or stay and promptly (without being asked) refunded the portion for the lagoon visit. The tour itself was great with Gummi. He had loads of information about the places we were going, as well as Iceland in general. I don't think there was one question he couldn't answer. He pointed out spots along the way in a quiet and easy going manner. He gives a great tour! Mini bus was comfortable and we had plenty of time at each destination. Highly recommend!

Memorable trip - I loved the trip of the Golden Circle, and our guide had so much to tell us about Iceland, everything from folklore to tectonic plate movements. I felt I learnt so much during the trip, and we really enjoyed ourselves. My 13 year old daughter was also very happy, so Rakel managed to talk to all ages and involve everyone. Thank you so much for a memorable day!

Great guide, just OK sites. - Excellent commentary, history and elf stories by Rakel. The bus was comfortable, the PA system good, AC worked well. The stop locations and sites were OK, not outstanding. The Secret Lagoon was underwhelming.
