One of the best trips out there! - The day started as it began with a smile on our faces. This is what our tourguide Jon told us at the beginning and he kept true. He was extremely warm and spoke with us a lot throughout the trip, giving amazing details about both the sights on the tour but also the areas we drove by and Iceland in general. I haven't seen a guide more dedicated than him. He also made an extra stop for us to pet the Icelandic horses after we showed interest in them and gave us horse candy to feed them. The natural wonders of the Golden Circle really can't be put into words but it was an incredible experience, topped with the snorkeling in Silfa where our snorkeling instructor Veronica helped ease our anxiety for our first adventure of this kind. She made a lot of jokes and gave us all the information to feel safe and confident and the moment we stepped into the water and saw what was waiting beneath if felt absolutely magical. The hot chocolate was also felt tasty and felt like a nice reward. I recommend this trip to anyone who wants to get more in touch with Iceland's spirit.

A snorkeling adventure you don't want to miss! - A scenic and mesmerizing tour. Our highlight was the snorkeling bit of it. Abby made us absolutely comfortable and despite there being 5 of us she was able to pay attention to all of us making us feel safe. The view underwater of the rift cannot be put into words! Breathtaking.

Great first day Intro to Iceland tour - Even though I was tired from a late arrival into Iceland the night before this trip was perfect. Lots of stunning stops, great timing & spots to pick up snacks/drinks if required. Commentary from Svein Bjorn was great. He had a great rapport with the group and equally humorous and informative. I’ve done some day tours that are too long & exhausting but this was a great day. The small group size was also ideal.

Truly amazing - Our guide, John was very informative and friendly. We enjoyed the drive around the golden circle seeing the vast landscape of the country. The golden falls were amazing as was the geyser. Our trip culminated with walking around Silfra, being able to see where the first Viking settlement held their parliament and a wonderful snorkeling experience at Silfra.

snorkeling was equally great despite bad weather - The weather was not the best for the Golden Circle tour and felt a bit rush. Our guide H was not the most engaging, but he kept the schedule on time. Our snorkelling instructor Emilio spoke relatively fast but was very friendly and will always repeat upon request. The equipments were well cared for. It wasn't uncomfortable at all. I wish there was a better explanation of the different segments of the fissure, translating from the map to the physical location. Because I felt it ended sooner than I thought it would. Emilio also took great underwater photos! Very satisfied.

Fantastic Iceland snorkeling!! - What an amazing day we spent upon our arrival in Iceland. The Golden Circle attractions did not disappoint. The beauty of Iceland is very prevalent, even though it was raining on and off most of that day. We were very fortunate that the rain cleared for the snorkeling adventure! This was a bucket list item for us, and we really enjoyed the experience with Vicky and our small group of fellow snorkelers. The clarity of the water between the plates was incredible. We did not feel rushed. We did not get cold. Our equipment was in good shape. All in all it was a fantastic day!
