Björn's Enriching Drive to the Golden Circle - Björn's engaging commentary transformed our journey from Reykjavik to the Golden Circle into an immersive cultural experience.
Throughout the drive, he captivated us with tales of Iceland's rich history, Icelandic naming conventions, the ingenious ways locals harness geothermal energy for everyday life, etc…
It's an experience you won't find on any standard tour, and we're incredibly grateful for Björn's insightful guidance and the unforgettable memories he helped create.

Fantastic Tour! - I am so glad that we decided to go with this tour instead of doing it ourselves (which we had considered since we had a rental car).
It was one of the best tours I have been on. The sights are spectacular, even on a rainy, foggy day (but I recommend taking rain gear). Also, our tour guide - Bjorn - was fantastic. He has tremendous knowledge of Iceland and shared so many interesting sights and anecdotes. At the same time, it was not at all overdone. The perfect mix of commentary, local music, and stops.
The snorkeling was also amazing.

Loved the Snorkeling! - Absolutely worth the money and a blast. I have a particular interest in geology, so we chose the four-stop geological wonders with snorkeling tour. The snorkeling was fun and not nearly as cold as I thought it would be. It was really cool to be able to see both plates and the new rift opened up in the last 10 years or so.

Highly recommended if you only have a few days to spend in Reykjavik - Excellent tour- it was the perfect balance of sightseeing and once in a lifetime activity, all in a day. Our tour guide Karina was super informative, and Marcello, our snorkeling guide, was incredibly thorough and had great buoyant (no pun intended) energy to put all of us at ease throughout the whole 30-40m swim. Highly recommended.

Memories - What an amazing trip. The bus picked us up from the hotel and away we went on wonderful adventure, with sights, food, and snorkeling. Our Guide for snorkeling, Daniel, did a wonderful job taking care of us and checking in along the way. He took the perfect photos that will always remind me of this fun trip with my son.

Unbelievably beautiful - The silfra snorkelling attraction has been a long bucketlist of mine since I read about it many years ago. Firstly, we went to visit the Geysirs (the most prominent one would be the Strokkur geysir) [I recommend watching the video the slow-mo guys made at this geysir on youtube].
The main attraction of course is the silfra fissure where you are snorkelling in "No man's land" (The middle of the Eurasian and the North American tectonic plates).
The gear to suit up before getting into the water was plentiful but the guides especially Marcello were especially helpful and made the suit up fun and pleasant.
We were briefed of the snorkelling path and performed 2 simple warm-up exercises to gain better control in the water which is excellent.

Breathtaking experience - Our tour guide was breathtaking. He was truly knowledgeable about the area and not only brought us to major places but also a few extras along the way that were super interesting. He also had great sense of humor! He truly went the extra mile and will be using aviator again because of this experience
