Great experience. Scenary... - Great experience. Scenary was beautiful (though the crater is a bit underwhelming in winter). Otherwise well organized, extremely friendly and knowledgeable guide, highly recommend.

Excellent, informative tour! - We had a fantastic tour with Anastasia! It was incredibly informative and interesting. It covered a nice variety of sites in the area, with plenty of stops. We saw some stunning views across the national park, spouting geysers and the powerful Gullfoss waterfall! I'd highly recommend this tour

Excellent day trip - Visiting the crater and geysir. The information that was provided by guide/driver Martin was very informative and much appreciated. The stop to see the horses was a nice extra.

A fun day with Anastasia at the Golden Circle - It was really an amazing experience to go across the golden circle with Your Day Tours. Our captain for the day Anastasia was very informative and we loved the fun and banter we had on the way with her. I appreciate her knowledge. Loved the experience with Your Day tours.

A great tour - We had a fantastic time on our tour. Anastasia was a most informative and helpful guide. She had lots of insight and stories about just about everything we saw, and was able to keep us entertained at the same time. Highly recommended!

Beautiful and relaxing tour. - This tour is a great way to see the Golden Circle in Iceland. Small groups with a knowledgeable driver guide. Sit back and enjoy the ride and the beautiful sites. No worries about directions, road signs or getting lost. Anastasia is an excellent driver and very excellent guide. I highly recommend this tour.

Amazing tour, good value - Visiting the crater was amazing as was the waterfall. The driver /Guide Martin was very knowledgeable professional and friendly and gave us plenty of time to see sites/bathroom breaks etc. We found this tour to be a great way of seeing the natural wonders of Iceland. We were kept up dated regularly with regards to pickup/drop off . Great value for money.The tour and the company would be highly recommended by me. Thank you Viator😍

An Iceland Must! - The tour bus and driver showed up on time right in front of our hotel. The driver was an amazing guide and made us feel safe in the snowy weather. He was patient and informative and friendly. We saw and hiked a crater, waterfalls, and a geyser plus more! I think his name was 'Carrlton' (sorry). But I definitely recommend. Thank you for a great adventure, Icelandic day!

Fantastic Sites - But Small Group Tour Itself Disappointing - Firstly, we enjoyed the sites we visited - the Kerid Crater, Gullfoss Waterfall, the Geysir and the Thingvellir National Park. Although the visiting times were naturally limited due to the nature of the tour, this was a must do activity for our short stay in Reykjavik. We chose this small group tour on 28 November (myself and wife) rather than a larger coach tour because we thought we would receive a better overall and more personal experience from the tour company guide. Whilst the driver (Siggy) was pleasant and spoke to the group on the bus about some Icelandic history etc, unfortunately there was no real 'guide' element to our tour. The driver did not leave the bus (as far as we know) and there was no walking with us to the sites or any suggested routes / tips about how best to use our limited time at the sites. For example - at the Kerid Crater it may have been been helpful to tell us whether we could realistically walk around the Crater top and visit the Crater bottom in the time allocated. There was also no real personal engagement with us - e.g. we were never asked if we enjoyed any site visit or received any 'goodbye, thanks for choosing us' etc. We feel that the larger bus tour offered by other companies would have been just as good and so regret paying extra for this small group tour. Also, at the start of the day, the driver (who picked us up after 8.30am) said we would be arriving back around 5 / 5.30pm. We actually got back to our hotel at 3.15pm! We could therefore have spent a little longer at the sites. The tour itinerary on the company's website promises "We’ll spend the entire day traveling through the famous Golden Circle attractions, and we’ll even make some extra stops to show you the hidden gems!" and "We’ll travel in a comfortable bus ....... while listening to Icelandic music and enjoying some sweet treats". Contrary to the above, (1) we had a cold bus which the driver acknowledged but could not improve upon, (2) there were no 'extra stops' showing us 'hidden gems', (3) there was no Icelandic music; (4) there were no 'sweet treats' given out; (5) the tour was a lot shorter than expected - arriving back at 3.15pm and (6) there was no real guide element to the tour. In view of the above issues we do feel that a partial refund should be offered to compensate us for these disappointments / breach of promises. In summary - we give 5 stars for the wonderful sites we visited but 2 stars for the disappointing / undelivered special small tour experience - hence 3 stars in total as an average.
