The tour of the Golden Circle and the Secret Lagoon was marvelous! - After a rough start of being told we were not listed on tour bus at the ship terminal and waiting until I contacted office to be told we were missed being added on the pick up list the day before, the shuttle came back and picked us up, it was a fabulous tour. Raquel was our tour guide and driver and she did a phenomenal job sharing the history of Iceland. The sights we saw were spectacular and lived up to expectations of what Iceland was like. It was very nice to be in a small group tour. That day was truly the highlight of our vacation.

Fantastic tour! - Joanna was a super-enthusiastic guide. Lots of information, both on what we were seeing and on the country in general. Geysers, waterfalls and a swim in the hot spring!

Unforgettable - I had ‘stranded’ in Iceland for 2 days, because I had missed my connection to Belgium, coming from the US. I was alone with two young kids but wanted to take the opportunity to see and feel a bit of Iceland. So I booked this guided daytrip which was perfect. Starri was a great guide. He constantly gave us extra information and funny anecdotes. He adapted the trip a little bit for the kids. We stopped by a farm, watched the new born calves, played and had icecream. I loved his grandma’s 300 years old herbal medicine book! Of course the scenery didn’t disappoint….volconoes, geisers, waterfalls, rivers, never ending astonishing views. A few points I didn’t like: - the tinted windows in the van. I want to see the true colors of the landscape. The window shield was clear but too far away for us. - For the start of the trip, I was waiting at a complete wrong busstop. Frustrating and embarrassing but this was where my gps had sent me. Would be good to give a little map of the correct busstops at booking. - I really wanted to tip the guide. Unfortunately I had NO cash at all on me, only cards. Pitty. Hadn’t thought of it. Maybe remind at the moment of booking that a tip is welcome or have a little paper with bank account number ready in the van, in case people want to tip and have no cash.

A very nice overview of Iceland - It was a very enjoyable tour to see some highlights of Southwest Iceland. Gullfoss Falls is impressive. The Geyser was quiet that day but interesting. The Secret Lagoon was relaxing. Our guide was informative, fun and organized. (sorry I can't remember his name). Being a "small group tour" was better than a big bus.

Amazing trip - Great tour, loved the Secret Lagoon, wished we had been able to go on the bridge between the two tectonic plates.

Perfect Tour of the Golden Circle - A fabulous trip! Joanna had a degree in geology and her passion for this topic really added a whole new level to this tour. The sights were amazing and her sense of humor and desire to keep us safe and fully enjoying the day went above and beyond.

Full day captures the highlights of the Golden Circle with a special treat at the end. - A full day exploring waterfalls and geysers on our way to a secret lagoon. Despite the rain we were able to enjoy a variety of natural wonders along the Golden Circle. Gullfoss was the most amazing and powerful waterfall of the day!
