Iceland, snow smiles and snow - Michele guides her for excellence, patience, sympathy, understanding and super helpfulness.
On this organized tour, with small children within the group, Michele has always been kind and helpful taking care of every detail.
He showed us the love he puts into his work by transmitting to us the passion and feeling Iceland left him.
Each explanation inside his van, between snowy and icy roads, tell with precision and dedication the beauties, culture and often wild and uncontaminated nature of this magnificent land.
Thank you Michele for turning a trip into a dream, Thank you Elysia Tours.

Iceland dream - We recently returned from this wonderful island...Iceland...we were a group and contacted Michele to give us the tour of the Golden Circle, and the walk x Reykjavik. He rented a van all for us and accompanied us for the 5 days we stayed in Reykjavik. Michele was a great guide, while driving very carefully, because of the snowy or icy roads, he explained every single thing we encountered along the way.
He brought us a more "secret" places that are really breathtaking .. thank you again Michele for the fantastic tour he organized us... nice, prepared and above all he transmitted his love for Iceland ❤️

Between nature and history, competence and sympathy. - Fantastic experience, bordering on fairytale. The landscapes and places seen are unique, suggestive and breathtaking. The icing on the cake were the competence and kindness of the guides, Michele and Ilaria, who accompanied us with the right historical and environmental notions but also with sympathy and carefree. If we (hopefully) return to Iceland, we will definitely rely on their agency. We highly recommend!

Just perfect! - Beautiful day, despite the decidedly uncertain weather, spent together with Michele who was able to transmit his passion and expertise on a new territory for us, making us discover not only the classic places of the Golden Circle but also places a little less "massive", such as the small geothermal spring in which we could also swim. Experience definitely to be repeated in winter, obviously always relying on Michele!

Elysia Tour, the best solution! - My opinion does not only concern this excursion but all those I have done with Elysia Tours. I was really happy and satisfied to have met Michele, a trained guide who is enthusiastic about his work. He took me and my family around Iceland, a fascinating and overwhelming country. Michele was a perfect organizer, an excellent guide, a valuable consultant for local food and an attentive and expert driver. When I return to Iceland - because I will return! - I will rely on Elysia Tours again because Michele and his organization made my trip unforgettable. Super recommended!

The real Iceland with Elysia Tours - Elysia Tour was a sensational surprise! Michele - the owner - was not just a guide but a true travel companion. Always present but never intrusive, a source of precious advice that made us live a true Icelandic experience. The places visited were truly breathtaking but Michele managed to enrich every minute and every smallest stop, even the seemingly most banal ones. We will definitely contact him again on our next trip to Iceland, because we will definitely be back!!!

Reliable and friendly - Ilaria and Michele are professional and competent guides, but above all friendly! Traveling to Iceland with them was like traveling with expert and always available friends. They accompanied us in everything, from choosing itineraries to restaurant recommendations, to the soundtrack of our on the road, to tips on our free time. Full of energy, they never tired of talking, answering our questions and chatting as if we had been friends forever. It was truly a pleasant and relaxed travel, which helped make Iceland even more beautiful!
