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!

Three slightly older friends discovering Iceland - Exciting experience with Michele from elysia tours, very professional, friendly, empathetic, even in a situation that could have been a bit dangerous like the snow storm we encountered, he proved to be very competent and brought us back to Reykjavik in absolute safety and tranquility, then the sight of the Northern Lights compensated for the meteorologically uncertain day. Thanks Michele, our Icelandic adventure was even more beautiful, thanks to you. See you in the summer for another adventure.
