Darren and Gregor - Darren and Gregor were my tour guides for this excursion and I can definitely say they did a great job sharing information during the tour about about Iceland. I enjoyed the stops and the provided recommendations. It was a great experience and I would recommend Darren and Gregor for this excursion. Thanks!

Beautiful scenery, lots of tourists but worth it - Crowded with tourists but the weather was amazing! Our group was the only 5 people that went to Fontana baths so we had the place almost to ourselves which was incredible! The lake was amazing! Geothermal area and waterfall were pretty but over crowded. The 2nd bus that picked us up was a nice bus with working accessories and only 1/4 full so that made the rest of the day worth it. Super nice guides as always.

Great tour and a great break! - We really enjoyed the tour, and having a break in the middle to chill out (warm out?!) was great. Both tour guides we had were knowledgeable and friendly, though we really loved Stephan. The stops all delivered on the beauty of Iceland!

Good tour - Booked this last minute since blue lagoon was closed due to volcano activity. But it was a good alternative. Still got to see the sites of golden circle. Guides were very informative. The Fontana baths were nice and relaxing and more than likely way less crowded than blue lagoon would have been. Only thing, I wish it was the last thing we did because it’s hard to keep touring after getting so relaxed. I started with one bus group, was dropped off to do the baths for a couple hours then picked up by a different group to continue the tour. The transfers and swaps were all on time and coordinated well just would’ve been nice to end with the baths.

Laugarvatn Fontana - Because I chose the Laugarvatn Fontana tour I experienced 2 buses and guides. They were both very knowledgeable about Iceland's history and geological importance. The guides were very accommodating. Unfortunately the return of the tour was delayed by about 2 hours when our bus was required to make extra stops to pick up people. It was a very long day.

Don't go with Gray Line - Bad start! GRAY LINE IS RUBBISH! Time change, NO Fontana pool! Bus didn't come. Time change again. Still NO pool! Golden Circle part was nice.

Awful grey line experience (Fontana was good) - Sadly this trip was probably the worst tour I’ve ever taken. From the morning with the driver who picked us up was miserable, not welcoming at all. We then had to switch from a minibus to a coach which is not unusual and not a problem. However next we did a small part of the tour and then had to go to Fontana spa which we expected to do on way home not at start of day, so we were the only ones disembarking the coach and no warning. Wasn’t told if we needed to get lunch at the spa or wait for next stop to the Geysirs . On way back it was even worse as we were two hours later back than expected, as grey lines had agreed to merge another tour with ours and join our coach so we had to sit for 90 min waiting, no refreshments provided or toilets available, we’d risen sensible toilet breaks and refreshments based on expected time to return. No tour company ever should force other paying customers to sit and wait for another tour group to join, my youngest nephew was forced to wait for the toilet for over 3hrs and was in agony by the time we got back to the city. He almost wet himself which would’ve been humiliating and lot of his making!!! I was disgusted by lack of compassion or thought for passengers, the other group only needed to join ours due to a broken down vehicle. Tour company could’ve sent a replacement vehicle to them and let us maintain our original schedule. We also missed our dinner reservation as we had another tours booked at 9pm, so we missed out on another experience in Iceland due to the tour operator. Fontana spa was a nice refreshing spa without hustle and bustle of somewhere like blue lagoon which is too busy and commercial. Fontana was clean, easy to use and relaxing.

Don’t take this bus ttip - The trip was awful. Short stops. Little restaurant for lunch was crowded. The guide was okay but not much information. Not good for travelers looking for a good experience.
