Heaven made in Iceland - Too beautiful for words. Despite the weather I loved the whole experience. The waterfalls were breathtaking and the sky lagoon was heaven. Definitely coming here again. 4 days is not enough

Helgi & Darren made the trip!! - We started the day with a pick up from outside our accommodation, it was on time and vocal upon arriving so we knew what bus to take. We arrived at the bus station to move across to another bus which was no issue. Here we met Helgi & Darren, they were both very happy to be there, happy to help and full of beans, even on the cold dark morning. Helgi was an amazing bus driver with absolutely no issues at all during the day he was also very happy to give us extra facts that Darren wasn’t aware of. Darren was a fountain of knowledge he knew so much about the locations we visited & Iceland itself. We sat at the front of the bus which potentially made the experience that much better, which meant we could have a conversation & laugh with both Darren & Helgi. After the golden circle tour was over we headed back to the bus station to pick up another bus to the Sky lagoon. This was a quick transfer over to the lagoon. It was beautiful and the 7 step ritual was amazing. The only down side to this is we only had 2 hours at the lagoon and I believe we could have spent longer here. With getting ready, then showered and back out it felt like we only got an hour in the lagoon itself. I would definitely come back and go on this tour again, especially if they are our tour guides!!

Tour Operator saved the day. - There was a mix up with the pick up location on the day we booked, consequently we missed the bus. I contacted the tour operator, Reykjavik Sightseeing, and they could not be more helpful. They ensured we were able to participate with the full itinerary and experience the complete tour, which was absolutely incredible. The Geysir’s were amazing, Gullfoss waterfall absolutely stunning, and the sky lagoon was fantastic, even better that we had views of the erupting volcano!! Our tour guide, Michael was very informative and knowledgeable about Iceland which made the transfers between landmarks fun and educational.

Great experience! - Darren and driver Paulo made an awesome trip even better. Darren as a tour guide was extreemly knowlegable and entertaining - he probably talked for 4-5 hours and it was never boring. Paulo was one of the best bus drivers I have seen. He threaded that bus though narrow bridges and busy parking lots like a pro!

Amazing time! - Tour was amazing! Iceland is surreal and everyone should go at least once. Unexpected treat was the sheep at the pretend craters. So moving watching the lambs bleating for their mom and her crossing the ravine to get to them! Luckily, we planned to go to Sky Lagoon as our tour guide told us Blue Lagoon was being evacuated as the volcano started erupting again!

100% recommend this tour! - We both had an amazing tour. Darren and Helgi were both fantastic. It's rare to find a tour guide who has a great sense of humor as well as local knowledge but our tour guide Darren had them both and made the trip a memorable one. The tour itself took in some amazing sights, the Gullfoss waterfall being my favourite.

Great whistle stop tour - Great tour, I was a bit worried about all the connections and transfers but it was mostly smooth. It is a quick whizz round the sights on the golden circle but we didn’t feel rushed at all. The Sky Lagoon was fantastic - can’t recommend it enough! Darren was a great guide and hit the balance of guiding us while still giving freedom to explore. The only thing I would say that could be improved is communication in advance of the tour, we weren’t sure what time our hotel pick up was and weren’t actually on the list for pick up when the bus did come. Also we nearly missed our sky lagoon connection because we were waiting inside the bus station and didn’t hear the tour being called.

Very disappointing - The bus schedule was complicated and wasn't efficient. The tour started late and we got shortchanged on time spent at sites. Definitely needed more time at the National Park. Then at the end of the Golden Circle tours, we had to sit around for almost an hour waiting for the transportation to Sky Lagoon (which was a great experience no thanks to the tour company). Our guide Kristina was not always easy to understand and didn't give much information about what to see at the National Park in such a short time that we had there. She had no personality at all and seemed like she didn't like what she was doing.

Bad experience due ti weather - Bad weather, cold rain causing severe icy conditions and dangerous roads. Also this was not the tour we booked. Ours was cancelled due to weather and we were moved to a different tour time and itinerary without the lagoon
