Classic - The name of the tour says it all - classic golden circle. The tour was very well organised and our tour guide kept us all informed with lots of information throughout and excellent timekeeping. Despite very wintry conditions, the tour went to plan and each destination was breathtaking and a must see when visiting Iceland. The tour was very good value for money and we were collected and dropped off at our hotel, all on time. I would definitely recommend the company.

Amazing Tour, Even Better Guides - The most perfect day tour for anyone and everyone! Our guides were Darren and Gregor and both were phenomenal. Darren is the funnest guy with the best jokes and stories. I really felt like his commentary made the experience even better. He is super knowledgeable and informative. And Gregor is obviously the best driver in all of Iceland. Highly recommended.

Wonderful way to experience Iceland - This was my third trip to Iceland. On this trip, I was with first-time visitors since I was doing my second Golden Circle tour. It was as enjoyable as before since my prior trip had been during the winter which is a totally different experience. There was ample time along the way at each stop on the Golden Circle. We had enough time at the geyser to enjoy lunch in the restaurant. The guide was informative. I highly recommend Reykjavik Sightseeing.

Wonderful Golden Circle - The escursion was very interesting, we saw many attractive places and could get good explanations from our audioguide. The starting time in winter could probably be delayed half ah hour, it would give a better view of Thingvellir.

Worthwhile bucket list trip - Bucket list of things to do in Iceland. Stunning scenery!! Very cold and slippery tho, so dress appropriately. Only down side was leaving last site at 3:15, we didn’t get back till 6:15.

Unique 250km journey - Witness unique natural geology and landscapes like no other. A 250 kilometre (+/-) tour over seven hours with fun coach mates.

They canceled the tour... - They canceled the tour due to weather, however never process the refund. Many of my other bookings on Viator in Iceland were canceled due to weather. Other operators were prompt in issuing the refund other than this one.

Poor handling and no realization that white is not green... - We had been instructed by the provider to look for a green bus, were at the right meeting place and at the right time. Staff at the car park have also confirmed to us that the green buses are welcoming travellers here. After 15 minutes no bus came, I tried to call the service number and got no answer. Only after 10 minutes did I reach a person who told us that a white bus had been deployed today and that it had already left. This info came even though we were still within the mentioned corridor for pickup between 9:30 and 10am. The day before I had email contact with the provider and no information that suddenly a white bus is coming. One must bear in mind that 90% of buses in Iceland are white and a few are blue or supposedly green... Later at the tourist office we got the information that many travelers had already had exactly the same experiences. Despite the request of the tourist office to the provider, the doubtful settlement has not yet been adjusted... By phone we were promised a refund of the costs, but then again afterwards was not true. So think carefully if you want to book something like this and then best rattle off each of the many buses, if green is now suddenly white. Or whatever color...

Scam. Viator is a scam. If their tours cannot pick up on time good luck getting back to your ship on time. - Tour company was a no show. They claim they left at 9:45however our pickup time was 10:00. There were 4 other couples left stranded. It ruined a valuable once in a life time opportunity to see Rajkevik.
