Excellent tour guide Daniel - Our cruise ship was delayed to dock for 4 hours. We were so worry to miss entire excursion. Fortunately, Viator tour guide Daniel and driver were waiting for us at parking lot. Daniel was extremely nice and very professional. He guided us to all touring points until 9pm. We can’t say thanks enough to your wonderful tour staffers !!!!!!!

Well worth the money and time! - Daniel, our tour guide, was so easy going, funny and knowledgeable. Everything was on time and we got to experience extra sights not on the itinerary. I never write reviews but i would recommend Daniel and driver( name escapes me) for any type of trip in Iceland.

A great way to kick off a visit to Iceland! - Lovely tour, I sort of overslept the earlier tour due to a late night arrival so I was offered this tour and it was totally worth it. Great way to learn about Iceland, it's history along with getting a first-hand view of its unique landscape. It's pretty much a near full day event and totally worthwhile with stops for coffee, pastries and snacks.

Joanna was the best!!! - I was led by an amazing tour guide called Joanna who was absolutely brilliant and so passionate about the golden circle. She gave my small group facts about all the areas and what we needed to know before we got there.
The Gullfoss waterfall was my favourite part of it, i was at a loss for words.
I would definitely recommend doing this tour in a smaller group (minibus) as you get a better view of the landscape.
The blue Lagoon was OK. I’m sure there are better hot springs but i’m glad I did it. Hope this helps

Gary & Pako - Absolutely brilliant, I highly recommend this tour as a first time visitor to Iceland. The plan was seamless, everything ran on time, we were lucky to have good weather and no disruptions. It's an early start and these things are considered, there were food, drink and restroom breaks throughout, and these places catered well for us as vegetarians, the food was amazing. Every place we visited was stunningly beautiful, the time driving in the coach seemed to fly by. As for our guide and driver? I suppose I should give them a mention ;P Gary and Pako were brilliant, you couldn't ask for more. Good friendly banter between them, Gary was hilarious and very knowledgeable, I could listen to him all day long and I did! Thanks so much!!! Jody x

5 Stars!! - I had the best time on this tour! Beggi was a phenomenal tour guide. He was so knowledgeable on everything related to Iceland! I learned a ton, but he also made it fun. He told jokes, answered any questions anyone had, gave the history and fun facts of each place we went, and even sang a song (really well!). The sites themselves were incredible, I liked how many places this tour included. We even had a little time to make an extra stop! You don’t want to miss this tour.
