Enjoyable guided tour. - Our guide Gunnar was great! He shared academic level knowledge of Icelandic history, geology, agriculture, bio diversity, nature, everyday life (and flawless English language). Also credit to our driver Pavel for great customer service.

Great tour for those with enough time for the tour - The tour guide Albert was second only to the stunning scenery of this trip. The tour had the right level of information for me keeping interest and allowing time to think about what had been said and appreciating the views from the bus.
The timing at each attraction was also bordering on perfect as there was enough time to see the landmarks, geysir and tectonic plates while not feeling rushed or under pressure… although two among our didn’t seem to agree or had lost their timepieces or something.
The coach itself was also very comfortable and in good condition. Driving also felt very safe and we made good time between destinations.
10/10 would recommend for travellers wanting to see the beauty of the golden circle and learn a thing or two from a proud local along the way.

Amazing Tour of Iceland’s Golden Circle - We really enjoyed this tour of the Golden Circle! The adults in our group would have enjoyed more time at each stop, but it was a good overall length with kids.
Our guide Gerta was amazing - she was extremely knowledgeable and funny without being too over the top. She gave a good mix of telling us about the things we were seeing and giving us time to reflect and talk with our group.
The bus was clean and comfortable, each stop had washroom facilities, a cafe, and a shop. We didn’t have time to do any shopping or stop at the cafes, though, because we were trying to see as much of the sights at each stop as we could.
The sights were absolutely incredible. It gave us a taste of what Iceland is like and made us want to come back to see more! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone with a shorter amount of time to spend who wants to see some of Iceland’s highlights!

A hasty exploration - The places visited were spectacular. The Guide (an elderly lady) was well prepared, ironic and extremely helpful and open to accommodate any request.
A flaw was the time available to admire the aforementioned wonderful. We would have liked at least an hour each.

Please choose another company. Rip Off! - The company is a scam. Their customer service is very inexistant. They don’t issue refunds. My elderly mother fell sick, the company did nothing towards it, not even a credit note. The company is very selfish and charge higher prices than elsewhere. Please go further, Iceland has many other amazing companies. This company only care to rip you off.
