Five stars from start to finish - Margarida picked us up from the airport and took us to the Blue Lagoon and kept our bags for us while we traveled the Golden Circle with Andres. Andres did a great job providing many details and helping our older mother accessing the sites. It was a long day for our first day of our arrival, but well worth it!

Pro quality, world-class private tour. - We had a *wonderful* time with Andres yesterday. He had a flexible schedule for us and picked us up at our hotel (on time) shortly after we arrived in Iceland. He completely customized the trip for us—allowing us to be on our own for certain sections (like a one-way walk in the national park—he dropped us off in one parking lot and picked us up at a different lot). There’s a bit of driving between stops, and Andres was great at answering questions, and just filling us in on life in Iceland in general. In our case, we opted to not go to the Blue Lagoon, but did the Secret Lagoon instead—seems to be a better option. (We definitely enjoyed the Secret Lagoon). In no case did he ever say “meet me here in XX minutes”—it was always “stay as long as you like!” All in all, it was an excellent personalized tour, wouldn’t change a thing. We’ve done tours all over the world—he’s right up there as a top professional.

Amazing experience. - It was an amazing experience. Our tour guide Andres was a really nice man. He was vey knowledgeable about Iceland and knew a lot about the history of the Golden Circle. The tour was by very special. The operator was Mercury Grail and Andres is the Manager . He took us to the Blue Lagoon. He was patient and allowed us to take our time. It was a very personalised tour just me my husband and our two children and Andres. It was snowing during the G/C tour but he took his time to drive and we felt very safe. I would recommend you try it.

Great Tour, Amazing guide! Must do in Iceland! - One of the best tours I have ever been on! My wife and I traveled to Iceland to celebrate her birthday. We looked long and hard into a personalized tour that would allow us to see all Iceland has to offer. Andres went above and beyond to make sure we enjoy every minute of your trip. From the details to the stops this is a must do when in Iceland! Thank you for the trip of a lifetime Andres!

A wonderful tour with incredible views and a great driver. - Absolutely fantastic and worth every penny. Recently went on the private day tour and had a wonderful time. Andreas was incredibly knowledgeable about the area as well as the local history and mythology of Iceland. Organising it was a breeze with excellent communication from the business. I really appreciated him going above and beyond, to make sure my mother who is an older woman was comfortable the whole time. We saw some excellent sights, took a walk by the tectonic plates, and visited a fantastic ice cream shop. Best of all we were allowed to move at our own pace and never felt rushed or intruded upon. Will definitely book again the next time I'm in Iceland. One side note I recommend booking directly via the website as you not only get a better deal but you can communicate directly and ensure you get exactly the tour you want.

Day Trip yo Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon - This trip was awesome even though it was very cold and windy. The scenery was beautiful with the snow! Andres was so flexible and knowledgeable. He was able to change the itinerary because of the weather and it turned our trip into a wonderful day. Ending at the Blue Lagoon was perfect. If we get to come to Iceland again we will definitely go with Andres at Mercury Grail!

Great for families - I want to thank Andres our tour guide for being so accommodating and caring towards our family. We came with our one year old son and he was very understanding and gracious. He knew all the best spots and was very easy to work with. We went to the blue lagoon the next day and he arranged something very special for us. We cannot thank him enough. If I come back to Iceland I will book with Andres and mercury grail again.
