Best and most personal tour guide I’ve been to. - A full day with amazing views and an excellent tour guide. Our tour guide Dofri gave us a very unique experience with everything from a tour to the stables, great local food, great views of the waterfalls, geysers and the black beach. The enchanting Viking story’s took the experience to another level.

Wonderful tour! The highlight of our Iceland trip! - This trip was so wonderful that everything we did afterwards paled by comparison. Dofri helped me plan the tour and answered tons of questions. Then he coordinated with me the week prior to make sure we had the right clothes for the weather and that pick up would work smoothly. Steinhar was our guide. He meshed well with my family and graciously dealt with everyone's differing health and physical abilities. He was flexible about where we wanted to go, how much time we wanted to spend there, and where we wanted to get picked up and dropped off. We even got some hidden gems and extra views off the beaten path. With Steinhar, we learned a lot and laughed even more! (My family is still repeating Steinhar sayings a week later.) I wanted to learn about elves, drolls, and the hidden people and Steinhar's stories were excellent. If I could give this trip 6 stars out of 5, I would. Saying that it was excellent is underselling the experience.

AMAZING two day excursions together with Dofri! - We have been on a business trip for 4 days, 2 days we had activities. We visited the "Golden circle" and did river rafting one day. Day two we went on an ATV tour + Lava tunnel. We had our guide Dofri with us who made sure this trip was unforgettable! We couldn't have found a more fun guide! We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful time we got to spend with Dofri and we can warmly recommend him to everyone who is going on excursions in Iceland! We miss Dofri already!

Lovely tour and amazing tour guide - The Golden Circle tour was a great experience and Dofri was a very funny and interesting story teller about Icelands fantastic culture and history. The Goldern Circle Tour exceeded my expectations. The combination of breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, and expert guidance made for a fantastic experience. I can’t wait to return and explore more of this incredible country!

Terrific Golden Circle Tour - We were six seniors including one disabled person using a scooter and we had a blast. Dofri picked us up timely at our hotel and we set out with his telling us about the Iceland saga and his family. Dofri is a wonderful story teller. He tied the tales to the places we were viewing. He was kind, thoughtful and quite funny. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with him. It was a great tour of iconic Iceland sites.

Amazing tour with Dofri! - Magnificent! Spectacular! And the scenery of Iceland was wonderful too. But I am referring to our travel guide, Dorfi H. Our group explored the Golden Circle, South to Vik and Thorsmork, and then North to Akureyri and Husavik. Dorfi helped me refine the plans to see the tourist spots, but also explore off the beaten path. Our group ranged in age from 9-84. He made everyone feel comfortable and important. Dofri has a vast knowledge of Iceland and its history. But his stories on folklore and Vikings kept us entertained for hours of travel. Dofri is one of the most interesting people I have met. He is educated and well spoken on a variety of topics. We were missing our dog and he brought his 2 border collies who were adored by all. I really can't recommend Dofri enough. He made our 7 days of travel with him so enjoyable and informative. Enjoy your time with the best!

We had an amazing experience - We came all the way from Brazil, and such an amazing experience with our guide Dofri. Our guide was aways delivering much more then expected. Huge cultural level, filled with great stories and great interpretation (he's an actor as well). He took us to places beyond the ones we booked. Thank you for everything Dofri!

Golden Circle Gems: A Memorable Experince with Dofri and Reykjavik Errupts - This was the second of three tours I did with Dofri and Reykjavik Erupts. I also wrote reviews of those tours. The Golden Circle tour with Reykjavik Erupts was fantastic! I thought the first tour we did with Dofri was great, but this one was even better. It was like spending a day with a long-lost cousin who knew all the ins and outs and fun things to do in his home turf. Dofri and his canine helpers, Hneta and Kvika (we asked if they could continue to tour with us), started the day by picking us up at our hotel and soon headed out to the Golden Circle. Our first stop was Thingvellir. On the way there, Dofri began telling us the saga of one of his ancestors, Egill. I won't spoil anything here, but I may now know where a horde of silver is buried in Iceland. I should also add that after hearing the saga from Dofri, I went out and bought a book on Egill's Saga. He is a credit to his skald ancestor and tells it better than reading it in a book, hands down. When we reached Thingvellir, Dofri was quick to help my mom in her wheelchair. She only needs it on long walks, and this was a long walk... downhill. Holding a wheelchair back while walking downhill is a lot harder for me than pushing it uphill. But Dofri stepped in and took care of it, keeping my mom safe and comfortable while we walked. As soon as the ground was flat, he allowed me and mom some private time to enjoy Thingvellir together. Later, he kept my mom occupied by playing fetch with the dogs while I took a hike up to a small but beautiful waterfall that was not accessible to her. We stopped briefly at a secret, off-the-beaten-path place near a lake. There, we saw how traditional Icelandic rye bread was cooked (fascinating). It was a beautiful area, and we were some of the only people there. No big buses of people. Dofri made us reservations at Friðheimar, the famous tomato farm. It was at the top of my mom's list as she used to grow a huge garden. We ate some of the best tomato soup there, and I even tried tomato ice cream (pretty good). We then visited Gullfoss (where again Dofri kept my mom company so I could explore more on foot) and then my favorite stop of the day, Geysir. He snapped the best photo of me and mom (I will share that with my photos). That's another great thing about having Dofri as a guide: his eye for a good photo! We headed for home after that, but not before Dofri took us to one of the best secret ice cream cafes in the area. We learned a lot more on the way back to the hotel about Iceland and its people... including some personal stories from our guide himself. I highly recommend Reykjavik Erupts and Dofri in particular to everyone who wants to book a private tour in Iceland. I booked a private guide because I brought my elderly mom with me on a short trip to Iceland, and I knew private tours would be best considering our limited time and her mobility issues. Dofri made sure our Iceland experience was priceless. Please see my other reviews (Visit the Volcanoes and South Coast) for more information about Reykjavik Erupts. I fully plan to go back to Iceland in the future, and I will be sure to book Reykjavik Erupts again when I do.

Wonderful experience - Great guide! Knew so much about Iceland from history, nature, wildlife, society and politics to the great sagas of the Icelandic culture and heritage. We met him as a guid but left him as a fried!
