Book a private tour with Arnes, do yourself a favor! - I didna similar your with a different company in December of last year, that tour was good, but do yourself a favor and book a private tour with Arnes! He was absolutely delightful and very educational. Our experience was his paramount concern throughout the entire trip. His private tour also gives you an experience you can't get from a larger group. His price is more then fair for this tour, well worth the money. My girlfriend and I will be using Arnesen again the next time we're in Iceland!

Golden Circle with Secret Lagoon - Our entire trip was excellent. Our guide Andres was so friendly and knowledgeable about all of the stops we made. He took the time to explain each stop with detail and history.

Truly a golden circle tour! Fantastic tour with Andres! - Our tour was fantastic! Andres was so kind and thoughtful. He was extremely knowledgeable about every spot we stopped at. He took the time to explain each stop in detail. We never felt rushed. We traveled in his van and we felt we never would have experienced Reykjavik the same way with a big tour bus crowd. We had a jam packed day full of amazing sights with Andre. Truly fantastic gentleman! You will not be disappointed taking a tour with him.

The Perfect Day in Iceland - Andres is THE MAN. He really customized our day trip by listening to our interests and making recommendations based upon them. Great communication ahead of our time together so you were never left wondering. Pick up and drop off was at our door. We stepped out and there he was waiting. I mentioned about getting back to Reykjavik in time for our dinner resie and Andres made sure of that (even offering to drive us to the restaurant). He is very knowledgeable and everyone we encountered seemed to know him. All we had to do was sit back and relax as he brought us to all the highlights Iceland has to offer. At each site he was careful to not hover and let us have our own experience but was near by where we never had to search for him. I would book with Andres at Mercury Grail without hesitation. So much better than being on a tour bus.

Not to miss tour! - Andres made us feel safe - escorted us everywhere - was not rushed - tailored the tour to us specifically and our interests and even made a special stop at a local grocer to buy authentic candies for our kids. His knowledge is extensive and his English was great. A fantastic day !

Very Enjoyable and Flexible Tour - Great tour with Andres. We were on a cruise ship and needed flexibility so we could safely make it back to the ship in time. Andres was able to take us to all the special places without feeling rushed, and provided great information. Very enjoyable tour.

Wonderful Golden Circle experience - We enjoyed a fabulous day off our cruise ship with Andres taking in Thingvellir National Park, the Geyser, Gullafoss waterfall and a bathe in the Secret Lagoon. He was also kind enough to stop further on the way back to see some of the key sights with the city of Reykjavik.
Andres accommodated all of our requests and nothing was too much trouble. we enjoyed very relaxed conversations throughout the day. He is a very kind and considerate person. His driving was calm and measured.
We would fully recommend this tour to anyone in Reykjavik but particularly to cruise passengers who would probably be paying something like double the cost for half the time and with a coachload of people rather than a private SUV with Andres.

One of the best guides, if not the Best - Where do I start? How about saying Andres is an amazing guide. Not only knowledgeable about the sites we visited, but also of the Icelandic people, their history and Iceland history as it interacts with the rest of the world. And Andres is willing to adapt to his customer desires, be it weather related, hiking ability and more. Worth all the money it takes.
