Great tour - This was a great day. The guide was very knowledgeable and told us a lot of facts about the areas we visited. We had lots of time at each area to see around and were told what time to be back and where he would be waiting. We had time to eat and to visit toilets. He made extra stop as we were making good time and had 2hrs 45 at the lagoon which was plenty of time. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel which was an excellent advantage. The mini bus was comfortable although a bit more leg room and space would have been nice as it was raining and there was nowhere to hang up your wet coat when you got back in and also you had to take it off before boarding to prevent hitting anyone with it.

12 hour Golden Circle with Blue Lagoon - Very long day (12 hours) and pick up process could be clearer as there were lots of buses at the pick up stop and this caused some confusion. But it was an amazing today. So much packed in. Loved the 2 hour Blue Lagoon stop at the end. Christina our driver / guide was fantastic. So funny and helpful. Always smiling and very welcoming and professional and incredibly patient. She was the highlight of the trip.

Brilliant experience and guide - Fantastic experience, especially the geothermal bakery. It was even better doing it in winter, or off peak. Much quieter than summer crowds. Tour guide was brilliant. Price was good too. Worth considering separate tours for hot springs or kerid crater as it did make each stop shorter.

Great guide makes all the difference. - The night before we received a text from our guide Kristina with information on our pickup in the morning including the license plate number which was very helpful and there were many people and tour buses at the meeting point looking for their correct tour. She also informed us of Northern Lights sightings that night which was above and beyond. Pickup was on time and we headed off. Kristina was very friendly and made the day very enjoyable. It was apparent she takes making your experience enjoyable and added many small touches to enhance your day. Each stop was interesting. She made sure to give a heads up on bathrooms and food options. She did “rush” us on lunch requesting that we take it to go. Being December and sunset around 3pm this allowed us to make the last stop before dark. I much appreciated this as I was concerned about the idea of sightseeing in the dark. Our drop off at Sky Lagoon felt a little rushed as the guide (a new guide for logistical reasons and drop off locations they met consolidated passengers). Sky Lagoon was amazing and pick from there and drop back at our hotel was seamless.

Amazing Golden Circle tour!!!! - This experience was amazing!!! Olmy tour guide, Christina did an amazing job and was very thorough regarding her knowledge of iceland and stops on the golden circle tour. My favorite part was at the end to finish the day at the hamsvick (spell check) hot springs and overall i enjoyed time at the geyser stop and Icelandic horse stop.
