Fantastic! - We had a fantastic time with Palmar, who was waiting for us at the airport when we landed from the United States. He took our family of four around for the day, letting us stop for meals and other things of interest in addition to the itinerary for the day. Everything ran smoothly and we were glad to be able to make impromptu stops at places like a horse farm. The cost for a family is not much more than standard bus tours and it's worth it to have flexibility and delivery straight back to the airport. Highly recommend!

We saw so much! - Oh my, we saw so much! From geysers to waterfalls to volcano craters, amazing. We saw sheep and sheep and sheep, and horses. We were totally amazed, however, at the vast greenhouses growing tomatoes at Frioheimar. Next visit we would love to have lunch in their beautiful restaurant. Our guide was knowledgeable, kind and friendly, and was a delight to talk with during our tour. We had a great experience.

Book it. Look forward to it. Stop Searching. Brilliant. - When you travel to somewhere new, seasoned traveller or not, bringing the kids along... you need a little help! From the first email Palmer and Asgeir could not have been more helpful or reassuring. We never felt that any request was too annoying, or that any question was too daft! When it came to the days out, whilst you of course tick off the big ticket items (for example on the Golden Circle tour or the Northern Lights Hunt...) what we will remember more were the little touches. 'See the main thing like everyone else... then let me show you a quieter spot thats actually more stunning... and repeat!' The tales from Asgeir about industry, how people deal with the volcanos... what is being done to protect the infrastructure... and how salad, veg, fruit are grown... (and seeing the factories... those meant so much to us. Never rushed, just a lovely man with us, a terrific manner with our kids - our 9 year old was sad to leave because of his new friend! While no tour company will guarantee finding the Northern Lights we genuinely felt that we were an aligned five the night we went hunting, and to see his delight at OUR delight when we found them was also lovely! If you want trustworthy, knowledgeable, friendly private tours from proud, expert Islanders (who by the way KNOW how to drive in the snow!) in comfort... the only reason I wouldn't say 'don't look anywhere else' is just in case they are not free when we come back!!! 100% recommended, a gem of a find to ensure a lifetime of memories... will definitely be booking again. (5 stars is not enough!)

Unforgettable tour of a lifetime - The Golden Circle Tour was the highlight of our Iceland trip! Family owned , on time , polite, and SO informative about the history of all that we saw during our tour . He was wonderful . At the end of our tour it seemed like we were saying good bye to family rather than our tour guide!!! Highly recommend this tour . You will not be disappointed .

An amazing experience! - A fantastic way to discover Iceland. Asgeir was our guide for 3 days and that was great. A man with love, enthusiasm and pride for his country and he knows how to convey that perfectly. Very helpful and genuinely cares about his customers. He also has a wonderful sense of humor. The car is very comfortable and Asgeir wants to show you as much as possible. It was really a pleasure to be out with him. An experience that we will remember with great pleasure for a long time to come. If we are lucky enough to travel to Iceland again, we will contact him immediately.

The tour you need in Iceland - I went on a golden circle tour with Atlas Tours and it was amazing! The car is very comfortable and our guide and driver, Pálmar was so friendly and nice. There was no rush but we still got to see everything this beautiful area has to offer which was important to me since I'm a photographer and wanted to document these places. He took us to all the most amazing ones and it was so much fun. Thank you so much for having us! I will hold this memory very close to my heart. I highly recommend this company! All the best to you Best regards Rán
