Individual Iceland Experience - Even in bad weather conditions, we had a wonderful time. With a small group of max. 6 people we had plenty of time to explore the landscape along the tour and also to talk to exchange with our guide and fellow tourists. Thanks for everything to Adam and TRY Iceland!

Fabulous trip with personalised attention - A really great experience. Adam collected us in his jeep from the hotel and took us to the iconic sights of the golden circle. It was snowing heavily so the northern lights were out of the question - instead we decided on the Secret Lagoon, Iceland’s oldest hot spring public baths.

Winter golden circle and northern lights tour - We had such a great tour with Adam. He spent almost 12 hours with us, being very flexible with the itinerary due to weather and going above and beyond for us to try to see the northern lights. It wasn't in our plans but he even took us to secret lagoon. Adam is so knowledgeable about geothermal iceland and we loved the fact that the company is just him and his wife. We highly recommend touring with him; we'd happily go again ourselves.

Amazing night despite no northern Lights - Amazing fun day, Adam was very knowledgeable, friendly and we felt very well cared for. That night we did not see the lights but Adam had a plan B. We also got to lol of the top tourist highlights before the crowds and the six person excursion was worth the upgrade. I highly recommend.

The host with the most - We were very lucky to have such beautiful weather the whole day which made for the perfect pictures around the Golden Circle sites. Peter, our guide, was knowledgable about Icelandic geology and as the sky darkened, he was checking constantly for the Northern Lights so we didnt miss them. We found a great spot and the views were incredible - infact there really are no words to explain. The host really makes the tour and Peter's energy kept the group going despite the temperatures being -5C to -11C! Wonderful day, and wonderful experience. And a big happy birthday to Peter!

Fantastic experience seeing the Northern Lights - Adam was fantastic for the entire day. Very knowledgeable of all the sights and an expert locating the Northern Lights. Also an amazing photographer!! The car was fantastic, the day was well planned, and even if it was freezing, I would do it all over again happily. Highly recommend Adam. Adam if you're seeing this - hope we can get in contact for those photos too!!

Fantastic tour, great guide! - Spent almost 11 hrs with our guide, Adam…loved every second! The vehicle was comfortable and clean, Adam was knowledgeable and entertaining, and the sights speak for themselves in the photos. We didn’t manage to see the Northern Lights (can’t control nature!), but boy did Adam try for us! Highly recommend this tour for couples, solo travelers or a small group/family. Max 6 people in the vehicle. We travelled as a couple and had a lovely family (mum, dad, 14yr old) as companions on the tour.

Great way to see the Circle Tour sites and experience Northern Lights, - We were able to see the Thingvellir National Park, Geysir Basin and Gullfoss Falls. We appreciated the fact that the guide would drop us off at one part of an attraction with directions to hike to another location where he would pick us up. This was a great way to really experience these locations. (Note: these were not super difficult or long hikes). The northern lights were out the night we were there, but at first fairly faint. But on our way back into Reykjavik they came out in full force, and the guide was quick to find a place where we could see them well. The only downside was our dinner which felt overpriced.
