Amazing Golden Circle tour - The landscapes were breathtaking and we could take very many stunning pics! The tour was well organized and well-rounded, it allowed us to have an insight of some of the beauties of Iceland. Our driver spoke perfect English, was kind and prepared and told us many interesting pieces of information both about the country and its nature. The van was spacious and comfortable, plus there were fresh water and snacks for us to enjoy, as well as blankets to keep us warm in case it got chilly in the back of the van. When we come back to Iceland, we will definitely contact EV Travel to plan some more day trips and discover more of this wonderful country.

Words can’t capture the experience. - As a seasoned traveler, I have had many tour guides and know when I have found an exceptional one. When you tell people you are going to Iceland, everybody shares their best experiences and what one should and should not do. But our group was looking for something more customized and Thomas at EV Travel worked with us over a course of several months to design the perfect experience. He was patient and talked us through the pros and cons of each “new idea” we put to him via e-mail. Am surprised after his busy days he always had the time to offer his seasoned advice and expertise. We got back less than 24 hours ago and the trip was amazing and mixed with so much fun (even Thomas laughed) and so many “wow” moments it is hard to list them all. Thomas was determined to offer the four of us the utmost care and personalized Icelandic experience and he definitely did!!! You can’t go wrong choosing EV Travel.

Exceeded Our Expectations! - Thomas was very prompt and picked us up at our hotel when expected. Not only did we get a full tour of the Golden Circle we also got a lot of history of the land and local culture as well. I cannot express enough how wonderful our tour was as well as our tour guide! If you have a short time or even an extended stay in Iceland and don't want to deal with a large bus and lots of people this is a MUST do!!! 5 stars is an understatement, it is worth every penny!
