5.00The tour of this southern leg of the Golden circle with Tony was fabulous ! Very good info delivered with wit and and of course with history and fun facts Appreciated the extra info and heartfelt love if Iceland and its treasures Snowmobiling was great even with melting snow and difficulties navigating on ice We did have one guest hurt so I would make sure you are FIT for this If you have ambulating issues -choose another adventure. Tony and the glacier truck driver handled the injury and misfortune so well. Even stopping at Hospital enroute. Great tour with great memories!

5.00We had the best day traveling with Tony and seeing all of the best spots along the way to snowmobiling. Our snowmobiling portion of the day was fantastic and then we returned to Tony. Tony is hands down one of the best guides!

5.00Laifur did an amazing job coping with 14 of us who all knew each other. He was friendly, funny and polite, not to mention, incredibly knowledgeable about fact, figures, geology and the retail situation in many of Iceland's regions. He gave us the perfect amount of time at each stop to refuel and enjoy the site seeing whilst covering a lot of ground. Thank you!
Absolutely wonderful trip

5.00A very full day, the snowmobiling was outstanding, you don’t have to bring ANY cold weather gear, they have you covered head to toe. Our driver for the day was Erik, fantastic tour guide, funny and knowledgeable. The hikes and the food and the geysers were all exceptional.
Enjoyable stress free way to explore

5.00A wonderful tour of the must see sites along the golden circle in Iceland. The one hour of snowmobiling on the glacier was fantastic and thrilling. Our guide Dori did a wonderful job. This is a small group tour with the maximum of 16 passengers. Although long in duration, it was beautiful, getting to see the rugged landscape of Iceland as we traveled from location to location.

5.00Great tour. Gudjon Jes was a great tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and entertained us the entire tour with lots of information. The snowmobiling tour was great but there were too many people and it would have been better to split into two groups with the slow and fast.
