5.00A fantastically beautiful tour with 18 people, where you get enough time to linger, eat and drink during the stops. Free, clean toilets are available at all major and well-known attractions of the Golden Circle Tour. The guide Mika is great! Informs you in detail about the spots and the locations. And initially we all tried a slice of Icelandic bread with butter baked in the lava floor - was very delicious and exotic. Thank you Mika for the great day with many beautiful and pictorial moments in Iceland. The weather was great, so you could capture the impressions on pictures and videos.

Everybody seemed in good spirits and very positive energy, the guide/driver was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, he was very helpful with my husbands wheelchair and nothing seemed to much trouble, the company provided crampons which was a much needed extra
