This was a great tour! The golden circle reminds me of Yellowstone meets Alaska ! Our tour guide “Mr. G” and our driver Robert were great! You would think the greenhouse is an odd addition, but it is really awesome to see how Iceland cultivates their own produce !
Incredible day

Fun day trip with discovery of geysers and beautiful Gullfoss waterfall. Fine guide Albert: lots of info interspersed with fun anecdotes. Small flaw: although a minibus is a nice way to do the trip, it gets rather cramped when fully loaded...
Excellent

We went on the Golden Circle Tour with a great guide named Gunnar (Mr. G) and a friendly bus driver, Robert. The tour was amazing! A big thank you to Gunnar, who shared so many interesting stories about Iceland in a way that was easy to understand. He knows so much and made everything fun with jokes and charm. We really enjoyed all the stops and had plenty of time to walk around and take a closer look. Thanks again to Gunnar and Robert for such a wonderful day!

We did the tour today and had an excellent time. Mr G was our guide and Robert was our driver. Both were really professional, and Mr G is a brilliant tour leader. Lots of history and facts with plenty of fun thrown in along the way. We would definitely book a tour again due to the excellent experience we had. The sights were amazing, our personal favourite was the geyser area.
Beautiful experience

Great tour with lots of information. Our guide Unnur shared a lot of interesting facts about the country and its people in two languages. The stay times were well selected. An all-round successful day in bright sunshine and freezing wind. Highly recommended! Tour was super organized with a great bus driver Magnus!
Loving Iceland.
