5.00A must do, sights are unbelievable and the greenhouse visit was really interesting. If only in Iceland for a short stay, this Golden Circle tour hits memorable highlights! Our guide, Marianne C., and our coach driver, Tomas D., were first class! A great day with interesting insights from Marianne made this tour!

5.00We spent the day with Marianne C our tour guide and Thomas our driver and 50 other guests. We enjoyed each stop and Gullfoss was by far the windiest and coldest but well worth the trip. We had beautiful weather and every returned to the bus when they were supposed to, making this a trip that stayed on time so we could see all that we were supposed to. Marianne C. was knowledgeable and happy to share information. Thomas was an excellent bus driver getting us in and out of those tight spaces. We would recommend this day tour with Reykjavík Excursions.
Unforgettable
