5.00This full day tour was the definite highlight of my 5 days in Iceland. Mr. G was a wonderful narrator for our trip he was skilled at weaving daily life experience with icelandic history. Anyone would be fortunate to have him as their guide. Mihae drove the bus skillfully and a great time was had by all I spoke to.
A great day on the golden circle

5.00We had a fantastic tour guide Steinunn, who was very informative and knowledgeable. Our driver Siggi got us to our destinations safely and on time and both spoke great English. The tour destinations were excellent and the time of year played a part with snow covered mountains as a backdrop. Our first stop was the geothermal greenhouse showcasing how volcanic energy allows you to grow things you wouldn't expect. The geyser was incredible to see in action, blasting 10s of meters into the air and a good chance to get a nice lunch. The waterfall was the highlight for me as the spray had frozen on the cliff walls, creating a spectacular view. Lastly, the rift valley had spectacular scenery and history in spades. All in all, you are missing out if you don't see this.

5.00Richie was a phenomenal tour guide and really went the extra mile to make our tour enjoyable. We went with our little boy and he really enjoyed it - Richie is great with kids and had unashamed enthusiasm for the sites we saw. To top it off - he has a fantastic playlist for the journey back Our driver magic Mike was fantastic too - such a smooth ride and quick journey home.

5.00Richie was great! He is very knowledgeable about the geography and history of Iceland and explains it well! But it was the extra touches like the thoughtful music choices, the additional guided walks at the stops, and especially how he makes everyone feel welcome. Ritchie has a great rapport with Mike the driver, and the other guides we met at different stops. A great experience!
It's was so beautiful.

5.00The price of tickets is high for the trip, if the food was among the ticket payment, it would be better, but if you cut the ticket price it would also be better because there are a lot of people who want to go on the trip and because they think the amount is high, so if the price of the trip is balanced it will be better, and there should be discounts such as if the two people took two tickets, the amount will be lower.
One of my best experiences

5.00The Golden Circle Tour was wonderful and took me to some incredible natural wonders. I was left with an unforgettable impression of Iceland's beauty. Despite some rather adverse wind conditions, our bus driver (Marek) drove us safely to all the locations. The tour guide (Magrit) provided interesting information in a very pleasant and well-paced manner. Once we arrived at each location, we were able to explore the sights on our own, which I found very enjoyable.
