Stunning Landscapes

4.00I loved the experience and the tour was very well organized. We saw beautiful places and our Driver Yusuf was wonderful. The guide was great to a certain extent when he shared the stories of Iceland and I thought he had a good sense of humor too and I complemented him.But then after some time all he spoke about was Himself. That he has acted in films and he has so many followers on Instagram and went on and on. At one point I completely switched off. And so many people in the bus had the same opinion. We came on the tour to know about Iceland and not the guides life. He is a good storyteller and did give us interesting insights as long as he was talking about Iceland
Great tour at a fair price!

5.00The Golden Circle program was great. Every place was incredibly beautiful. The tour guid was very professional and friendly. I could say it was a perfect program! For the Northern Light, i understood that the week that i went was the last week of the aurora season but the tour guide did his best to chase the northern lights until we could see it. Incredible!! We were really impressed.
