5.00What a great tour but our tour guide was the best!! Hjalti Bjornsson was amazing! He would give so much information and was a great driver too. He even stopped for the Iceland horses, small town greenhouses and town geothermal power/water which wasn’t even on the tour. I would take a trip with him again anytime!
Great Guide and size!!

5.00Hjalti Bjornsson was a great guide and driver. Great size group and smaller tour. He even stopped to see the horses, the small village power plants, and the greenhouses which were not even on the tour. He was amazing. May try to book a longer tour with him again. So glad we picked this tour.
Highly Recommend

Quick tour to take in the Golden Circle highlights

4.00This tour is not a fully guided tour. That said, our driver, Dovile, was always very good at sharing details about each destination before we got there. She kept us on time, engaged and entertained. If you're short on time, would recommend this tour.
Self guided tour

3.00This is more of a self guided tour, which was not what we expected. The driver was a man with few words and heavy accents. There was barely any information provided, and he never got out of the car. The Icelandic scenery was beautiful.
Must-do tour!

5.00A must-do tour! With the ease of a comfortable small group van, the day flies by and you’re back to the city at 4pm. The sights were unbelievably beautiful and we even got an extra stop to feed some Icelandic horses! I definitely recommend this tour to optimize your time here
