A magical day! - We travelled with our 8 year old who really enjoyed the day and learned a lot. We read about the tour before booking but were still surprised at how much scenery we got to see. Our tour guide, Greta, was great and gave us so much interesting information about Iceland. The stops were well planned and we somehow avoided some of the crowds which made the day even better. We obviously could've spent longer at each stop but with the time available, we felt like the day was very well planned.

Golden Circle Tour - This is a fantastic small group tour of about 18 people with numerous stops at all the key areas of the Golden Circle. Our guide, who was also our driver, was well informed, though the audio system in the small bus was not working very well so it was hard to hear him at the back. He made up for that at each stop by filling everyone in on the information he shared during the driving sections.

Top notch driver/guide made for an outstanding tour! - prompt pick-up at the meeting point. Knowledgeable and personable driver/guide who spoke clearly and provided insight into Icelandic life. The itinerary was terrific - quick rest stop then off to the Kerid crater, Gullfoss, Geysir (great gift shop and good lunch options), and tectonic plates. Itinerary comprised of attractions which were very interesting; great combination of places to visit! Seats were a little narrow for the fluffy passengers. Driver even helped a passenger with their seat belt at every stop. Good, safe driving!

Great tour, great guide with bonus stops! - Andres is a terrific guide and driver! The tour was great, a wide variety of different Icelandic wonders. Beyond that, I especially appreciated the bonus stops to feed the Icelandic horses, and to get some Icelandic ice cream at a dairy farm! Andres made a point of showing us where to go, and where and when to be back at the bus, which he often moved to a more convenient end point so we didn’t have to backtrack. His stories and information about Iceland were interesting and entertaining as well. Highly recommend this tour and guide!

Interesting landscape. - Very nice experience, very unusual landscape that we were able to see during the tour. Nice that we were in a mini bus since we had a small group. The speaker system was very poor so neither of us was able to hear the narration of the guide, which was unfortunate.

Sites we visited were... - Sites we visited were excellent. Tour could have been better if we had a guide who spoke English without a heavy accent. Tomas was knowledgeable and very nice and helpful. The walking was extensive and could have been made easier as my friend 's tour began at the top in Pingvellir where they were able to walk down the very steep hill. We were deposited at the bottom and had to walk up the steep incline to the top! Tomas knew that both my husband and I had difficulty walking. Otherwise , the tour was good and should be a part of one's time in Reykjavik.

Tour guide/driver made... - Tour guide/driver made the experience all about him and his interests instead of about Iceland. He kept stopping to intract with people he knew in the horse community instead of staying focused on the planned tour stops. The mini bus was extremely hot and cramped. Driver did not seem to know how to operate the dual zone AC.
