Once in a lifetime experience - Great experience. Once in a lifetime experience. Well worth the money. Took the whole family with two kids under the age of 13. They enjoyed it, the rides can be long but you get to see a lot of the natural beauty of Iceland.

Perfect Day on Golden Circle and Secret Lagoon Tour - We had a wonderful time with our guide Hildigunnur today. She was so informative, kind, and fun. Although the weather wasn't perfect, our day was. Iceland is an amazing place to visit. We had plenty of time at all our stops and were back in plenty of time. Also, Johanna helped us so much in getting us on the perfect tour for us. Thank you!

Rakel is the best!! - I had a fantastic day on this tour, mostly due to how excellent our guide, Rakel, was. She provided not only insightful and historical information throughout the tour, but fun folklore stories as well and kept us all on schedule for a great day! All of the stops were lovely, including the lunch spot Rakel stopped at, & I recommend for anyone wanting a great introduction to Iceland & its gorgeous landscape.

Well beyond expectations thanks to Rakel - Rakel made this tour a 5 star exemplary excursion for us, and a perfect introduction to the history, politics , geology, vegetation, folklore, etc. of Iceland. She clearly loves her country as well as her work as a tour guide and Iceland specialist, and her talents as a story teller did not go unnoticed. Not only did she take a personal interest in each one of us in our small group, she was more than happy to answer our questions, even though she had likely been asked the sane ones hundreds of times before. The variety of activities and sights on this Golden Circle tour was a perfect balance of walking, viewing, listening and relaxing. Thanks to Rakel , our short visit to Iceland has confirmed we must return.

Incredible Day Trip - This tour was a fun experience with beautiful sights! The guide, Rakel, was wonderful - great information, fun stories, and so helpful. The group was small and we had fun getting to visit with the others. The stops were amazing, lunch was incredible, and the Secret Lagoon was very relaxing.

Barely a Good Visit... - The first 2 places (Thingvellir and Strokkur) did not Wow me and my friends. The Gulfoss Waterfall and warm bath at Secret Lagoon even up the experience. Our guide is a thinskinned proud Icelander who talked proudly about her grandfather. She "elved us to death." Her favorite expression: "You are not listening." Her English is not great.

Hot Golden Circle Tour - The driver/guide was extremely known about the history and places/sites where we stopped. He allowed time at the stops so we could experience them. My booking was this past Monday which was an unusually warm day. Unfortunately the van used for the tour did not have air conditioning and it was an extremely hot and uncomfortable 8 hours sweating inside the vehicle. Although the driver tried to open some vents there was minimal air circulation and it was not an enjoyable trip
