Fantastic Tour with Great Guide and Comfort! - The Golden Circle experience was absolutely perfect! I truly enjoyed every part of the tour. Our guide did an amazing job narrating throughout the journey, sharing fascinating facts, stories, and local insights, while also giving us helpful recommendations along the way. It made the whole experience even more memorable and engaging. The bus was also very clean and comfortable, which made the travel between stops pleasant and relaxing. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland, and I’d definitely consider doing it again. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Nice tour, but stay short. - We could go to see horses in front of the national park. We only had about 30 minutes to stay in the national park. It would be nice if it was a little longer. They took almost 2 hours to see the geyser, so we had plenty to see! Guttorfoss also had time to go to the edge to see it. Our guide Michael opened a mini-Icelandic language course on the train and even gave me detailed guidance, which was fun. It was a very nice tour to remember. Takk fyrir, Michael!

Classic - The name of the tour says it all - classic golden circle. The tour was very well organised and our tour guide kept us all informed with lots of information throughout and excellent timekeeping. Despite very wintry conditions, the tour went to plan and each destination was breathtaking and a must see when visiting Iceland. The tour was very good value for money and we were collected and dropped off at our hotel, all on time. I would definitely recommend the company.

Wonderful Golden Circle - The escursion was very interesting, we saw many attractive places and could get good explanations from our audioguide. The starting time in winter could probably be delayed half ah hour, it would give a better view of Thingvellir.

Worthwhile bucket list trip - Bucket list of things to do in Iceland. Stunning scenery!! Very cold and slippery tho, so dress appropriately. Only down side was leaving last site at 3:15, we didn’t get back till 6:15.

Felt rushed and not the length advertised - The whole tour was very rushed with not enough time for any of the sites. I literally had to run to see every one, with no time for buying lunch. I think that was because we had to pick up an earlier group from the secret lagoon. We were back in 7 hours, not the 7.5 as advertised. What a shame to travel all the way and not be able to see each place properly as they were all amazing. They should have a longer tour with an extra 30 mins at each stop. Grayline and Reykjavik sightseeing are the same tour.

They canceled the tour... - They canceled the tour due to weather, however never process the refund. Many of my other bookings on Viator in Iceland were canceled due to weather. Other operators were prompt in issuing the refund other than this one.
