Wonderful self guided tour! Would recommend ! - The self guided tour was amazing , it told us exactly where to go and gave us great options that we would otherwise not know to stop at. The history and tales of Iceland added a wonderful touch! My 16 yrs old son was attentive the whole time and that a feat! Lol .

Beautiful Country - Well worth it. Very informative and easy to follow. Best thing we did was hire a car and follow the app. Diverted slightly to see different sites but stuck to the tour as much as possible. Beautiful country well worth visiting. Absolutely loved it. Had the heaviest snow fall since 1921. Was not expected but very welcome.

This audio made our trip a lot better - Highly recommend this. It gives you history and fun facts and points out hidden gems that you wouldn't know were there unless you listen to the audio.

Would definitely recommend! - This was our second self guided driving tour and it was great. It’s a lot of fun to listen to the history of the island as you drive through and get the opportunity to stop and experience the landscape. We really enjoyed being able to stay in our own vehicle and stop as we wanted to without being on a bus tour.

Historical, easy to listen to, relaxing and entertaining - Don’t worry about being at exact starting spot. Listen to the intro dentin - 5 of them before your trip. Get familiar with how app works in your car. Might need to have phone open and the video in car. Once you get used to how app works - it is great! Highly recommend

Excellent tour companion - We really enjoyed this golden circle audio tour companion. We already had a tour path determined before hand. It was an excellent enhancement to our day trip around the circle.

Golden Circle Success! - This was a super helpful way to navigate the Golden Circle on our own! Once we arrived at the appropriate starting point, the app took over and told us all of the key places to stop along our drive. The stories and anecdotes filled the time and gave us some fun facts to laugh about. Well worth the investment!

Perfect for a single day trip, if that is all the time you have, but recommend 2 1/2 days at a minimum. - The tour met our expectations. It seemed to spend a lot of time with mythology rather than speaking more about our current surroundings, which was frustrating. It did eventually hit on questions we were asking, but not till later in the trip. I suppose since we did the counter-clockwise version, that may be the case. However, 1/2 mythology is warranted and more about what we’re seeing would be nice. I would suggest breaking up the trip and not doing it straight through, it took MUCH longer than we anticipated and would prefer to stay in some inns and do more exploring.
