If You’re New to Iceland, Start Your Trip with This Tour! - We booked the Private Golden Circle Tour with Siggy, and it was absolutely the highlight of our Iceland vacation. My spouse and I, along with four others, had never been to Iceland before, so we were excited but a little unsure what to expect. From the moment we met Siggy, though, we knew we were in good hands. He’s not only the guide, he is the company owner - and it shows. Throughout the day he shared fascinating history about each landmark, explained the geology and mythology behind the landscape, and made sure we understood what we were seeing. He paused for photo-ops and took so many incredible photos for us, then went out of his way to share the pictures soon after the tour. What really elevated the experience: Flexibility & extra options: Siggy gave us optional detours and side-stops, explained why each was special, and let us choose the pace. Personal touch: There was even a fun little “prize” up for grabs, more than enough food options/restaurant stops, and genuinely helpful recommendations for the rest of our stay. Great storytelling + local knowledge: We learned about Iceland’s history, geology, and local culture in a way that made each view more meaningful. It felt like a 5-star private tour. Warm, informative, flexible, and full of personal touches. It’s truly the best way to kick off a vacation in Iceland. We couldn’t recommend Siggy’s company more. Whether you’re new to Iceland (like we were) or you’ve visited before, this tour is a must.

Amazing Adventure - We had a great day, what an experience! Sigfus was a fantastic guide! He was very well informed, and the tour ran smoothly. We saw everything that was planned, and he even took us to a few "off the beaten path" stops when time permitted. Also, he provided us with water, other drinks and even a wide variety of snacks. We would highly recommend this tour of the Golden Circle and so much more! A+++++

Great Day seeing the Golden Circle - Siggy was so much fun to tour with! He covered alot of territory in 11 hours. We loved the sites on the Golden Circle and he added a few hidden gems as well. Lunch at the tomato farm was amazing! His van was very comfortable to ride in and we loved the local treats he shared with us. He was very conscientious about getting us back to the shop on time. We would highly recommend him as a tour guide to get the full Reykjavik experience!

Wonderful Golden Circle tour - Our driver, Siggy, was amazing and personable! He added a lot of close by attractions that he knew about along the Golden Circle. He took us to see the currently erupting volcano. He has lived in Europe and in the United States, but he is Icelandic and very familiar with his country and the terrain. He was very adaptable to our wishes, timelines, and needs. Highly recommend.!
