Amazing views - If you’re coming to Iceland for the first time or if you haven’t experienced the views of the Golden Circle this is a great tour. Monika was a fantastic tour guide and showed us around the city as well as the golden circle while giving great details and facts of history along the way. She was super knowledgeable and very enthusiastic and I am happy that I had her as my tour guide.

Not to be missed experience - Booked through the tourist office (wasn’t available with tour company) an absolutely amazing trip which we would whole heartedly recommend. Taking in many of the must-see sights such as the Golden waterfall, we were lucky enough to see a rainbow over the falls, the Geysir, lunch at the tomato farm and finishing with a lovely relaxing couple of hours on the Secret Lagoon. We can’t speak highly enough of our wonderful fun guide Monika who made sure we made the best of each location and she was a wealth of knowledge about the island. Absolutely lovely lady ❤️

Amazing day... don't miss out! - This was an amazing day. The scenery and the geology were incredible and Evo, our guide, made everything come alive with his knowledgeable and interesting commentary. Nothing was too much trouble for him. His aim was to make sure we all had the best day and we totally did. Professional and friendly everything ran smoothly and we couldn't have asked for more.

Wonderful tour of the Golden Circle, finishing in the Secret Lagoon! - We had a great time on this tour, we saw many beautiful sites on the circle, including a national park and overlook as well as an amazing waterfall. We also visited a really interesting greenhouse farm where they product vegetables and other things using the geothermal energy. We had lunch at the farm, including some awesome tomato soup as well as spectacular fresh bread! The day was finished at the secret lagoon, the oldest of its kind in Iceland, and its amazing, with really nice views and nice warm water directly from the hot springs. Our guide, Amir was really great as well, giving us great facts and stories throughout the entire trip, and driving safely through some treacheous rain and fog. Definitely would return!
