This was a wonderful experience in the capable hands of our tour leader Odie and driver Albert. The sights were magnificent on a stunning day. The commentary was informative and entertaining. We had a good length of time at each site to explore. The bus was comfortable and tour well designed for a good balance of travelling and sightseeing off the bus

During the summer, take the earliest tour offered. We took the 10:30 and the crowds at every stop were significant at that time

They overbooked and we were on a separate bus than our friends and had to wait 40 more minutes. MANY were moved because they were overbooked.

Wonderful tour of Pingvellir, geyser, gulfoss and kerid crater - all amazing sights to see and walk around. Make sure you walk up the hill behind the geyser for wonderful views

We had a wonderful experience today on the Golden Circle tour in Iceland. Our tour guide, Darren, was so very interesting and did everything to make our day one of the best tours we have been on. We enjoyed every moment of his commentary, his knowledge and stories which entertained us throughout the day.It was a long, exciting day and every stop we made was better than the last. Cannot say enough positive words about our experience! Thank you, Darren!

Fabulous sights of Iceland. Really enjoyed this trip and the guide had plenty of interesting stories to tell. Beautiful photo ops at each place. The waterfall is stunning and the crater is fantastic. All well worth doing.

This was the best excursion tour I've taken, largely due to our guide, Thorey! She was not only super knowledgeable, she was funny and genuinely interested in answering all our questions. Ask for her tour specifically!
Jorge_R, Mar 2026
We had excellent weather which allowed us to enjoy flawless Views. Good for Samy, our guide, her talk was very engaging.
Bridget_K, Mar 2026
I’ve taking a lot of tours and Anna was absolutely at the top for the experience she provided. Friendly, funny, amazing story telling, patient and easy to connect with immediately which is impressive for such a big group. Our driver Gregor drove us around safely and kept the bus comfortable and clean. Highly recommend this Golden Circle experience. I wish I could have Anna guide us around the entire country!

Tour was very good
Bus a bit late but they took the trouble to drop us near hotel. The guide and driver were great
Rchard_K, Sep 2025
The tour was very well run and covered all the sights as were described in the description of the tour online. Sunny, our tour guide, was exceptional in her description of each site and also giving recommendations on which way to get the best views. Szymon our
driver was a true professional.

Well organized. The tour guide Youray was very knowledgeable and informative. Youray shared with us his life experiences and family histor. Each experience was not too rushed. This tour is not one to miss. Out drive Lucas was good with he's time keeping to each of the activitie locations and he also had a good sense of humour.
