Our tour with Sergei was...

Eva_S, Aug 2025

Our tour with Sergei was wonderful! Can’t thank him enough for his hospitality and knowledge. We all enjoyed the day and learned so much along the way. Would definitely recommend taking this private tour.

Dear Eva, Thank you for your kind words, and thank your family for letting me introduce you to the Golden Circle route.

Excellent Guide

The guide was knowledgeable and informative. We agreed with his suggestions and had absolutely no regrets. Could not have had a better experience.

Perfect time

michelle_c, Jun 2024

What a wonderful tour! For a nice short period of time, learned a lot about Iceland and saw some beautiful waterfalls and geysers. Definitely recommended.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Dear Mithell, thank you for your review and for letting me show you some of Iceland's highlands during our day trip.

Brilliant Tour

Lauren_B, Dec 2021

We arranged this tour as we were travelling with our two children, 4 and 8 years old and felt it gave us a little more flexibility, comfort and personalisation. Sergei was a fantastic guide. Before the tour he was happy to exchange a number of emails answering our questions and informing us of what to plan for. The 4x4 minivan is very comfortable and capable. Sergei is endless font of knowledge, not just of the main attractions but general information. Along the way he also offered small stops to see some of the other interesting spots on the route in addition to the 3 main stops which added to the personalisation. Thoroughly recommend!!

Thank you for your feedback and being with me on my trip to the Golden Circle. I hope you had great memories of your Christmas journey to Iceland :)

Had a fab morning with Sergi on our express tour, even managed to get a bity of shopping in!! Sergi's knowledge of the area and history was fantastic, great guide. Can't wait to revisit. Thanks, I would recommend this tour to all.

Response from Host, Jul 2020

Thank you for your feedback. It was easy to arrange small shopping, as tourist centers are located at every stop of the Golden Circle. And I was happy to share with you my knowledge about Iceland during this express tour. I hope you will have the opportunity to visit more routes in Iceland. South Coast to be the first in line :)
