A fun day to see many sights

Lisa_B, Jan 2026
We really enjoyed the tour. Well planned and a lot of fun. The farm was extra special - I’ve never seen anything like that before - and lunch was superb as vegan and my partner as vegan and gluten free.

Check times carefully.

PENNY_B, Sep 2025
I was sent a reminder the day of the tour reminding me that it was that day at 9am. That was a change from 730am. We missed the trip because that info was incorrect.

Perfect Day Tour

Melissa_K, Sep 2025
Our guide for this tour was Agnes and she was wonderful!! She narrated our bus time with lots of facts about what we were seeing and gave clear directions on where to go once we departed the bus. The stops were perfect. Sad that we didn't get to have lunch at the tomato farm because they were fully booked. Seeing the food they were serving has us drooling! Overall, a great tour that moved along smoothly and included the best stops in the Golden Circle. Very happy.

We were picked up late...

Anita_R, Jul 2025
We were picked up late due to mechanical issues, but I was in communication through my booking link. We still had the full tour and were even given a little extra time at each attraction. Our guide was very friendly and super knowledgeable about Iceland.

Great day!

Janice_T, May 2025
Saw so much beauty and learned about Iceland’s use of their natural resources. The tomato greenhouse impressed us and the ice cream stop was the best I’ve ever had. Rhubarb ice cream and Biscoff ice cream are not your usual flavors. Walking was easy enough that even people with less than perfect knees can have a great experience.

Way to go Bjorn!

Katherine_H, Dec 2024
Bjorn was awesome. Very accommodating, but we got it all in. He is quite entertaining. I loved the tomato farm. I've seen Yellowstone geysers, but this one was really good too

Awesome day!

Marilyn_O, Jul 2024
Loved the tomato farm, dairy Fram with gelato and all the park stops. Horses were a treat . Tour guide was awesome.

Great day

Jake was great. We thoroughly enjoyed the day but wish there were not so many big buses traveling the same route

Debra_C, May 2024
We really enjoyed the tour. The pace was well orchestrated and we felt like we had ample time at each stop. Fridheimar Farm was really interesting and the food was fabulous.

Must book!

Golden Circle Tour with Martin

marcelle_b, Feb 2024
We really enjoyed our tour with Martin, our tour guide. He has a great sense of humor, knows Icelandic history, and was very patient and kind.

A lovely day out

Hannah_M, Jan 2024
Highly recommend taking this tour as a small group. The minibus can make so many more small stops that were unexpected but really nice. We stopped at an ice cream farm and got to see the horses as well as do all the other things advertised as part of the tour. Our guide Carlos was great. He was entertaining and he had a really good knowledge about Iceland despite not have lived there that long. A really nice day out and well worth it

Don’t miss out on it

Jessi_S, Jan 2024
We had a great tour with the EastWest company. Our guide Toni was so passionate, knowledgeable, and great at communicating what to expect. Small group tour had 18 people. Perfect amount of time at each location. This was a highlight of our trip.

Very nice trip, giude...

Monique_S, Oct 2023
Very nice trip, giude Leroy was amazing. We learnt and see a lot.. Ijsland is a beautiful and very special country..

Amazing landmarks, exceptional guide

Denise_S, Mar 2023
Our guide, Atli, was exceptional. He shared history and fun information throughout our trip and added on stops that were not included on our intinerary. This allowed for us to see so much of the Golden Circle as well as some smaller places that the larger buses do not stop at.

Unforgettable experience!

Abigail_J, Jan 2023
We had the most amazing time on this tour with our fantastic tour guide Baldvin. Baldvin was informative, funny & welcoming. We saw the most incredible views we will never forget! We particularly enjoyed the Geysir which was fascinating and the Tomato Farm lunch which was so unique, but honestly every part was amazing!! This tour also supplied us with crampons/spikes for our shoes which made the experience much safer when walking on icy areas! We loved every moment, thank you so much to Baldvin.

Allain was an excellent...

Magen_S, Aug 2022
Allain was an excellent guide. Very knowledgable and kind. The tour was great with just the right amount of time at each site.

Petra was a great guide....

Julie_T, Mar 2022
Petra was a great guide. Really enthusiastic and friendly and seemed to genuinely care that we made the most of our day. Had an amazing day from start to finish. Good value for money and breathe taking sights.

Perfect experience!

Muna_A, Feb 2022
Our tour guide Dagger was outstanding, he is a great driver in the snow and an amazing story teller, the group was the perfect size as well. We went to amazing places, more places than i expected! I would totally recommend this tour!

Amazing!! Definitely book this tour !

Amy_G, Feb 2022
This tour was amazing and the guide was excellent gave lots of info - unsure of his name but he said his friends call him wall-e (like the film)! Pickup was early / everything was on time. We were able to see everything we wanted within within 8-9 hours and it didn’t feel rushed at all enough time to see everything walk round and shop at some parts! The small group was great as it wasn’t as crowded. It’s an amazing tour if you’re only there for a few days as you see so much of Iceland and the tomato farm was a good stop as it is around lunch time and lots to choose from. We went in feb and There was so much snow which topped it all off Iceland was amazing. I would definitely pick this tour if you are deciding between a few. We were left to our own devices at each stop which is good and our tour guide even added in a few extra stops along the way which was very kind of him. Very pleased :) unable to add pictures but it was amazing.

Fantastic day and guide

Kate_O, Nov 2021
Had the most incredible day and our guide Finar (excuse the spelling) was amazing - informative, funny and helpful - for what you see in a day it has to be one of the best

Fabulous!!!

Lorraine_B, Nov 2021
Amazing vistas, breathtaking sights, unbelievable wonders of our world. Excellent, friendly & super informative guide - huge well done to Hawk. Highly recomended

Best tour ever!

ReycoJethro_C, Oct 2021
Magnificent tour. Anna was so great and new her stuff. Would definitely go back and recommend to my friends.

Very nice tour and tour guide - recommend this if you want to see a lot of Iceland highlights in one day!

Alan_C, Aug 2021
Nice comfortable tour of areas in Iceland that would be difficult to visit on your own in a day trip. The guide/driver was very knowledgably and always took time both on and off the bus to answer questions and interact with the group!

GREAT!

Ilan_Minkin, Jul 2021
Long story short: It was excelent!!! For those people who does not have much time to visit Iceland, as well as for those who visit Iceland for long time, I strongly recomend this tour. I saw unbelievable thing that I can not stop thinking about (the most beautiful waterfall, lake in a crater of volcano, most beautiful lakes, steaming natural hot springs or just mind-blowing geyser). Sooooo worth the money!!! The pick up was very punctuate - the minibus arrived just on time! Last but not least - the guide: the best part of the tour. Our guide, Petra, is the best guide I have ever met. She knows her audience, tells only interesting stories and answers all the questions. REAL PROFESSIONAL!! In addition, she is very kind and take care of all members in the tour (for example, she drive all over Reykjavik till she find 2 travelers of our group just because they got lost and could not find the departure point)!!! BEST guide ever!! Higely recomended!!

Great tour

LOUISE_W, Mar 2020
This was the best tour of our stay and really highlighted the beauty of Iceland. We were lucky to get a bright and sunny ( but cold ! ) day. Our guide Berglind was amazing, very knowledgeable and funny. I would highly recommend this trip and this tour company ( Horizon ) Great !

Great tour - ask for Baldwin

Cathy_C, Mar 2020
Great tour with a great guide. Baldwin was informative, friendly and funny. He made the experience just a little bit better.

Great tour, lovely guide

Debi, Mar 2020
A great tour with a friendly knowledgeable guide - Kristina The bus missed us on the pickup but left us a message and came back for us - much appreciated.

Christmas in Reykjavik

Carol S, Jan 2020
Although it was a miserable rainy and cold day, our guide, Thor gave a great tour, fun and full of information, He kept the drive lively and answered tons of questions. I think there were 16 of us and he steered clear of the big tour bus groups whenever possible. And as a side note, at the first rest stop there was this bakery that made fantastic breads and sandwiches that kept us going throughout the day. I wish I had the name so I could order some more bread online! I highly recommend this company - communications were easy and reliable and the tour bus was clean and comfortable.

Spectacular tour - first class guide!

Jonathan S, Dec 2019
This tour took in all the major sights and was breathtaking from start to finish. The travel between destinations was kept interesting by our guide, Siggi, who told some hilarious anecdotes, stories and noted all the points of interest. In short, I would highly recommend this trip as good value for money and fantastic entertainment! EASILY FIVE STARS!
