Absolutely amazing excursion! Small group size added a special personalized touch. Our guide Sven was outstanding. He is very knowledgeable, put safety first and provided an excellent tour. I appreciate the kind service and alternative options he provided for my mother with mobility limitations to feel fully involved in the tour. Highly recommend this tour, Sven, and this tour provider!

Many thanks for the review and that you had booked with us.
We were in a van with only eight of us. Our driver was also the guide and took us to the usual places of interest along the Golden Circle. It was a long tour, actually even longer than the eight hours listed in the online description. The weather was not very cooperative as it was very windy with clouds and even some rain at various times during the day. That was the only downside to the tour. No doubt it would have been much more enjoyable under better weather conditions.
One thing I have learned in Iceland--if you schedule a small group you will be in a minivan. As I have stated in previous reviews this has never been the case in other countries we have travelled (usually had a Sprinter-type vehicle). It is a trek from the ship to the tours depending on which slip you are docked. Our guide, Yolina, was very personable and seemed to throughly enjoy showing us the Golden Circle. We made multiple stops throughout the day with the highlights being Gulfoss Waterfall, Crater, Geysir and Thingvellir. Yolina made several small stops (ice cream, small crack, Icelandic horses, bread baking) which added to the Icelandic experience. We were even able to do a short drive through of Reykjavik. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed this tour and our guide.

Dear Stayey, thank you for your Review.
We used a Minivan on that particular day, because on your Tour were only 5 passengers.
For Tours with more passengers we use a Sprinter.
Our Guide Jónína enjoyed the Tour with the nice Group.
Representatives from the tour company were waiting with signs as we exited the cruise terminal at 8:00 am. (I would suggest they add ‘Viator’ to their signs. We almost didn’t stop!) We were in a minivan that could seat 8, but only had 5, so lots of room. Our driver, Jo, was friendly and knowledgeable. And being in a small group, we were able to stop at one or two off the beaten path places the big buses missed. A great overview of the amazing landscape that is Iceland. Jo dropped us back at the cruise terminal at about 5 pm. A full day, but we would definitely recommend it!
