    Perfect!

    I would say that the excursion is in a small van. We were 17 of us. You'll have plenty of time to see all, even for old people walking slowly. You also have plenty of time to eat (90 min) which you can divide between your lunch (not included) and the geysers. Cherry on the top are the three small surprises given. It's written that you're back after 9 hours but the group was small so we were back one hour early. The guide was very knowledgeable about Iceland despite being a foreign worker and told us a lot of anecdotes. I would recommend the excursion for its interest, its price, its small group and the information given.

    Thank you for your detailed review! We're very happy to hear you enjoyed the Golden Circle tour and had plenty of time to explore each stop at a comfortable pace. It’s great that the small group and the little surprises made the experience even more special. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again in Iceland!

    Best tour of Golden Circle 😍

    Our tour was really great, the tour guide Thales (sorry if i'm butchering the name) made sure we had the best experience even though we had an extremely bad luck with the weather. He even took us to some extra places that were not on the itinerary. One of them ended up on my top-2 places in Iceland. Such a great surprise. The tour guide was very friendly, competent and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included. Really great experience, thank you so much!

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re very happy to hear you had such a great experience on the Golden Circle despite the challenging weather. Thales will be thrilled to read your kind words. Sometimes a few unexpected stops make the journey even more special. We hope to welcome you back to Iceland again someday!
