Such a breathtaking tour of the otherworldly landscape of Iceland. What really made it come to life was our lovely tour guide, Cuba. I learned so much about Iceland from his passion about the country. He didn't overwhelm us with facts and didn't leave us in long stretches of silence. He gave us space on stops to explore and then later re-group. I can't recommend this tour enough. Thank you!!

shout out Edo that was so cool and he brought us to a bunch of fun side things and was super knowledgeable
We had a knowledgeable local guide Omar who added thoughtful commentary to a solid tour of the main attractions. The Blue Lagoon stop really makes this tour special and despite a little rain, we were able to have an amazing time!
This tour was excellent & our guide was very knowledgeable & fun. We lucked out & the sun shone. Crater was unimaginable & enjoyed the Blue Lagoon experience.
As soon as our guide Toby welcomed us, we immediately knew the trip would be fun. During the tour, we learned a lot about Icelandic history, interesting facts, and modern day realities, and the locations themselves were truly spectacular. The guide was very communicative with a great sense of humor. Even though the trip was really long, the time just flew by.
Great itinerary! The Blue Lagoon should not be missed! The Gullfloss and Crater, National Park and many geysers were what my husband and I were looking for! Thank you Ziggy our guide for making it fun!
We were worried about such a long day. Kuba was an amazing tour guide! We were worried about such a long day. But he kept us entertained and busy! He was also extremely knowledgeable and funny. He even shared his favorite Icelandic music, which was great and a favorite ice cream stop, which was incredibly delicious. Many of us were not happy that the schedule was changed to make the Blue Lagoon the first stop on the tour. But his optimism about the change was contagious, and the day turned out perfectly!
We would highly recommend this tour.
Especially if you only have a short amount of time to spend in Reyljavik! Be sure to request Kuba!
This was an amazing experience! So many beautiful sights, a fantastic tour guide named Mikki, and a wonderful stop at Blue Lagoon at the end!
I had a wonderful experience on this tour as a solo traveler. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and Mikki was a friendly and very informative guide who made the day even more enjoyable. I felt completely comfortable throughout the tour and really appreciated how much I learned along the way. There was also plenty of time to enjoy the sights, use the restroom, and get food without feeling rushed. I also met some nice people along on my tour. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland.
This was a great tour. Only 8 people. Axel was a perfect guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable . We enjoyed the entire tour and highly recommend it.
Our tour guide was excellent. The bus was alittle tight at first but a few people moved around and we had more room. We booked the small group and had 17 people. Thought it would be less people. Other than that we really enjoyed it. A lot to see and it was excellent. Would definitely recommend it. Our guide showed us additional points of interest over and above what was scheduled. It was great.
Ragat was great. He gave context to what we were seeing. He talked about history and culture and the fact that mthebweather is unpredictable
It was good. Helgi was good tour guide. Interesting facts about Iceland. Was a sunny day. Good weather.
Helji was the best tour guide!!! I know so much about Iceland now!! He was so amazing!!! Friendly and very helpful person!!! Such an amazing day!!
Excellent tour! What even made it better was our tour guide Ragnar ! The sites were fantastic and the blue Lagoon was magical. Don’t miss this tour..
This was a nice excursion that was able to show us several areas of interest in Iceland. The guide was very knowledgeable.
This was an excellent way to see the highlights of Reykjavík. Rene was an excellent tour guide taking us from magnificent waterfalls to the enormous crater and ending with the famous Blue Lagoon. We saw much of the sea and countryside. The church was a lovely stop and we had the special added stop to see Iceland’s beautiful and special horses. We were even able to give them a treat. We highly recommend this tour but wear stable shoes for the significant walking!
Well organized and efficient. Good guide and beautiful places to visit. No much time for lunch so get it packed before
Tour guide talked the entire trip, giving facts and telling stories. Toby was awesome! Thought there was a pickup issue and messaged the company, they messaged right back confirming all ok
A must. Great trip great guideThomas. He was very detailed and all the wonderful sites and made sure that everyone had a good time.
It was very nice BUT Driver drove way to fast, kept passing cars and multiple cars at various times. He appeared to also be falling asleep. We heard a couple snores and then he opened his window wide and shut the heat down in the van . It was freezing and someone asked him to shut his window. He had no regard in his customers comfort
Joseph was an amazing tour guide. Funny and extremely knowledgeable about the country. The tour moved at an excellent pace and the day flowed together so nicely. Longest bus ride was less than an hour. Saw so many beautiful things, such a fun experience!
Sendri ( I hope a spelled it right ) was such a good guide, he is so nice and patient to be with our group. Knows a lot of things that was shared through our journey. Such a blessing to see this beautiful country!
A wonderful day. So many interesting and beautiful site. Ending the day at the Blue Lagoon as perfect
Our guide Petra was very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and kind.
The tour was long, but amazing! Our guide, Toby, was excellent. We appreciated his sense of humour and his knowledge of the history and geography. Make sure you ask him questions! Have something to eat at the Blue Lagoon if you're going to be back at the hotel late. Food options after 9:00 pm can be limited.
This tour was amazing! All of the sites were spectacular and totally worth it. Our tour guide Sigfus Thor made it even better, he was great! Plenty of stops for food and bathroom wasn’t an issue. We really liked the small group tour. Thank you!
Be prepared for a good amount of walking. So much to see in a limited time so manage time well. Better to be fit to fully enjoy the experience. See Strokkur first before eating lunch or snack at the Geysir center to allow for more time for Strokkur geysir.
Tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable.
Great day seeing Iceland outside of Reykjavik. Loved the Blue Lagoon.
A long but rewarding day. Great if you only have limited time in Iceland and want to see a lot of the sights.
Our guide, Roman, was knowledgeable and helpful, and was able to include a couple of additional stops (grindavik, quick stop at a volcanic beach and to see some Icelandic ponies).
Time on the minibus between stops wasn't too long and there was enough time at each stop to explore.
Our tour was cancelled due to bad weather, only the Blue Lagoon we did. Blue Lagoon experience was great.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry the Golden Circle portion of your tour had to be cancelled due to unsafe weather conditions. Safety must always come first when conditions do not allow us to operate the full itinerary. We are glad you were still able to visit the Blue Lagoon and that you had a great experience there.
It was fantastic, so much to see and take in . I expected the views to be stunning but nothing quite prepares you for real life. Joseph our guide was great. He was very knowledgeable but also very humorous. Also, if you were thinking of skipping Blue Lagoon, don’t, definitely an experience of a life time
