Fantastic Golden Circle Day Trip
Our wonderful guide Rachel made our day educational, fun, relaxing and fantastical. We packed so much in, but never felt rushed. With the slightly later departure time than most tours, we avoided most of the congestion of the bigger tour buses. Comfortable minibus transported us around hitting the major sites and culminated in a hot spring soak, which is the antithesis of The Blue Lagoon. Tak fyrir, Rachel!

Absolutely recommendable
It was great! We were a very small group (with guide 5), so we visited even smaller spots and learned great stories! Unfortunately, the bridge at Kirkjufellfoss is currently closed, which prevented us from seeing it. But still it was really great! It really felt very private and local.

An unusually nice excursion!
Very nice tour with nice nature experiences. Our guide Rachel took care of us in the very best way and spoiled us with some nice extra stops, good bread and a lot of fairy tales and stories from Iceland!

Amazing - Beautiful scenery, the best guide and driver
WONDERFUL experience. All places visited where stunning, but what made the trip so perfect was our guide Gummi. All throughout the day he told us stories and information from the places we were at the moment, informative but fun and entertaining. I would recommend to bring snacks and lunch/dinner packed: there are many tasty and different options all day around (the food trucks at glacier lagoon and restaurants at Vik where great) but it can get expensive. Some notes from what I saw other people comment:Icelandic culture can feel a bit cold from some of us visiting, but coming from a latin country with customs very different from theirs, I can assure you that Gummi was always respectful and had a great attitude all trip. We asked a lot of questions and he always had even more information than what we would expect. He knows a lot about the country and area visited, you can tell how much he cares about it which makes all of it even more enjoyable.I arrived 2 minutes late to the pick-up location: it was raining, the closest bus stop I could find as an option was 700m away and I even took the wrong turn on a street... When I got to the bus I mentioned this and all was good! No unprofessional comment, no rudeness. There were several stops all day long with bathrooms and places to buy food, and if somebody needed an extra stop for a bathroom break (which happened) it was also done. Overall I would absolutely repeat this tour and I'm glad I found it, it was one of the highlights of my trip!

Just a perfect day
If you are on a short stay and need one single tour to give you a taste of Iceland this is the tour for you.Our Guide (Rakel) was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and full of great tales. She will be remembered as a very important part of our day.The itinerary is well balanced without too much travelling and the times at the attractions are good as long as you can walk quickly. The day is finished off perfectly at the Secret Lagoon which is just wonderful but I should have got a beer.

Rakel was a great guide and the tour was really fun, giving just enough time in each location to experience it. We really enjoyed the waterfall and secret lagoon especially - so relaxing

Great Excursion Directly from the Cruise Terminal
Thanks for picking us at our cruise terminal. It was quite convenient to meet there.Odin was our tour guide and he was quite informative and accommodating. We saw everything promised and more. There was sufficient time to walk around and see everything at the Geysir, Gullfoss Falls, National Park, and time for a lunch break. He even stopped at an ice cream place and in Reykjavik we had time go inside the Hallgrímskirkja church.
Fabulous Tour
We had "Gummy" as our guide. He was outstanding! Iceland is one amazing country with one memorable site after another. The Falls, the geysers, the topography all of it left us with a desire to return and continue exploring this beautiful country. The van was comfortable and our guide was a wealth of knowledge.

Great tour and guide
We took the tour on Aug 18, 2025.We visited quite some scenic and interesting places. Our driver/guide (I can’t remember the exact spelling but I think it is Rackel) is very good. She presented some of the information with power point slides and sometimes photos. A picture is worth a thousand words. She gave us in depth information of the area, history, culture, etc.She took us to the village, Grindavik, where the residence needed to be evacuated due to the volcano disruption. We get some idea the degree of devastation that have caused.She took us to a restaurant and recommended the baked fresh fish. That day, it was cod. I have never had cod that was so good.The van is the most comfortable of all the trips I took in Iceland.I would definitely recommend this tour.For a couple of stops, it would be perfect if more time was allowed, like the geothermal area Krysuvik.

Stunning
It was a beautiful trip and our guide Gummi told interesting stories about Iceland's history and its inhabitants during the trip. Even when we decided to go out to dinner as a group, Gummi was friendly and waited for us. They were very nice spots and it was quite personal as we had a bus to 6. I would recommend the tour to anyone!
