Must do tour
Had a wonderful time, our tour guide Darren was great and made it an even nicer experience! We did this tour in 2023 and again this year and will do it again if we visit Iceland again.

A perfectly organized visit
Organization, visits and perfect timing; experienced driver , knowledgeable guide, friendly and helpful. We have nothing more to add except that it was a 'beautiful hike.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!
We only had two days in Reykjavic after a Viking cruise, and we chose to book the Golden Circle and Secret Lagoon tour with Reykjavik Sightseeing. We booked in April for the June tour. We received an email at the end of April asking how our trip was. When we replied that we hadn't done it yet, and that we had booked a trip for JUNE, we thought we had plenty of time to fix that. However, no one replied, either by email or phone call, so we just hoped we could fix it when we arrived. Despite advertising a 24/7 phone line, our dozens of calls went unanswered. No one picks up the phone. Ever. We tried in the morning, night, afternoon...nothing. We tried emailing numerous times: nothing. We had seen good reviews when we booked, but I wonder if they've changed ownership or something since April? It certainly was awful because we never got to go on the tour. We will be trying to recover the money paid for the tour via our credit card company, but it's extremely disappointing when a tour company can't even bother to respond over two months. PLEASE LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR YOUR TOURS.

Booked a tour through “get your guide” for the golden circle and sky lagoon.
I apologise for not remembering the guides name but I feel I learned so much about Iceland and the places we were visiting.
We were picked up on time at a designated place and taken to the main hub and then put on to separate buses. If we were staying longer we would have booked more through them.
Hi Jay, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 5-star review. We're so glad to hear that you were satisfied with our Golden Circle and Sky Lagoon tour. Our team is committed to delivering high-quality service, and your feedback is a great encouragement to us. We look forward to serving you again!
Best regards,

Very disappointing
I am very disappointed as I went on the Golden Circle day trip on Monday 12th May & only completed half a day due to an issue on the day. I spoke to the Revkavik Sightseeing office in person on the day who said he would pass the information on. I followed this up with an email & was told I would get a reply within 2 weeks. No reply received yet so I wrote again and a reply they would look into it to which I am still waiting. Whilst visiting the Blue Lagoon was excellent my complaint is the tour was NOT completed.

Fantastic Tour with Great Guide and Comfort!
The Golden Circle experience was absolutely perfect! I truly enjoyed every part of the tour. Our guide did an amazing job narrating throughout the journey, sharing fascinating facts, stories, and local insights, while also giving us helpful recommendations along the way. It made the whole experience even more memorable and engaging.The bus was also very clean and comfortable, which made the travel between stops pleasant and relaxing.I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland, and I’d definitely consider doing it again. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Amazing day. Golden Circle tour with our guide Rosa. She was amazing, so so so much interesting information, she talked all day and it was fascinating. The tour was our highlight on a 4 day trip. Bus arrived on time and was organised really well. In Iceland all the tours do clearly say pick up at a time but be there half hour before and you have to be as most tours, buses and taxi arrive early or at the earliest time given. Highly recommend!

Vorrei semplicemente avvisare i futuri viaggiatori di non appoggiarsi a questo tour, in quanto dalla nostra personale esperienza e successive comunicazioni con la stessa, la loro professionalità e correttezza è uguale a zero. Abbiamo semplicemente prenotato e pagato anticipatamente, un Tour per l'aurora boreale con richiesta di avere, come l'oro pubblicizzano, delle cuffiette con la traduzione in Italiano, per iniziare abbiamo avuto un'attesa del mezzo che avrebbe dovuto portarci al tour di oltre mezz'ora, ma può succedere, non ci è stata fornita nessuna traduzione che ci avrebbe dovuto accompagnare durante il tour, e ciliegina sulla torta alla prima fermata dopo solo 15 / 20 minuti di strada, alle porte di Reykjavik su una stradina accanto alla statale, l'autobus partendo per continuare il tour, sbagliando la manovra è uscito di strada bloccandosi, ci hanno lasciato per quasi un'ora al freddo aspettando l'autobus sostitutivo, autobus che invece di continuare il tour, che doveva durare 3 ore, ci ha riportati al parcheggio finendo così questo fantomatico tour. Alla richiesta di un giustificato rimborso, ci hanno risposto negativamente giustificando che l'aurora c'era e che l'accompagnatore la vista, quindi il tour era riuscito. Quindi a mio giudizio professionalità inesistente, e leggendo altre recensioni sul altri blog ho constatato che questa azienda è portata spesso a comportamenti poco professionali e attenti verso i turisti. EVITATELA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would simply like to warn future travellers not to rely on this tour, as from our personal experience and subsequent communications with them, their professionalism and correctness is zero. We simply booked and paid in advance, a Northern Lights Tour with a request to have, as they advertise, headphones with Italian translation, to begin with we had a wait for the vehicle that was supposed to take us to the tour of over half an hour, but it can happen, we were not provided with any translation that should have accompanied us during the tour, and the icing on the cake at the first stop after only 15 / 20 minutes of road, at the gates of Reykjavik on a small road next to the main road, the bus leaving to continue the tour, making a wrong manoeuvre, went off the road and got stuck, they left us for almost an hour in the cold waiting for the replacement bus, a bus that instead of continuing the tour, which was supposed to last 3 hours, took us back to the parking lot thus ending this phantom tour. When we asked for a justified refund, they responded negatively justifying that the aurora was there and that the guide saw it, therefore the tour was successful. So in my opinion non-existent professionalism, and reading other reviews on other blogs I have found that this company is often led to unprofessional and uncaring behavior towards tourists. AVOID IT
Dear Gianni,
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback — we’re truly sorry to hear about the challenges you faced during your Northern Lights tour.
We regret the delay at the start, the absence of the promised Italian audio translation, and the unfortunate situation with the bus. We understand how disappointing it must have been, especially when the tour was cut short and didn’t live up to expectations.
While the guide did confirm a sighting of the aurora, we also recognize that the overall experience matters greatly. That said, we do believe our operations team did their best to manage the situation under difficult and unforeseen circumstances, including arranging a replacement bus and prioritizing guest safety.
We understand your frustration and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. Your feedback has been shared with our team and partners to help ensure improvements are made. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
Best,
Reykjavik Sightseeing

A Combo Must Do Tour Covering Golden Circle and Northern Lights
This bus tour operated by Reykjavik sightseeing covers 1. Pingvellir national park (45 minutes-1 hour stop) where you get see the shifting North American and Eurasian Tectonic plates, the site of the oldest parliament and a small water fall 2. Geyser Hot spring area (1 hour) where you can see the Srokkur geyser spouting a 30-35 meter high plume of water and steam every 6-10 Minutes.3. Extremely beautiful Gullfoss waterfall.The Northern Lights part of our tour got cancelled on the day we did the Golden circle tour - they will reschedule you to the next day or any day convenient to you for doing the Northern Lights free of cost. Since Northern Lights part of the tour has a high probability of getting cancelled due to weather conditions, it is preferable that you do this tour on the first day or at your earliest day of your trip so that you get more chances to reschedule and see the Northern lights.The buses were comfortable , had free wifi and the accompanying guides would give you detailed information on the history , geography and culture of Iceland in addition to the information about the sights you are covering as part of the tour. In particular we were quite impressed by the detailed scientific explanation of the Northern Lights phenomenon given to us by the aged guide (sorry -could not get his name) in very simple easy to understandable manner. The stop durations are Ok -we would say the time is just about sufficient in the first stop at Pingvellir national park . For the Northern lights tour which starts at around 2100 , dress appropriately since you will be out braving strong, cold winds at the sea near a lighthouse (Grotta Lighthouse) till around midnight. The tour reporting location is Bus Hostel about 20minutes walk from downtown Reykjavik - you can also opt for hotel pick ups at additional costs. You can book through tour consolidators like Get Your Guide for a better discounted rate .

AVOID @reykjaviksightseeing AT ALL COSTS
AVOID @reykjaviksightseeing AT ALL COSTSOne of the worst tour experiences we’ve had in Iceland.We booked the Golden Circle + Sky Lagoon combo (3 people), expecting a smooth, time-efficient day. The Golden Circle part was fine — but after that, it completely fell apart.Dropped off at their terminal just before 3 PM, we were told our Sky Lagoon transfer would be “a few minutes.” After 20+ mins waiting, we asked — only to find out the pickup wasn’t until 4 PM. Our booking clearly said 30 minutes max.We called their office and were met with the most unhelpful, dismissive rep who wouldn’t even give us his name. No apology. No solution. Just “wait.”What could they have done? • Stuck to the schedule they sold us. • Dropped us at Sky Lagoon — it’s literally a 9-minute drive, and there were just 5 people left on the bus. • At least told us in advance so we could plan or grab food.Instead? We wasted an hour of our trip sitting around because they couldn’t be bothered to communicate or care.Do better, @reykjaviksightseeing.We won’t be booking again — and we’re warning others not to either.#IcelandTravel #ReykjavikSightseeing #TravelFail #GoldenCircle #SkyLagoon #DoBetter

Felt rushed and not the length advertised
The whole tour was very rushed with not enough time for any of the sites. I literally had to run to see every one, with no time for buying lunch. I think that was because we had to pick up an earlier group from the secret lagoon. We were back in 7 hours, not the 7.5 as advertised. What a shame to travel all the way and not be able to see each place properly as they were all amazing. They should have a longer tour with an extra 30 mins at each stop. Grayline and Reykjavik sightseeing are the same tour.

❤️ Sola, Vale/ Valgate
Job well done by Sola/ guide, Vale (driver). Hosts on South Coast Iceland day trip from Reykjavik on 7 April 2025. Sola was rich with knowledge on topics relating to Iceland including geography, geology, wildlife, natural history, culture, weather, and more.Sola spoke almost endlessly, convincingly almost from start to end, and sounded like a no nonsense university professor. We learnt so much about Iceland from Sola.Vale/ Valgate was coolest driver to me. Not only was Vale pleasant, calm, sweet natured in the way he communicated with Sola (I had front seat across from Vale), his driving skills were superb and they were clearly shown when he drove steadily and safely through the thick fog on our way back. Best tour company out of four tour activities taken.Thank you, Sola, Vale.
