Me and my grandma really enjoyed the trip, Gudjon and Jes Salty were such good entertainment and are very dedicated to their job which shows, they teach you all about the history of iceland and even making funny comments and are great to ask questions. I would definitely go on this trip again
This was an incredible excursion, our tour guide and driver ( Gudjon Jes and Salty) were exceptional in their roles, the weather was wet windy and we never noticed it while we were driving, and tour guide was knowledgeable and interactive and genuinely 5star
Genuinely one of the best tours I have been on! Blazej was a brilliant driver who got us to and from every stop smoothly, and Ritchie was a fantastic guide throughout. The tour had so many great facts about Iceland, geology, geography, music, arts and culture. I really enjoyed all the information and really appreciated Ritchie's expertise and friendly personality. The sign identifying what time we needed to be back by and how long the stop is was really helpful as it meant there was a physical signifier of what time to be back by.
Brilliant. Ritchie, the tour guide, was so informative and helpful. The sights were so impressive and the tour was well put together with lots of interesting facts through the journey.
This tour was amazing! Very informational and fun. The sights were amazing and Ritchie Rich was the life of the party. Would definitely recommend this to any group or solo traveler.
An absolute must. Our tour guide Kristian was so kind, insightful, and kept the overall experience engaging and entertaining for such a lengthy (and stunningly scenic) tour. The time flew by yet we never felt rushed and always safely transported by our driver Bjórn. Also want to highlight and shout out our guides singing skills of the famous Icelandic raven children's rhyme and folk song "Krummi krunkar úti"!
Amazing experience. Unnar and Pawel were great. Really enjoyed Geysir and Gullfoss. Highly recommend this tour.
The planned circuit stops were excellent. LEIFUR was our guide, and he was amazing, provided knowledge of the attractions and history of Iceland and the areas we visited. Leifur made this trip the best guided tour I have taken.
This was an incredible trip, will totally recommend for anyone visiting Iceland as it covers the Great Geysir. Super value for money and our guide Leifur was very well informed.
Leifur took great care of us and entertained us throughout the trip. Amazing scenery.
Great trip to see 3 big sights with interesting history and facts along the way. Leifur was lovely!
We just completed the Golden Circle tour, quite honestly, the best part of the tour is our guide. She is very thorough and has a really strong knowledge. As for the tour itself, we found it to be the most touristy. The first stop was the tectonic plates which I found to be the most interesting. The geyser was anticlimactic and the falls were nice but not really special. In our opinion the other tours that we did such as South Coast, The Northern Lights and ATV’s were far better.
Beautiful tour. Would recommend to anyone. So informative!
Excellent way to see the most important sites of the Golden Circle. Perfect amount of time at each stop. Communicative and informative without being boring.
Our guide was knowledgable and funny with great stops and chance to see some fantastic sights across Iceland
The trip was really nice and I really enjoyed it. I went alone and it was very comfortable and easy! The duration for each location was good enough to see the view. Overall this tour, bus driver and the guide were all good, I would definitely recommend it.
It was excellent all around. Our driver and guide, Tomasz and Kristian (respectively) were lovely and informative. The views and the experience make it well worth it.
Family & I had an amazing trip doing the golden circle
Well done to Kristian, the tour guide, and Tomas, the driver of our Golden Circle tour. It was a smooth tour and well-planned.
We had a great time on this tour — just enough time to walk around and see the spots/take some pictures, but still get your evening in Reykjavik. Kristian and Bjorn were a great tour guide and driver — very knowledgeable. We had a small snafu where our initial transfer to BSI was a little delayed so we started a little after our stated departure time, but we made up the time and still had plenty of time at each stop. Would recommend for an efficient tour of some beautiful sites!
Excellent! Kristov was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and bjork was our driver. Felt safe and we were always on time
Had a fabulous day Kristin was an excellent tour guide giving us lots of great information throughout the tour - kept it really interesting Just note that you need to be ready at pick up point upto 40 mims BEFORE the pick up time (where as other trips ask you to wait upto 30mins after stated time) .
Had a great time on this tour! Overall very nice and quick, felt like I had enough time for every place! No complaints at all :)
Lasma is an excellent guide providing lots of interesting information about Iceland and the history of each Golden Circle tour stop, as well as the surrounding areas. Despite a very wet start, each stop was spectacular and long enough to take photos and explore. I highly recommended this tour which is compact but ideal if you have time limits.
Perfect day from start to finish Our guide Lasma was very helpful and give us all the nformation about the golden circle tour highly recommend
Excellent experience. Lasma is an excellent guide and driver. She is very experienced and gave us lots of information. Highly recommend.
Pick up was unclear a bus parked in the bay in the rain but didn’t make it clear to the people waiting it was for our trip.
Lasma was a great tour guide. She explained all spots and scenery well. Thanks
Had an amazing day with Lasma! She was so knowledgeable and helpful. Thankyou so much for an unforgettable experience
Dori is a very good driver & tour guide. Very knowledgeable! Great job Dori!
Had beautiful weather and tour guide Dori was very accommodating
Dori was an excellent tour guide and driver. He made the driving part interesting.
My top advice is if it says to get there for 7.30 that you do. We were on time last night for a tour and then waited for quite a while so we thought we'd be ok being 10 minutes later but we weren't. Luckily we got onto the 10am tour with Monika and Anna and I'm glad we did. We got to go to the national park, the great Geysir and Gullfoss waterfall. All amazing but made so much better by our friendly, informative and funny host Monika and the great safe driving from Anna. Thank you for helping to turn a potentially bad day into an amazing one! We had the best weather too!
Monika & Ananana were very good, very funny.
Wonderful experience. Thank you Monika and Anna for making it so special.
Had a lovely and well-informed day being driven and guided by Elly, time limits were easy enough to fit most of what you'd want to do in, some times with enough to spare. Elly also opted to be a little more quiet on the way back to drop-off so people who were tired or jet-lagged could have a nap or some quiet time.
Very good half day tour with Elly.
Amazing tour such a comfortable journey and so much to see! Elly our guide was amazing! Made the journey so interesting. As a Geography teacher I was so impressed by the content!
We had a fantastic day exploring Iceland's Golden Circle with Ritchie and Salty! Ritchie was an outstanding guide: friendly, knowledgeable, funny and genuinely helpful. He brought Iceland's history, geology and culture to life without making it feel like a school excursion (although our seven-year-old probably learnt more than she realised!). A special mention for the Icelandic music! I absolutely loved it, particularly the neoclassical pieces. There's something about driving through Iceland's dramatic, almost otherworldly landscapes with that music playing that just feels right. Honestly, they could probably sell the bus playlist as a separate excursion! Salty, our driver, was equally brilliant. Smooth, safe driving and always happy to help. Given Iceland's unpredictable weather, rugged landscape and the fact that his name was Salty, we felt remarkably safe in his hands! We travelled with our two daughters, aged seven and just one, which can turn even the simplest outing into something resembling a military operation with considerably less discipline. Both Ritchie and Salty were patient, accommodating and genuinely lovely with our family, making the whole day that much more enjoyable. The Golden Circle itself was spectacular, but it's the people who can turn a great sightseeing trip into a memorable experience. Five stars from all four of us, including the one-year-old, who is notoriously difficult to impress and has a very loud complaints department! Thanks, Ritchie and Salty, for a wonderful day. Highly recommended!
Eric was such a pleasure to be around and full of knowledge
Great time loved the guide he was very informative
We had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Golden Circle tour! The scenery was breathtaking, and the whole day was made even better by our brilliant tour guide, Richie, and our driver, Salty. Richie was excellent from start to finish – really knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. He shared some fascinating facts and stories about Iceland and made the whole experience enjoyable. A massive thank you to Salty as well for his excellent driving and making sure we had a comfortable and safe journey throughout the day. Both Richie and Salty were fantastic and really made the trip special. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to show us around Iceland. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland. Definitely one of the highlights of our holiday!
A great day out with coach Rosa Marie and driver Maggi. Well paced and spaced out between the sights (National Park, Geysir hot springs and the Gull Goss waterfall, all with spectacular views. Our guide was knowledgeable friendly and funny and there were facilities (food, drinks and restrooms) at each stop so all very comfortable. A really good introduction to the sights of Iceland!
Rosamaria and Maggi were excellent hosts and guides. We were touring with 3 young children and we couldn’t have felt more welcome (even when one child was travel sick)! The knowledge, experience and kind nature of both staff members was outstanding and we felt so lucky to have had both Maggi and Rosa Maria with us to experience the golden circle sights.
An amazing tour to all of the highlight of this amazing island. The guide, Rosa Maria was fantastic, so passionate about her country and so knowledgeable. The driver, Maggi, was brilliant.
Great tour! Easy pickup, nice bus. Sights were beautiful and good value for the money. Tour guide Rosa Maria was wonderful she went above and beyond to help me with a personal need. Driver Maggi was great
We had such a lovely time on the Golden Circle Tour! Our guide, Rosa Marie, was amazing and made the whole experience so enjoyable. She was friendly, welcoming, and shared lots of interesting information along the way. You could really tell she wanted everyone to have a great time. A big thank you to our bus driver, Maggi R, too, for getting us around safely and making the journey comfortable. Both Rosa Marie and Maggi R were wonderful, and they really made the day extra special. We got to enjoy the beautiful sights of Iceland while having a fun and memorable experience. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland! Thank you both for such a great day. 😊
