Back To Iceland - tour company to use. - As first time travellers to Iceland we did our research and decided to book our tours with back to Iceland. I would highly recommend. We were fortunate to have the same guide Antony on both occasions. He was fantastic. His local knowledge and humour was amazing. I would suggest you choose the tours with smaller numbers. At various locations we met coach load of tourists and ours appeared more of a smooth tour. The golden circle tour was amazing, the waterfall in winter was stunning! Crampon use is a must and are provided by your guide. People have questioned whether the blue lagoon is a tourist trap (of course) but one you must do. Thank you BTI and especially Anton

My revue of Matthew: - I loved the trip everything about it was superb, the snow, the lights, the timing but most importantly was our wonderful and knowledgeable guide Matthew, and also his friend Loucash I guess, Matthew's facts and knowledge on the local area, history, cuisine and more was quite the experience his perfect clear speak and enthusiasm helped us to be inclusive to everyone from all walks of life. Matthew was kind, helpful, patient, inquisitive and generally thought that his job was the best in the world, and all though I a mere mortal am not sure if this is true I can tell you as a fact that Matthew is the best tour guide in the whole wide world. His relationship with the driver was quite prominent throughout the whole trip he wanted us to have the most enjoyable experience possible, There was no dull moment with those two everyone was like a movie, (the best movie ever.) The best part for me was the bit at the end where thanks to Matthew's planning skills we got to feed some Icelandic "horses". I would most definitely go again just for those two alone!

Golden circle private tour - My fiancé and I had a private golden circle tour. Our tour guide Antan was wonderful. As he was driving us he was giving us facts about the places we were passing and more information about the places we were visiting. He made sure we were comfortable the whole time and made the experience amazing.

Golden Circle fun with Anton - Anton was a wonderful guide and we loved his stories and dad jokes. We had an amazing time and definitely this tour made us want to come back to Iceland to do and see more. The stops for food were perfect too!

Beautiful Iceland Trip - We enjoyed the tour and places visited, but above the wonders of Iceland, our driver and tour guide, ANTON, made the difference with his cheerful personality and great customer service. He also helped us to arranged last minute transportation with the company by calling the manager, because we wanted to visit a hot spring after our Blue Lagoon booking was canceled and other places were fully booked due to volcano eruption. Our trip to Iceland was then complete 🙌 thanks again, Anton.

Informative and amazing! - Our driver Anton was extremely punctual and very informative. He provided us with crampons for our safety and was so polite and helpful throughout the day. He made the whole experience amazing and the communication and instructions from the company was excellent. I would definitely recommend the company for your Iceland tours. Top driver - Top company.

Great experience, beautiful nature - We had a great experience. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The minibus was clean and comfortable. We got safely and comfortably to all the tour's locations and had a good amount of time in each spot. Every stop was so beautiful! Even just looking out the window while driving was enough for incredible views. We really enjoyed the tour and felt like we got to see a lot of beautiful nature that we couldn't otherwise have accessed (since we were not in a position to rent a car). If we come back we will definitely book a tour with Back To Iceland again!

Golden Circle tour was worth it - The waterfall stops were breathtaking. Tomas gave us a great individual tour as other people canceled when their ship couldn't make port. He added one or two stops...fairly long day but Tomas kept it well paced.

Take this Golden Circle Tour! - We just got back from our second trip to Iceland this fall which actually inspired me to write a review for our experience last year with BTI on our Golden Circle tour. We used a different company to take a Golden Circle tour this year and it was not nearly as good! You get to see the most variety on this tour of any Golden Circle tour I've seen, many only include Geysir, Thingvellir and Gullfoss but the Kerid Crater was one of our favorite parts! It feels like there's endless options for Golden Circle tours, but can say with great confidence you will love this route with Back to Iceland!

BTI - you do want to use them! - There are many agencies that offer this tour - we decided on BTI based on Trip Advisor’s reviews - and we could have not been happier! Anton is truly an amazing guide, knowledgable, personable and so accommodating! Excellent and lively commentaries. Got to learn so much about Iceland! Definitely ready to get Back to Iceland again!
