An emotion in green Iceland - Ilaria, our guide, moved us by telling us and making us experience Iceland not only from a landscape point of view but also telling us about the customs and traditions of an incredible land. Ilaria was a very prepared, empathetic and very nice guide! The icing on the cake the regenerating bath in the thermal pool! Thank you.

Superb! - A wonderful day spent in the company of Ilaria, our stratospherically good guide, smart and super prepared! Top!! Every single place visited was described in detail by Ilaria with love and passion. There were only two of us and the best thing was the surprise unscheduled! We had the chance to get close to the native horses and be able to pet them ☺️

Beautiful golden circle! - There are people who make a difference and know how to create indelible memories on your holidays. One of these is Ilaria, an exceptional, fun and never predictable guide who, through anecdotes and stories, told us about the disruptive Icelandic nature seasoned with a mixed Viking history and current events. Priceless then the final bath in the Secret Lagoon (see photo). Great availability from the first contact whatsapp, we were accompanied on this tour as if we were old friends. Fundamental was also the small number of participants that allowed a personalized experience and less dispersive than other excursions purchased on a cruise. Trust and rest assured: wherever you go, Elysia Tours will be a truly superlative experience! Thank you again!

Unique experience - Unique experience! There are different ways to embark on a journey; the difference is who you meet and if you find next to you the competence and empathy of our two "friendly guides", Ilaria and Michele, the result is to have gained knowledge of a place out of time, with a magnificently overbearing nature and to be able to count on a new pleasant knowledge. Ilaria and Michele expertly shaped the tour on our characteristics and interests. Thank you!

FA-VO-LO-SO!!! - "Golden Circle" tour with Elysia Tours. Booked through whatsapp contact, already from that moment I saw professionalism and kindness in giving me useful information for the trip that lay ahead. Arrived the day, waiting for us near the port c was Ilaria, our guide. It was FANTASTIC, she guided us along the Golden Circle telling us stories, anecdotes, curiosities and even giving us some "gems" (about all our songs of Sanremo transformed by the Icelanders into Christmas Songs). The path taken is FABULOUS, we see nature release to the nth power. The first stop was the Þingvellir National Park, then the long-awaited Geysir Geothermal Park. The next stop was the majestic Gullfoss Falls and then finally we had a nice geothermal bath. Activity duration 10 hours slightly more- Council Elysia Tours, the beauty of the Golden Circle has been enriched by the sympathy and knowledge of Ilaria. Another important thing that makes you fully enjoy the tour that gives you a sense of "private" is that at most you are in 8 people. For me the marks are full, congratulations (hope to see you soon maybe for a winter tour). Greetings from Tuscany!!! Alessio and Flavia!

Highly recommended - If you plan to visit Iceland, rely on Ilaria and Michele personae exquisite, professional, highly prepared, who will take you around this fascinating country and all to discover. Moreover, for those who are cruise MSC like us, the tours are TOTALLY in Italian unlike those organized by the company Daily excursions for individuals or groups, Ilaria will always suggest the best for a visit as complete and satisfying as possible contact her without hesitation. We were positively amazed by the professionalism, helpfulness and competence of the members of Elysia tours. We did with them 2 tours the Golden Circle, and Reykjavik walking and also arranged me booking tickets for whale watching in Isafjorour. The Tour with Ilaria was simply extraordinary. From day one we felt welcomed, accompanied and involved in an authentic and well-structured experience. Ilaria proved to be a prepared, attentive guide. He was able to create a serene and close-knit atmosphere within the group, taking care of every detail with great professionalism and dedication. It was a magical tour from start to finish...wonderful landscapes and space weather! Thank you very much.
