Thank you Dylan: Best day in Iceland - This Golden Circle+Fontana tour was amazing and was by far our best day in Iceland! And our guide Dylan is not to blame! We loved listening to all his stories and anecdotes throughout the excursion! We learned more about the country (its peculiarities, its traditions,...), the places of our visits and we laughed! The bus trip was a snap, but it was objectively rather long.Moreover, you could see that this guide was doing his best to make our experience as beautiful as possible (taking a different road route to and from so that we could see new landscapes, going around the place of interest with the group while commenting and listening to our questions [it doesn't sound like anything for a guide but some don't even get off the bus for stopovers...], making sure that our bus was clean, that the heating wasn't too strong and that we don't forget our seat belt (click click 😉) [again, some guides don't make the effort], taking a break in a park while waiting for the sun to rise over the Golden Circle, ...). That was great, thanks Dylan! ❤️

Great Circle and Fontana Wellness tour with Dylan. - We had a great time seeing the sights on the Great Circle and enjoying the relaxing hot tubs at Fontana Wellness. Though the weather was quite cold and windy our driver/guide Dylan did an excellent drive keeping us safe during some challenging road conditions with snow and ice. We really enjoyed listening to him tell us about Iceland and all the sights we were seeing. We will definitely recommend this tour to all of our friends.

Golden circle and geysers - Our guide, Siggi, was great - very informative. We saw Gullfoss, geysers, and enjoyed the Fontana wellness spa where we saw how they made rye bread by burying the dough in the hot sands around the geothermal pools

Gorgeous sites, great tour guide and good for kids! - It was a long day but the bus trips between each location gave you a chance to warm up, there were also cafes and gift shops at each stop so you didn’t have to be out in the cold if you didn’t want to! Recommend bringing drinks and snacks with you! We took our 6 year old boy and he really enjoyed it too, there wasn’t too much walking and he loved seeing all the sites! Our tour guide Gunnar B made our stop extra special with all his knowledge and he was super friendly and kind! He took some photos for us and made our trip extra special! He even made an extra spontaneous stop when we encountered a beautiful sunrise in the morning, and we got to get off the bus to see the sky! Thank you Gunnar!! 🌟
