Great Tour - Great tour, very reasonable price, infact the best tour I have had on 6 cruises. Other than lunch being included on P&O Aurora - at £120 cheaper made it good value.

Incredible experience of Iceland. - The staff especially our Tour Guide (Asa) was very friendly and knowledgeable. The places we visited, waterfall, geyzer, the lake on a crater of an active volcano was an incredible experience.

A good way to enjoy the Golden Circle - The tour had more participants than I expected but it was well organized and went relatively smoothly. The bus was comfortable, and it was good to have WiFi. My only complaint is that two participants were late returning at every stop, and I think the guide should have reprimanded them. Other than that, the guide (Thor) was informative and provided good commentary to break up the drive between destinations. Overall a good experience.

Best guide ever! - We think it is worth 5 stars. Driver Chris drove well and our stuff was safe on the bus when we were away. The bus was very luxurious, good reclining seats. Vic, is a fantastic Guide. So enthusiastic and knows a lot to tell and in such a visual way that you see her story as a kind of fairy tale. She's very funny. She'll be able to be a comedian like that. What a quality she has! She should be proud of herself. Top girl! She took the day to the next level and gave us more than we expected. The places we stopped were also beautiful, Geysir, Kerid crater, Gulfoss waterfalls and Pingvallir. Everything really fantastic, even with the bad weather we had. Highly recommended and the price is also good, you get value for money.

Awesome way to experience Iceland’s Golden Circle sights - I went on the Golden Circle day tour out of Reykjavík, Iceland, with a group of friends.
We each booked our own ticket for the day, and when we were being picked up we realized there were a few buses that leave daily and we had been split up. We explained to our tour guide, Daniel, that we’d love to experience the day together, and he quickly solved it and got us all together on his bus.
Off we went for one of the best tours I’ve ever done - and I am a flight attendant, so I’ve done a few! It was well paced, beautiful and comfortable. Daniel was very knowledgeable about Iceland and friendly to speak to.
We had opportunities to capture great photos, do some shopping, find something to eat and plenty of bathroom breaks.
The driver, August, kept us safe and comfortable on the road.
It was an all-around fantastic way to spend a day taking in some of the best parts of Iceland. I highly recommend this trip!
Thanks for the memories!!!

Unsafe bus and express tour - The tour overall were fine, but one area was dissapointing and another was unacceptabel. The stops were all very good, but very little time was available. The tour should be called express or similar or one stop should be skipped. The unacceptable area was the door on the bus did broke and could not close. Of course things can break and then it can be repaired or we need to wait on a replacement bus. But to continue with a bus where the front door cannot close and has a gap of 5 cm and wind blowing in is totally unacceptabel and dangerous.
