Great tour and a great break! - We really enjoyed the tour, and having a break in the middle to chill out (warm out?!) was great. Both tour guides we had were knowledgeable and friendly, though we really loved Stephan. The stops all delivered on the beauty of Iceland!

Great - Love the tour. And Roman our driver is very personable and really nice. Very recommended and love the falls and golden circle

Fun!!! - Darren our Tour Guide and Helgi our driver really made our tour special. He was fun and entertaining while still taking their job seriously. They made sure everyone had a spectacular time while keeping us on schedule in a friendly and professional manner.

Golden circle gold star experience - Really nice tour, the drivers and guides were very informative. We really enjoyed our experience with the help of the Grayline folks.

Beautiful scenery and fun trip - It all starts with the bus picking you up at your bus stop (if downtown) or hotel. Then transferring you to a central bus stop, where you literally just walk through the building and out the other side where a series of busses are parked with destination placards in the window. After getting in the correct bus, a big bus, off you go. Our driver and guide were very nice and informative. Excellent English. The guide hit the right balance of information, with breaks of silence so it wasn’t nonstop chatter. The driver recommended a nice hot chocolate at the right spot, which was delicious. The double falls were incredible and probably my favorite. Also a nice unscheduled stop to see some Icelandic horses. Beautiful, with interesting background on these pure breds which can stay outside year round. Interesting. I am not a spa person particularly, but was looking forward to the opportunity to soak in the geothermal pools. This was a nice way to end the day. A little less time at each of the other sites, which did not feel rushed, and then a good soak at the end. Nice. I also did the plunge into the lake, which was a very quick immersion. The cooking of the rye bread, which seemed a little touristy, was actually fun. I got some great video of the sands boiling and baking the bread. Our “baker” was dressed as a pirate because it was the equivalent of Halloween. A must do trip if in Iceland and a very efficient way to see some great and beautiful sites, free of the hassles of driving and parking.

Good tour - Booked this last minute since blue lagoon was closed due to volcano activity. But it was a good alternative. Still got to see the sites of golden circle. Guides were very informative. The Fontana baths were nice and relaxing and more than likely way less crowded than blue lagoon would have been. Only thing, I wish it was the last thing we did because it’s hard to keep touring after getting so relaxed. I started with one bus group, was dropped off to do the baths for a couple hours then picked up by a different group to continue the tour. The transfers and swaps were all on time and coordinated well just would’ve been nice to end with the baths.

Laugarvatn Fontana - Because I chose the Laugarvatn Fontana tour I experienced 2 buses and guides. They were both very knowledgeable about Iceland's history and geological importance. The guides were very accommodating. Unfortunately the return of the tour was delayed by about 2 hours when our bus was required to make extra stops to pick up people. It was a very long day.

Don't go with Gray Line - Bad start! GRAY LINE IS RUBBISH! Time change, NO Fontana pool! Bus didn't come. Time change again. Still NO pool! Golden Circle part was nice.

Awful grey line experience (Fontana was good) - Sadly this trip was probably the worst tour I’ve ever taken. From the morning with the driver who picked us up was miserable, not welcoming at all. We then had to switch from a minibus to a coach which is not unusual and not a problem. However next we did a small part of the tour and then had to go to Fontana spa which we expected to do on way home not at start of day, so we were the only ones disembarking the coach and no warning. Wasn’t told if we needed to get lunch at the spa or wait for next stop to the Geysirs . On way back it was even worse as we were two hours later back than expected, as grey lines had agreed to merge another tour with ours and join our coach so we had to sit for 90 min waiting, no refreshments provided or toilets available, we’d risen sensible toilet breaks and refreshments based on expected time to return. No tour company ever should force other paying customers to sit and wait for another tour group to join, my youngest nephew was forced to wait for the toilet for over 3hrs and was in agony by the time we got back to the city. He almost wet himself which would’ve been humiliating and lot of his making!!! I was disgusted by lack of compassion or thought for passengers, the other group only needed to join ours due to a broken down vehicle. Tour company could’ve sent a replacement vehicle to them and let us maintain our original schedule. We also missed our dinner reservation as we had another tours booked at 9pm, so we missed out on another experience in Iceland due to the tour operator. Fontana spa was a nice refreshing spa without hustle and bustle of somewhere like blue lagoon which is too busy and commercial. Fontana was clean, easy to use and relaxing.

Don’t take this bus ttip - The trip was awful. Short stops. Little restaurant for lunch was crowded. The guide was okay but not much information. Not good for travelers looking for a good experience.
