Great Tour! - Great tour of you’re visiting for a short time and want some highlights! Our guide was very friendly, funny, and informative, and helped us navigate all the tour stops. It was absolutely beautiful! I took this tour the day I arrived and my flight was delayed so it was cut very close. I called the company and they were understanding and offered to allow the bus to wait if needed. We ended up making it right on time, and our bus driver was very friendly and helped us accommodate storage for all of our luggage bags. Great experience overall!!

Golden day around the Circle - Darren, our guide, and Helgi, our driver, were amazing on our jaunt around the Circle. Great anecdotes and history was given were given by Darren, who is an American expat. He also gave us plenty of time to explore the sites ourselves or stayed close by if we had more detailed questions. Helgi was a very smooth driver, especially with all the tourists who were still learning the rules of Icelandic roads. At one stop, he even got a delicious treat for my boys. Would highly recommend the tour.

Picture Perfect Day - Our delightful and knowledgable guide (Karin) made for a great trip
We were really impressed by the geyser!!!
The timing of the stops was perfect including that we always seemed to get everywhere right before 10 other buses pulled up!

Darren's knowledge and... - Darren's knowledge and English were so good and made the tour so much more interesting.
Could have still heard him for hours more to understand the history to Iceland in depth.
The tour was nice with regular stops. The water falls were our favorite.

Nice trip with a great guide - Great guide. Interesting nature to see.
I don’t know why Viator forces me to write more. That would be my only criticism.

A Worthy Outing - In particular, we loved the amazing waterfall that was running at full force which reminded us of Niagara Falls. It was impossible to get as close as we wanted to without getting wet.
Michael, our driver and guide, made our time in the countryside especially memorable. Without his knowledge we couldn’t have appreciated the history of the area and our surroundings. He was natural, friendly and very courteous to everyone.

Love knowledgeable tour guides who goes extra mile! - Very knowledgeable tour guide. Enjoyed the whole day experiencing the tectonic plates, waterfalls and just happen to be there when volcano erupted and she kept us abreast of the happening!

Good tour - The trip was good. We had a good time. Our guide tour was very informative. The drive was not too long. There were three stops and the time that they give you is enough. Of all the excursions we have done, this has been the most touristy. Maybe, because it was the weekend or morepeople are coming to Iceland in July. You would enjoy this trip. There is a stop where they give you an hour to go see the waterfalls as well as there is a restaurant where you can grab something to eat.

Totally bad experice and have no compassion for the eldely who cant walk. Heartless company - They confirmed multiple times by chat & email that they would pick my mum up at a specific place. Because she can't walk.
We arrived extra early to make sure we got there - they did not show up! Had P&O staff call them. After a 20-30 minute wait, they said we had to go to another pickup point (not what we had arranged). They did not even answer other call swe made in the short time window.
I said we could, but it would take time to get there. They agreed and said they would wait - then they said they had already left before the advertised time. They said to go back & book another day.
They almost promised to send a TXT if any issues arose - they did not.
This was the whole reason to book the cruise was for this trip - my 84-year-old mum's for my mother dream holiday was destroyed because of this heartless company
