Great tour, great weather and Kamikaze sheep..... - This was a superb day trip. We were lucky with the weather with spectacular views abounding. We were also lucky enough to get the trip in the 'overflow' minibus with Dylan as our driver and guide. Only 13 passengers, we struck lucky. A good amount of time at each destination, a brilliant commentary all the way. We learnt so much from Dylan. Including a drivers warning to beware of the Icelandic Kamikaze sheep. We also followed his Everton flag at each destination for a personalised mini walking guide at the start of each visit. That was nice. The tour was exceptional, highly recommended. One note, it was not clear in the details but lunch is not provided. But food and drink (and time) available at three of the stops. Well done Dylan. We had fun.

Would do it again! - My boyfriend and I had a fantastic time! The sites were STUNNING and our Tour Guide, Dylan, gave us tons of information for each site and about Iceland as a whole. Our Driver, Fúsi, got us to each destination safely. We loved our tour!

Excellent Afternoon - I have been on the Golden Circle tour many times, both with Reykjavik Adventures and their competitors. This is an amazing tour, covering many hotspots close to the capital region. In addition to the amazing natural and historical features, I love the availability of bathrooms, food, and shopping! Dylan was our guide on this trip and I can confidently say that he was the best guide I have had. He did a great job blending historical, geographical, and cultural insights in his narration.

Amazing tour in Reykjavik - The tour was wonderful. We would recommend it. Our guide Gerda and driver Maggi are fantastic with great enthusiasm and knowledge of this beautiful area/country. We didn’t have much time in Reykjavik and this is the best way to see some of the great views of the area. We would love to visit again.

Golden Circle - We did the Golden Circle short tour, 6.5 hours. It was first class. Our tour guide Byarney (?) is a retired Professor of Finance and Accounting but is extremely knowledgeable about Iceland's heritage and culture. Cannot recommend this highly enough :)

Well worth it! - Incredible trip to take as an alternative for having no car. I felt that we got to see a lot of the golden circle in good time. The friðheimar greenhouse was beautiful and even got recommended to me by my icelandic friend so its definitely worth choosing along the golden circle. The guide — Leifur — was knowledgable and a lovely person, im glad he was our guide on this trip!
