Private Golden Circle Tour - My wife and I, along with two other couples, recently spent a day visiting the sites on a private Golden Circle tour, operated by Holiday Tours. Our experience was outstanding. The six of us and our guide, Smari, travelled in a comfortable seven seat Mercedes SUV. Smari, was perfect for our group – he was very friendly, very knowledgeable, and a great communicator. From our conversations, Smari suggested a few alterations / additions to the basic itinerary which we had requested after researching some travel sources. His suggestions were spot-on excellent for our group. I will note that Holiday Tours’ rate for our private tour was significantly less that the rates quoted by several other tour operators. While Holiday may not be the first operator that pops up when you start researching options, it would certainly be worth the time to connect with Holiday before finalizing your bookings. In short, our group highly recommends Holiday Tours for an excellent Golden Circle experience.

Iceland is worth a visit - We were a small German group and were fortunate that our tour guide Evo spoke German. He had a lot of interesting things to report and we had a lot of fun with him. Gladly again with him!

Great Private Golden Circle - Smari was our most excellent guide today and he was awesome. Great personality and really intuitive to what we wanted to do and see. We enjoyed the Golden Circle and really enjoyed finishing it off with a great meal at Frioheimar Tomato Farm. If you go, make sure to ask for Smari!

A tour, everyone should do - It was an amazing day with lots of information about Iceland. Our guide Jon told us lots of side facts for example about the school system. He also had lots of knowledge which he shared with us. The stops were beautiful and interesting. I would do it again. :)
