Fabulous Golden Circle - Jon was excellent! He has a Vast knowledge of Iceland and gave us a in depth tour of the Golden Circle. Jon was easy going and let us move at our own pace. Highly recommend him for anyone coming to see Iceland.

Plate tectonics experienced! - We had a helpful guide who took account of our mobility difficulties so that we could enjoy the highlights of the tour. I was thrilled by the personal experience of plate tectonics. We also had good views of the Gullfoss waterfall and the Strokkur geyser performed for us at Geysir park.

One of our most memorable experiences - Iceland is so full of natural wonders. Each stop was memorable and beautiful. We can't believe we saw so much in one day. Our guide, Tommy, was so knowledgeable and helpful. We would highly recommend this tour. We even stopped at a dairy for delicious ice cream cones. It was more than we ever expected.

Better book a taxi - The car was very comfortable with WiFi, driver wasn’t particularly interested in giving the tour. Spoke the indispensable amount. Felt like he just wanted to finish the tour as soon as possible. You’re better off booking the tour with a local taxi and having a more amicable guide that will try and fit in more places than those marked in the tour. We booked a taxi the next day and it was much bette and cheaper.

Disastet - Viator cancelled our tour the night before our tour. Therefore, our experience was terrible. We were scrambling to find another tour for that day because it was our last day in Iceland.
