One of the best multi-day tours that I’ve been to! Our guide Heimir, a local Icenlandic, is funny, knowledgeable and engaging throughout the tour. He shared many fun facts about the history, geography of Iceland, and we were lucky enough to catch an Aurora substorm on one of the nights during the stay in Hotel Katla near Vik. An absolutely stunning display and memorable one for sure! The hotels booked with the tour were clean and well located (the one at Katla comes with outdoor swimming pool and a small sauna room). Overall speaking this is a well paced tour, which I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Iceland for the first time especially if you are not self-driving.

wait at the designated bus stop, the tour bus will come to pick you up near the tour start time, Harold our guide as well as the driver did a very good job, observed the weather and KP index around to find the best location for aurora, really amazing and fantastic when we saw the north light, thanks for the tour runner and Harold for great efforts, highly recommended

The Golden Circle tour is definitely something you shouldn’t skip especially if you’re traveling solo like me. The pickup was right on time, so it helps to be outside Storm Hotel on the opposite side at least 10 min before the scheduled time. Everything ran smoothly from the start. Our guide, Anna made the whole day even better. She knows so much about Iceland’s history, nature, and culture, and she shares it in a way that’s easy to follow and fun to listen to. She also has a great sense of humor, which kept everyone engaged during the long drives. 🥰 The stops were beautiful, the pacing was good, and the overall experience felt well organised. I’d happily recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Definitely amazing tour. Not a very thrilling adventure, but still you can enjoy the astonishing scenery and learn some glacier knowledge. I would recommend it.

the car is comfortable , with the jet-lag, we had a great sleep on the car ride so its not tough for us to survive though the 4 hours ride back. the schedule is good overall, we got enough time for each spot but not for lunch & dinner, understood that let to chase the daylight, howver its a bit difficult to finish a meal with order & toilet all within 30minutes. The spot are very great! and the tourist guide is very nice too. They are very ontime and stick to schedule, they also stopped a bit on our way back when they saw there is northern light! its great to have chance to look at this beautiful scene again even if its delay a bit the drop off time. we enjoy the tour!

The tour operator will ask you to gather at bus no 12, just opposite to Storm hotel, when bus comes, the guide will call the name out one by one based upon first book first serve, well arranged and perfect time management. Our guide Jessica did a great job, talked much about everything related to the Iceland and the scenery, including history, background and story, and allowing enough time for visiting each spot. She also introduced nice restaurant , things to do after the tour if still staying downtown. Highly recommended

is really interesting to firstly see a 10 min film on why Iceland has so much volcanic activities and then to see the molten lava . Ian the host is very witty n gives lots of educational background. would recommend to see this .

Overall good experience. Actual walking of glacier maybe less than 30mins. Transfer to glacier is 30mins to and fro, the guide walked quite fast and took fast photo of us as a group.

The captain was experienced and funny. The boat was stable, and it was great to have indoor seating and hot drinks available in winter. We saw whales several times, and seeing Iceland from the boat was truly amazing. Luckily, the weather was sunny and beautiful when we went on board. and wi-fi on board 🤩
