Great experience overall! Iceland is gorgeous. Clean and comfy vehicle, good guide. Would book again!
The trip was nice we had a so lovely guide her name is sunny and she is so good and knows what she is doing she full felled us with loads of information about the trip and the country. My only concern is that we had to rush at every place we visit we didn't have enough time , I would like them to rearrange the time snd give every visit a bit more time and reduce the lunch time but overall i really enjoyed so much , Thansk sunny 🙂
The experience was awesome. The bus was comfortable and spacious. Our bus driver and guide Vjeran was very kind and told us lots of information about the different places. The atmosphere was chill and informative. The trip also included very nice spots and attractions. All around the trip was very cool and fun. A tip I'm going to give you is to put on good walking shoes to walk on gravel and alike.
We had an outstanding tour with our guide, Vjeran. He was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about Iceland’s history, geology, and culture. Throughout the day, he shared fascinating stories and interesting facts that made every stop much more meaningful. One thing that really impressed us was that he remembered everyone’s name immediately . I highly recommend Vjeran.
Vjeran was very organized and ensured we had plenty of time to enjoy each attraction without feeling rushed. He was happy to answer questions, offered great photography tips, and made sure everyone in the group felt comfortable and included. His passion for Iceland was contagious, and it truly made our Golden Circle tour an unforgettable experience, highly recommend.
Vjeran is a friendly guide. Lots of interesting information and a great sense of humor.
We have had an incredible time, our guide Vjeran is such a lovely guy who clearly enjoys his job, we now know a lot about Iceland which is super interesting and he also took lots of photos of us with our phones to look back at. What a wonderful country and we couldn’t have asked for a nicer or more bubbly guy to give us a tour! Would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Daren and Christian were amazing ! Thank your !
Our guide Roman gave a lot of information along the way. Both regarding Iceland’s beautiful nature but also life as an Icelander. The bus was well equipped and comfortable. We had a small group of 8 people, family, solo travellers and couples. I appreciated the flexibility. We had some pretty bad weather so we made some extra but short stops along the way to compensate for the rain and fog.
Amazing sights, good driver, and the guide Sven had a great blend of information and humor.
