The Golden Circle Tour was amazing. Gave us plenty of time at each location to explore. Agnes, our guide, was the best tour guide we’ve had on our trip. So passionate and knowledgeable about Iceland.
The tomato farm is a must to add to the Golden Circle tour. Simon is an enthusiastic, knowlegeable tour guide
I booked my tour with another service provider but was informed that these two companies combined their clients. The excellent communication about pick-ups and other details with the tour operator happened in whatsapp and email before and during the trip. Everything went perfectly. I really enjoyed my day. The vehicle was superb. I warmly recommend this one day excursion for getting a glimpse of the magical Icelandic nature.
Driver true top but in the tomato farm I would have liked to eat a tomato soup but the time was not otherwise all OK but also not more
Best highlights of area and a good pace not too rushed but tomato farm a waste of time. Guide pleasant but some of other travelers didn't speak English and got lost for a while and guide yelled us for being annoyed as she insisted we be on bus and missed a waterfall and then sat on bus a half hour waiting for lost passengers
The tour itself was great. Our tour guide was Sebastián. Sebastián was very informative and helpful throughout the tour. All the locations were wonderful to visit and see. Very worth it! The only disappointment was the tomato farm. We spent 10 minutes at the tomato farm, enough to use the restroom and leave. It would have made the trip complete if we would have had the opportunity to have lunch there as advertised.
We were under the impression that the mini bus was 8-10 people. This one had 19.. it worked fine thought. Our guide was fantastic.
Our guide Sebastian was knowledgeable, fun, intelligent, helpful and an unexpected surprise. A whole day of touring went by, and it was great. We continued to be grateful for him that evening when we went to dinner at a restaurant he suggested. Hope you are lucky enough to get Sebastian on your tour!!
Lots of solo travelers. I was by far the oldest . It was interesting as at least 6 nationalities were included, but English was the common language we used to communicate with each other.
The weather didn’t cooperate well on our trip, but we still had fun. We weren’t expecting horizontal blowing snow, sleet, and some patches of sun in May. Visibility was limited for some of the sights, but the driver added fun stops along the way to make up for it. We loved the tomato greenhouse…so much fun. And we had ice cream at a farm where you could see the cows through a window between the barn and the cafe. We had a good day.
