Amazing experience all together. Michael the driver and also tour guide was an excellent host. He showed tremendous knowledge of the history and culture of his country. He was also very polite and helpful with all tour participants. The sites visited were all interesting, with amazing views. We would highly recommend this tour to everyone interested in the history and geography of Iceland.
Julianna was an excellent driver and guide. She was much more engaging than the tour guide I had yesterday.
Juliana was amazing friendly and attentive.
Such a fun tour! Juliana was amazing. Perfect mix of activity, free time, and rest.
JULIANA our tour guide was amazing, very kind, had the best jokes , punctual & very informative. It was a very sufficient amount of time all the way through with all of the stops that we had. Definitely if you’re an animal lover this tour is for you, I had an amazing time with the horses.
Wonderful experience! Juliana was a great guide and very knowledgeable. Loved learning about the horses and eating lunch in the greenhouse!
We very much enjoyed our Golden Circle tour. We had been on a cruise which disembarked in Reykjavik, and decided to stay two nights in the city afterwards. For our one full day, we chose this Golden Circle tour. We were delighted by all the sights included, from the geyser to the horse and tomato farm. The only issues we had was the pickup and the bus itself. It was a bit chaotic at our pickup spot with a lot of tour buses all converging around the same time. It was hard to figure out which bus was the one we needed to get on! In addition, the bus had a cracked front windshield and the big side door didn't open, so we all had a difficult time getting on and off the bus very large step down. The tour guide improvised with the only thing he had available, a plastic tub of salt, which wasn't sturdy enough to serve as a step.
The Iceland horseback ride was perfection (with Laxner Farms). The Golden Circle tour guide, Monika, was brilliant and lovely.
The small bus was very comfortable and the driver/guide was excellent and very informative. Plenty of time was given at each stop to explore. Meeting the Icelandic horses and learning about them was interesting, including seeing their different distinctive gaits. Tour of Tomato Greenhouses was great and the lunch there was wonderful. I highly recommend this tour.
