It was perfect in every sense! The tour guide was Monika and she is amazing - very capable and well-organized! She was a perfect driver and a perfect guide! She was sharing a lot of useful information, along with fun facts, without exagerating but actually telling everything relevant, in a fun way! She's very positive and dedicated to making the tour experience the best, so she even made some small detours which were very cool! The tour itself covers a lot of things that are must-see and is well-organized, so even if it's listing for 10h, it's not hard at all since max amount of time spent in the bus from point A to B is around 1h, and time in each stop is enough for doing the sightseeing! Pick-up and drop-off were also very organized, instructions were clear and you did a great job coordinating all the tours and people! The tour is worth every penny! :)

I am absolutely thrilled and would recommend this trip to everyone. Addi is a very personable, patient and friendly guide. He shared a lot of his knowledge with us. I felt very well looked after by him and the day was incredibly fun. I have heard from many that the Blue Lagoon is overrated. I absolutely cannot agree with that. The warm water and the drink were very good, especially after the cold September day. After an hour in Reykjavik, we went on the Aurora tour. Unfortunately I have forgotten the guide's name, but he was very personable and so enthusiastic. We actually saw the Northern Lights. He showed us the photo settings on the phone and helped some of us take photos. The hot chocolate and warming up in the car was also very good. It was a great day, thank you very much!

I spent 4 days in Reykjavik with my granddaughter Emilie (19 years old) and we loved the excursion "The Golden Circle". Thanks to this excursion, we discovered the exceptional nature of Iceland and our guide Karoline gave us detailed explanations about the country, the people, the tourist sites and the events. It was a real pleasure to do this excursion.

Very good, knowledgeable guide/driver, pleasant and explained both history and natural phenomena in an easy-to-understand way. Good planning of the day.

We loved it! Highly recommended! Our guide Monika was very kind and fun, and shared a lot of information about each place we visited.
