Some driving some walking/touring and some sitting still. Just a great combination of activities. - This was an amazing Trip! Our Guide Loftur was extremely knowledgeable, made the trip interesting and we had unlimited photo and video opportunities on this trip.

Such an amazing day - Honestly this is the best tour operator we have ever come across. The small luxury mini bus is such a comfort and safe way to see this beautiful Country

Wonderful!!! - Unlike anything you've experienced. This is a huge greenhouse with at restaurant. What a departure from the stark landscape outside! Our guide, Einar, helped us with menu selections to share. The bread and soup would be worth a visit alone! Everything we ordered was exceptional. Even the odd sounding tomato beer was delish. The service was prompt and friendly and the ambience was fabulous. A once in a lifetime experience.

5 Star Experience! - I first want to mention that our guide was Robert, and while we had a wonderful itinerary, and great sights to see, he made the trip truly extra special. Robert has a genuine desire to make sure each participant has the best experience. He is patient, very professional, very knowledgeable, a very safe driver, and it is evident that he very much enjoys what he does each day. He also tailored the itinerary a bit to avoid crowds (of course, checking with us for approval) for which we were all very grateful. I’m also going to make mention of the music. Oh, and I forgot to mention that Robert is generous, as well! At lunch, he knew I was really torn between the ravioli and the tomato soup. Shortly after his meal arrived, he handed me a plate with a significant amount of ravioli on it. He insisted that I have it~ so I indulged…and I enjoyed every bite! How kind is that!? I’m also going to review the company, overall, because even from my very first correspondence months ago, with Emilie, I’ve received nothing less than excellent communication. And from our first phone call, I was quite certain that this was the company I was going to choose for my GC tour. But, because I leave no stone unturned, I spoke with many folks at different companies, as I was traveling solo and wanted to make sure I felt safe (as well as relaxed) during the periods of being in route. The tour itinerary does not feel rushed at all, there is ample time at each stop. And, at least in my opinion, everyone I dealt with seemed to take great pride in providing an excellent experience for their guests. This was a short trip, and every moment was precious. Hidden Iceland did not disappoint, in fact, they even exceeded my expectations. I may be returning in the spring, and I’m already looking into another tour with them. And, while I had never even considered it, Robert just may have convinced me to get on a glacier hike with Hidden Iceland! Thank you to you all for a 5 Star experience!

Smaller is better!! - This is my second Golden Circle Tour in slightly over a decade, and by far the best. I was traveling with a friend that had never been to Iceland, so I researched carefully to get a company that seemed a bit smaller, given the armies of tour operators for Golden Circle tours available. They keep the group small and we actually had two guides that day - Amelia and Arna (Hidden Iceland does shadowing with guides as a way to help build their skillsets I guess). They both were excellent. One thing they did was consider the order of when they were taking us to different sites, so we could get good photos or be in a location when it was not as crowded. Example - we went to the Secret Lagoon last in the day. It was less crowded and was a great way to unwind after touring all day. They keep the groups small as well, and while no one likes being trapped in a van with 17 strangers for nine hours, it was made far more tolerable by having a smaller vehicle, breaking up the trip, and even having a lunch in a tomato greenhouse. That stop which I wasn’t planning on being interested in turned out to be really neat and lunch was lovely. Both guides were very engaging and good conversationalists - they didn’t just stick to memorized stale content. 100% recommend!!
