Elysia Tour, the best solution! - My opinion does not only concern this excursion but all those I have done with Elysia Tours. I was really happy and satisfied to have met Michele, a trained guide who is enthusiastic about his work. He took me and my family around Iceland, a fascinating and overwhelming country. Michele was a perfect organizer, an excellent guide, a valuable consultant for local food and an attentive and expert driver. When I return to Iceland - because I will return! - I will rely on Elysia Tours again because Michele and his organization made my trip unforgettable. Super recommended!

The real Iceland with Elysia Tours - Elysia Tour was a sensational surprise! Michele - the owner - was not just a guide but a true travel companion. Always present but never intrusive, a source of precious advice that made us live a true Icelandic experience. The places visited were truly breathtaking but Michele managed to enrich every minute and every smallest stop, even the seemingly most banal ones. We will definitely contact him again on our next trip to Iceland, because we will definitely be back!!!

Fantastic private tour of The Golden Circle - Our tour guide, Michele, was knowledgeable, flexible, energetic, and so passionate about Iceland. We had the good fortune to spend an entire day doing The Golden Circle on a private tour and we cannot say enough good things about the way he treated us from the day we first booked, always responding quickly to emails and coordinating with us about pick up, helping to make our day special by fitting in things we wanted to do, and moving at a pace that did not make us feel rushed around, which is often the case on larger bus tours. It was truly worth every penny to do a private tour! We highly recommend him and his company! You will never forget your memorable time with him in Iceland.
