Excellent guide - If a big group is your think, then you can make this tour. The highlight was our guide Stefan( local, experienced, professional and excellent informations not only for the places you visit but generally for iceland and the people). Also well done for our driver Mikki which is also very professional.

An amazing trip to explore one of Iceland's "must-see" places - It was an amazing trip to explore one of Iceland's "must-see" places. The tomato farm was a nice addition, and we started the day with warm soup and drinks. We had around 1 h at each place, so it was enough. Maybe a bit more time for Þingvellir would be nice to be able to see the waterfall without having to run back :).

Golden Circle, arctic greenhouse, lifelong, unforgettable experience - It was an excellent opportunity to see the beauties of the countryside and through experiencing how professionally, attentively and pleasantly this excursion was organised, it was also fantastic to understand why Iceland is where it is. Dylan, our guide was a terrific driver, an excellent and informative lecturer on Icelandic history, nature, geothermal energy and its future, the people, society, the flora and fauna, he was also very empathic, had an eye for every little detail, and helped everybody in every possible way to enjoy and make the most of this tour. It was a beautiful, beautiful experience. Highly appreciated.

Perfect Golden Circle Tour - Wonderful tour & far exceeded my expectations! Albert was very informative with the history on the areas we were passing and visiting. We loved the sites- even our 5 year old. The day passed quickly, we had adequate time at each site as well as enough time for coffee & snacks. Would 100% recommend this tour as well as Albert as a guide.
