Superb guiding around the Golden Circle - Amazing tour! Our guide Matt was extremely personable & informative throughout. Even with the Golden Circle being a well-trodden route for tourists, he still managed to make it feel like an exclusive experience for us with his fantastic knowledge and commentary throughout. We won’t hesitate to recommend Matt & Holiday Tours to our friends and family.

A fabulous relaxed day out - Matt was our guide, and the tone for the whole day was set with a light-hearted introduction before we set off for our first stop. A modern and clean vehicle with fast free on-board WiFi and USB charging points which meant our camera phones stayed topped up all day. Matt was knowledgeable and great fun to hang out with; the destinations were great with nothing too strenuous to enjoy everything the tour had to offer. We saw several waterfalls, geysers, the tectonic plate crossover, and had lunch at a Tomato Farm which was a fabulous and unique experience. Really did take a full day, but at our own pace. We’d hired a car for our stay but this was just a much better way to do it all. Can’t recommend it enough, and top marks for Matt (who as a Slovenian could be really objective on Icelandic living) who made it all so fascinating and fun.

Our introduction to Iceland - Golden Circle Tour - We were a family group on the private tour and all had an amazing day. Our driver Matt was very informative, relaxed and very flexible with the tour. We did everything planned for the day without feeling we were on a timed schedule. He was very knowledgeable about Icelandic life and traditions and it was a great way to start our visit to Iceland. At every stop Matt guided us to the feature we had come to see so we knew exactly where to go and what we would be doing. Lunch at the Tomato farm exceeded our expectations and was really amazing. I would definitely recommend this tour Company when planning your visit to Iceland.

A private tour to remember!!! - This was the most amazing private tour and was just perfect for myself, my husband and our twin 11 year old boys who would have no doubt been bored on a normal guided tour with others. Julian was the most amazing guide, and not only was his knowledge about Iceland second to none, but he really went out of his way to give not only ourselves, but the boys a day to really remember!! Nothing was too much trouble, we could stay as little or as long as we wanted in locations, and he took us where ever we wanted to go, suggesting other activities along the way that we were not expecting to see or do! From geysirs to gullfoss, artic horses to an ice cream parlour, Julian really went above and beyond what we were expecting and the boys loved his energy which no doubt matched theirs - snowball fights included!! Thank you so much once again and we will no doubt start planning our next trip with you guys soon!!! Thanks again for a super day!!! ☺️
