Small Group Golden Circle, with farm - We did a small group tour with Roman ( from the Ukraine) as our driver & guide. It was an excellent day, well worth the money. Roman was extremely informative and thoughtful. Each stop on the trip was beyond expectation.

Siggi and the Golden Circle - We did the Golden Circle on our first full day in Iceland and would highly recommend it to visiting tourists. While the 9-hour tour is a long but wonderful haul, it is packed with sites, experiences, and information, giving tour attendees an expansive overview of Iceland's history, landscape, culture, and beauty. Our tour guide Siggi was a font of knowledge, knew all of our small bus attendees' names within 10 minutes of meeting us, and filled our day with laughter, lore, and a sense of what it meant to live in and love Iceland. Because the tour covers so much ground (literally), it gives visitors a sense of how to plan the rest of their stay. Siggi's recommendations filled the remainder of our week, and we had no apprehension about traveling on our own based on his helpful advice. While the tour was wonderful, we can't praise Siggi enough. Any guide who can use his charm and reputation to score ice cream for a little girl when the line was time-prohibitive to visiting our next stop is worthy of a bonus. If we only did the Golden Circle Tour we would have been satisfied as having seen and experienced the best of Iceland in just one day.

Excellent Shore Excursion Itinerary - Traveled to Iceland on the Caribbean Princess cruise ship and took this as a shore excursion. I loved the itinerary, especially the horse farm and greenhouses, as well as the National Park, waterfall and other stops. Shore excursions from the ship cost more than twice as much as this trip. Even though it was a long day, there were plenty of stops and bathroom breaks. Lunch at the horse farm/greenhouses was on our own, just under $15 USD each for a tasty tomato soup and homemade bread. All in all, a great day in Iceland!

Golden circle. Tomato farm, and Icelandic horses - Had an amazing time visiting the tomato farm and seeing all the beautiful sights. Our guide, Siggi, was funny, energetic, and made bonus stops along the way where we saw another beautiful waterfall. Thank you Siggi! The experience was very memorable.

Not worth the money! - 20 people on "small group tour". Bus was exceptionally tiny and not well equipped. Tour guide had ZERO personality and he was so hard to understand that we missed most of what he was saying. For $100+ per person, we expected so much better.

Not a Reliable Tour Company - Things didn't work out for this tour. We got off the Oceanica Insignia at 9:26am and searched for your tour bus "Bus Travel Iceland". After some asking around found we were not at the Skaragaroar 8. 300 meters away. I had no phone. I had someone call your tour company and found out they had already left. Bus would not return. There is no way we could have met the bus with the timeframe thru immigation. Your tour company doesn't plan for immigration control or where the ship is docked. Very disappointed in your company.
Would demand refund.
