Fascinating tour guide plenty of time at each stop - Fascinating tour guide, so knowledgeable. Wonderful smooth coach trip, lovely guides and plenty of time at each stop. Coaches are warm and comfortable. Our driver on 15th April was Bjorn and he gave us a smooth trip, can't remember our guides name but he said he was a tired university professor, could have listened to him for ever telling us stories about the areas geology, the landscape, history and people. Highly recommend booking with Reykjavik excursions.

Golden Circle - excellent tour - It was the an excellent tour well planned out. The Tour guide Gunnar Ragnarsson was excellent, he was very knowledgeable and gave us interesting facts about Iceland. He was very helpful. Everything was timed well and not rushed. My husband and I really enjoyed it, and will choose Reykjavík Excursions for our tours in Iceland next time we visit.

Strongly impressed. - We did yesterday. Amazing. The Guide Albert and the driver Pavel are gems. The time we had was very well specified. I was particularly impressed by Albert, who, while waiting for the group at the Gullfoss waterfall, collected some waste from tourists along the hiking trail. Albert, you are the pride of the Icelandic people. Thank you.

Stunning Views, Norse Treasures & Geothermal Delights! - This tour was awesome. Our tour guide, Gunnar B, kept us entertained with stories and jokes on the countryside drive. We stopped at the cultural center where you get to actually stand between two tectonic plates. I believe Game of Thrones was filmed here. It's absolutely beautiful. We got to see the Golden Circle (giant waterfalls). At this stop, they had interesting and unique gift shops. One of which had a lot of Norse mythology items which I didn't see in any other gift shop my entire trip. If you're looking for Norse themed souvenirs, this is your stop. Then, we went to the Geyser and got to see that erupt a few times. Last, we got to stop at the geothermal springs and spa. The spa paled in comparison to Blue Lagoon, but it was still a neat experience. The best part of this stop for me was the Rye bread cooked in the earth. I couldn't get enough and had to go for second helpings.

Golden Circle Tour - Fantastic tour with lots to see. The tour guides were entertaining and informative.
The geothermal area was impressive, but the high point, for me, was Gullfoss.
Great to finally visit Thingvellir after reading the sagas.
The spa was relaxing, though the lake was icy cold (literally). If you plan on going in the lake take flip flops, the rocks are sharp.

Fantastic day out - A great round trip, taking in the tectonic plates, geysers and outstanding waterfalls, split up by a dip in the geothermal pools. Range of temperatures was great - and going from sauna to glacial water to 38 degree pool was a revitalising experience. Can even have a beer while you relax.
Tour guides friendly and informative. Brilliant day out.
