Amazing, reliable company - We went to Iceland literally for 24h and booked an afternoon Golden Circle tour with this company - we couldn’t recommend these people highly enough. The bus was on time, very warm and comfy, with free WiFi (which we didn’t really used as the views from the window were spectacular). The guide Margaret and the driver Lucas looked after us very well, were very informative and friendly, we’d learn so much about the island. We visited the Geiser, the beautiful Gulfoss Waterfall and a place where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet - so interesting, you could literally walk between two continents. The tour was an excellent value for money, if we are ever (hopefully) back on the Island, we will book more tour with them.

Great Experience! - A great experience and a wonderful way to see The Golden Circle, especially if you’re solo travelling. The tour guide, Hoskuldur, was friendly, information and funny. Would definitely use for future tours.

100% do this tour! - Our tour guide Gunnar was great; very funny, knowledgeable and approachable. The driver’s name was Fusi, and they had a guide trainee with them, Bryndish. All 3 were kind & made the day quite enjoyable. Our first stop was Fridheimar, a tomato greenhouse. Get the tomato soup, it is absolutely delicious & so, so fresh. I wish we had an extra 1/2 hour here, as we didn’t get to see as much of the greenhouse as we’d like, by the time we ate our soup & used the restroom, it was time to leave. It should be a full hour stop, in my opinion. 2nd stop was the Geyser. Just incredible! One of 4 spots in the world where you can see a natural geyser. 3rd stop Gullfoss-stunning! We were lucky enough to see a rainbow over the falls. Last stop Thingvellir National park. Absolutely phenomenal and like nothing you’d ever see outside of Iceland. See the “wall” from game of thrones up close & learn about tectonic plates, Vikings, Icelandic politics. It is quite a mystical place, with a rich cultural history. Gunnar gave great tips for photo ops on all locations & gave so much background information on land formations, Icelandic culture & folklore, and suggestions for other tours. This is a do not miss tour!

Amazing nature in iceland - The tour was a lot of fun and informative! I learned a lot about iceland and the history along the way. It was even more fun since we had an amazing tour guide and driver, Margaret, that told us all about Iceland. Super pretty country, amazing nature, perfect amount of time at every stop. Would recommend to every nature lover!

Perfect golden circle tour - Such a good tour! Perfect for seeing the main attractions on the golden circle, without staying too long at any of them. Our guide was really knowledgable and friendly, the bus was comfy (although very warm!) all in all I would definitely recommend this tour!

Golden service - We were a little concerned initially as we weren't sure that we would have enough time at each point of interest, however it was perfect. Gunnar the guide was charming and funny and even serenaded us, the bus driver was an absolute champ. Would recommend, especially if you have already done a south Coast tour or otherwise, as a shorter day on the bus was refreshing.

A most entertaining and enlightening tour - The Golden Circle Direct Guided Bus Tour was superb. It exceeded our expectations. The three locations visited, along with the route throughout the tour, were breathtaking. Our guide, Bjarni, was both supremely informative and entertaining. He made the tour extra special.
