Perfect day in Iceland - So many great experiences packed into a day I will never forget! Even the drive is spectacular, the beauty here is everywhere you look. Pictures do not do it justice. The greenhouse had the most fresh and delicious tomato soup I’ve ever had. If you have only one day in Iceland, this would be the way to go.

Great Circle tour was a real eye opener. - Gullfoss waterfalls and Strokkur geyser were great and the walk through the rifts at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge was exceptional. Too much time was devoted to the greenhouse visit, but it was of some interest. Our guide was knowledgeable, but I found it hard to hear what he had to say, he probably spoke too much, and possibly due to the heavy schedule he hurried ahead to keep the group moving. Those at the back of the group missed a lot of the information as the guide started to pass on the info before they had a chance to catch up.

And the rest of the story…. - Vs Great trip. Guide Gunnar Ragnarsson and driver Bartek were both great. Gunnar told back stories about the places we were seeing and why that was important.

Great scenic tour with awesome tour guide- Richie - Great tour to see geysers and waterfalls and national park. The tomato farm and restaurant was a pleasant surprise! Definitely get the soup and bread ! It was rainy almost all day , but still enjoyable. Bring waterproof shoes and gear. Richie was an awesome guide - very personable and knowledgeable. Bartek was a great driver. It is an all day tour with lots of driving and walking.. I counted 11500 steps .

Golden Circle & South Coast Wonders - We had the pleasure of doing both the Golden Circle and South Coast Wonders tours with Ritchie Rich - both were absolutely fantastic! His knowledge of the areas plus fun & engaging personality made both tours incredible. Our drivers, Bjorn & Maggi, were both amazing as well! If you’re debating doing either tour, I can’t recommend both enough! I hope you’re lucky enough to get Ritchie Rich as your guide!

Mother Earth - It was a wonderful day, guided by Albert and driven very safely by Stefan. Albert had a wealth of knowledge which he imparted skilfully and with humour. We felt very close to our planet and its power..quite humbling and a reminder that we need to do better in minding it. Thank you Stefan and Albert for a great experience. Vanessa and Charley McCarthy

A great trip around the golden circle - The bus was clean, comfortable, and modern. The bus driver was skilled and made the trip smooth. Our guide was very knowledgeable and obviously enjoys his job. He was informative and humorous. I’m glad we went and would do it again. I’ll recommend this tour to friends and family. My only regret is that we didn’t have more time. I’m giving this excursion two thumbs up!!
