Golden Circle one day tour review - The trip was superb. Saw so much in just one day. Waterfall and Secret Lgoon were highlights. Lili our driver was brilliant, friendly, informative, very knowledgeable about ice cream. Would definitely recommend.

Magical Snowy Adventure - We recently took the Golden Circle tour and had an absolutely wonderful time! Even though it was snowing heavily—which made for a magical, winter wonderland atmosphere—the visibility for some of the natural wonders was a bit tricky. However, our guide Al made sure we still had a fantastic experience. Al was incredibly funny, entertaining, and great with everyone in the group. He kept us laughing and shared so many interesting stories throughout the day. To top it all off, he even gave us some delicious chocolate at the end of the tour, which was such a sweet and thoughtful touch! If you're looking for a guide who is professional yet super fun, I highly recommend booking a tour with Al. Thank you for making my trip to Iceland so memorable!

FRANKLIN IS THE BEST - Franklin was the tour guide of our dreams. Not only was he full of knowledge and passion for Iceland and its history, but also a very funny and entertaining guy! The tour itself was perfect. Timing of each stop and amount of time to explore was just right with plenty of opportunities for food, bathroom breaks, etc. The sites were beautiful and felt like we really got to experience a piece of Iceland’s beauty. The group size was also nice being ~20-30 people. Big enough but not too small. Thank you, again, Franklin!!

Most knowledgeable tour guide, all things icelandic - What a fantastic day trip! Iceland has the most spectacular natural scenery and, despite the chilly temperatures, it proved to be as beautiful as it is advertised. The golden circle offers some of the best sites, do I would highly recommend. If you choose this tour, ask to be on Franklin’s bus. Franklin is a native of Iceland. He is an excellent communicator and his English is superb! He is also extremely Personable and funny. But his greatest asset is his wealth of knowledge about everything Icelandic, both historical and current, and his battle make that information interesting. Thank you, Franklin!

Franklin was great! - The Golden Circle small group tour was amazing. Franklin was such an animated tour guide, who, as a native Icelander, was a wealth of knowledge. He added humor and interest into the tour, was high energy, and taught us so much. I’ll definitely request Franklin again if we do this again. Thanks, Franklin!
