Puffin Travel and Villi Are Simply the Best - We booked Puffin Travel for three day trips -- Golden Circle, South Coast and Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Villi was our incredible guide for all three of these unforgettable trips. He picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel in Reykjavik (always on time) in his Land Rover Discovery (very comfortable for the 4 of us). We hit all of the high points on each day along with several unique offshoots. Villi is extremely engaging and lovable. We can't imagine a better experience that was well worth the money. We have gone on private tours in other locations (e.g., Portugal, Amalfi Coast, etc.) and this was the best experience we have ever had. I can't recommend Puffin/Villi enough.

Outstanding Private Tour of The Golden Circle - Villi was an amazing guide. Fabulous vehicle and he picked us up right at the house. Incredibly knowledgeable about Iceland and every stop on our tour was informative and interesting. Villi is kind, thoughtful, and flexible. He tailors the tour to your interests rather than having a rigid agenda.
Truly a magical day and we would book a tour with Villi again in a heartbeat.
Thanks, Villi!

Don’t hesitate…Just book! - The scenery in Iceland is gorgeous and any tour you go on will show that but the person taking you on the tour can make or break your day. This tour company is worth every penny! To have the flexibility of a private tour, knowledgeable tour guide and wonderful personality all in one package it truly made our day!

An informative and comfortable tour by a friendly Icelander - This was our first of three days of touring with Puffin Travel. Villi and Gulla were responsive to our enquiries, offered advice and suggestions, and were easy to communicate with. Villi provided us with a most interesing tour, taking lesser known and scenic routes to the attractions of the Golden Circle. He was punctual, informative, friendly, and definitely aiming to make the most out of our day. A wonderful first introduction to Iceland.

Puffin Travel, Villi, and the Golden Circle were fabulous! - This was a wonderful private tour of the Golden Circle. Villi was such a great guide, proud of his country, and taking us to such interesting places. Villi always made sure we had great photo opportunities. He treated us like royalty...due to the rain... dropping us as close to a viewing area as possible, and picking us up even closer. He magically appeared in the "PUFFIN" vehicle. By the end of our day with Villi, we were fast friends and in awe of Iceland. Thanks Villi. We can't wait to come back (maybe for the Northern Lights).
