Great tour but make sure you get Jon - We loved Jon the tour guide. He had an almost encyclopedic knowledge of Icelandic history but also was a fun guy to spend the day with and we felt we got the most out of our experience. Ask for him when you book!

Fabulous Golden Circle - Jon was excellent! He has a Vast knowledge of Iceland and gave us a in depth tour of the Golden Circle. Jon was easy going and let us move at our own pace. Highly recommend him for anyone coming to see Iceland.

See above - The operator Jon was excellent with explaining the history and culture of Iceland. We felt comfortable with our conversations and enjoying the wonderful sites of Iceland. We will be back again looking to expand our knowledge and exploration of your great country even more.

No show for our circle tour from your vendor. - Your contracted vendor for our tour never showed up! We called your office at 9:10, 9:30, and at 10:10. Your staff member got no answer and was very apologetic. We used you twice before and had complete trust in your group. She would start my refund work. My cruise representative was also upset since Oceania used you in the past.

Viator sucks!! - Our private driver never showed up! Viator did nothing! Im still waiting for my $2000+ refund!! Traveled all the way to Iceland and didn't see the Golden Circle! And it was Mother's Day! I booked the trip months in advance! Extremely disappointed, I cried for over an hour! My family was so disappointed and pissed off!

Late cancellation leaving me SOL - I booked this tour through viator with private hire Iceland for 9/12/24 in October 2023. I paid for it 2 months in advance. I was canceled the night before the tour leaving me SOL as all private tours had be sold out for months. (I was on a cruise boat so lots of demand). Reason given was driver was sick. Given the huge demand I’m guessing they over booked and I was on the short end of the stick booking with Viator with late cancellation policies. I can not prove this. I have seen other reviews reporting the same thing. Be careful booking this tour if you’re coming in on a cruise.
