Great Tour - The tour was very well run and covered all the sights as were described in the description of the tour online. Sunny, our tour guide, was exceptional in her description of each site and also giving recommendations on which way to get the best views. Szymon our
driver was a true professional.

This tour is not one to miss. Out drive Lucas was good with he's time keeping to each of the activitie locations and he also had a good sense of humour.

Great variety of scenic Iceland venues - Very scenic tour with a knowledgeable and personable guide. Enjoyed it immensely, though the crater was not included on our afternoon tour. Not an issue, as everything else was most interesting and enjoyable.

A memorable perfectly organised tour - The tour was very well organised, no time wasted. We could pick up the bus at a stop not far from our rented apartment. The guide was excellent: not only he explained the places we are going to visit, but he unweariedly entertained us very nicely along the tour providing information about Iceland, it's culture, lore, history, etc. I also enjoyed the description of his participation in the Game of Thrones filming in Iceland. The views and landscape of each stop of the golden circle were wonderful. Because we were well in time, the guide awarded us with an extra stop to see and touch some Icelandic horses. I recommend it.

Very interesting guide with great stories - Juri was an excellent guide with interesting stories and insights into Icelandic culture. The stops were all very interesting, perhaps a bit rushed, but it was a lot to pack into one day.
Would suggest minimizing time at lunch to enjoy the Geyser stop more.
