A great tour - A great tour that covers all the attractions offered. We got plenty of time at each one and the drive in between was not too long. The guide was very interesting and informative. A great way of getting a flavour of Iceland. Highly recommended.

Would definitely recommend! - The Golden Circle tour from Reykjavík was fantastic. All the stops were amazing, the tour was well-organised with plenty of time at each stop. Our guide, Jorri, was friendly, knowledgeable, had a great sense of humour and made the experience really enjoyable. A perfect way to see Iceland’s highlights in a single day!
