It was good experience on the small bus - The bus picked us on time. The driver was knowledgeable and was able to tell us the history of Iceland on the way to the golden circle. He also stopped at the horse stable and we were able to feed them.

Amazing experience - Darren was great and is truly a vault of knowledge. It was great to be able to do the golden circle in the comfort of a bus being driven for you (by a great driver as well)! Would absolutely recommend.

Great first day in Iceland - Darren (guide) and Artur(bus driver) were great. Timing at each spot was surprisingly good. I was worried beforehand I would feel too rushed. Darren talked us through the drive. He talked history, geography, agriculture and gave great instructions on each stop.

10/10 would recommend - We had a great day seeing all the sites and even got an extra stop to see the Icelandic horses. Elvar was an amazing guide and filled us in on tons of history and geological facts as well as sagas and folklore. This tour was a great way to get a taste of iceland's landscape. Also everything was on time and very efficient which I greatly appreciated.
