A great way to see some highlights in a day from Reykjavík - Our guide Darren was exceptional as was driver Albert.
Although it was a large coach, it felt very relaxed and Darren was so informative and even took photos of people. There was plenty of time at each stop and Darren also gave plenty of tips of how long the walks would take which was extremely helpful especially as I have mobility issues.
Would definitely recommend this tour.

Excellent Guide and Safe, Enjoyable Trip - We had a wonderful tour yesterday. Our local guide (Jorri) was informative, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humour, which made listening to his stories very enjoyable. He was also calm and patient throughout the journey.
As a bonus, he brought us to visit the Icelandic horses, which was not part of the itinerary. The entire trip was smooth and safe, thanks to the driver (captain hero). Overall, a great experience and highly recommended.

Amazing trip - Fantastic tour. We really enjoyed the full day from start to finish, but the highlight for me was the waterfall. There is so much to see on the tour and its good value for money. Jorri was a great guide, very knowledgeable and a good sense of humour. Also a big thank you to our driver Captain Hero for keeping us safe on the icy roads. We will use this company again if we are to visit in the future

BEST VALUE Golden Circle tour - We had a wonderful experience on the Golden Circle & Kerid Crater Bus Tour from Reykjavik. Our guide Kristin was very knowledgeable and provided a wealth of icelandic lore. The Sites are are a sight to behold and definitely worth your time. This is the tour you want to to book if you are on a budget.

A must do excursion! - We booked this excursion for 10.30, but with hindsight would have booked earlier as it takes a full day, back at 7. All in all a great day, plenty of stops, and the tour guide was interesting and informative.
