Definitely do this tour!

Absolutely fabulous. Chiara the tour guide was brilliant, funny and very knowledgeable. Loved her many stories! Piotr (hope that's how you spell his name) our driver was also excellent, friendly and drove so well considering the very long day. The boat ride on this tour is a must among the icebergs.

The best tour guide and itinerary ever!

Siggy was the kindest, most knowledgeable, most helpful tour guide. He knew Iceland and was kind and thoughtful to his customers. He stopped for bathroom breaks, made suggestions, asked our opinions and was so enjoyable. I would recommend him and this tour. We saw so much. Even though the tour started late we saw all the itinerary and more! One bonus was stopping to see a roundup of horses on the peninsula.

Best tours ever!!

I’ve been in Iceland for 4 days; 3 of them I booked 3 tours with this local travel expert. The best tours i’ve ever done in my life. I’ve done Glacier lagoon and diamond beach with Chiara; golden circle and blue lagoon with Omar and Fragadalsfjal erupting vulcano afternoon and evening with Omar. They have been the funniest and the most prepared guides I’ve ever had! I absolutely advise to everyone to book tours with them as you will see amazing naturally things and you will get a lot of fun as well. Thanks to everyone in the company that contribute of it! Best tour ever!!:):)

Worth the money

They cover everything on the way. Southern Iceland tour was good and our guide was a knowledgeable lady with an experience of travelling to over 55 countries. Only request is to increase the duration of visit at destinations by 10-15mins at least. This can be done by reducing time spent at super markets and cafes.

Delightful Golden Circle Tour

We were completely delighted with our guide Torfi on the Golden Circle minibus tour. He was thoughtful, courteous, clearly communicating about each stop before so we would know what to expect. He was so knowledgeable about so many details of Iceland. From his personal experience being born and raised here to his complex detailed geologic knowledge made understandable, we were eager listeners. He patiently answered all our questions, time and again. Our party of three would recommend him with the highest praise. We were comparing notes with friends on a different bus and by far we had the best experience. And he was an excellent driver! Thank you Torfi!
