Mind-boggling! This is our first trip to Reykjavik, so the Golden Circle tour was perfect. We learned so much about the landscape, history, and culture of Iceland from our guide, Daniel. Sylvester, our driver, expertly navigated us through breath-taking scenery, including waterfalls, geysers, and even a crater! This tour is a must!

What an amazing experience full of breath taking views. Our guide was Thor who was so enthusiastic and engaging with passengers. He was full of fun knowledge which made the journey easy. 100% recommended Bus travel Iceland. We did three tours with them in total and each one ran smoothly only delays were other passengers not getting to the bus at stops at the designated times to continue out trip.

It was absolutely stellar!!! They do stop for lunch that you can buy about noon at the geyser restaurant and gift shop. Take the morning tour so you don't miss the volcanic crater.. More beauty than you can imagine!!!

Best tour for a one day in Iceland. The tour was well organized, the guide was awesome . It is the right tour for a short stay in Iceland . I got to see all the basics. It was an unforgettable experience.

Overall excellent experience getting to see the natural wonders this beautiful place has to offer. Unfortunately had a bus issue and it had to be switched out but I appreciate their concern about all our safety. Lunch stop at Geysir had good options. Thor was excellent and gave a lot of good information.

The guides were simply AWESOME. They were humerous and patient... despite having to deal with some very surly and complaining German tourists. The amount of walking is "rigorous" and somewhat fast paced... so best to be in fairly good physical shape. I'm a large older guy with less than perfect knees, and I did struggle to keep up. The tour was very good value for the money spent. Great circuit visiting many great sights. Recommended.

We had a wonderful guide Daniel who was from NYC and kept us entertained with local tales. The weather though was rainy which made the experience not so perfect.

Our recent Golden Circle tour was an excellent experience from beginning to end. Anna, our guide, was truly outstanding — full of energy, personality, and professionalism. She handled our large group effortlessly, making everyone feel comfortable and welcome, while keeping the atmosphere upbeat and positive throughout. There was never any negativity or confusion, and she made sure every part of the day ran smoothly. Simon, the driver, was an equally important part of the success of our trip. He was consistently courteous, polite, and patient — no matter the circumstances. Both Anna and Simon demonstrated genuine care for the group and went the extra mile to ensure that everyone enjoyed the tour. The sights themselves were, of course, spectacular, but it was the human touch that made this excursion memorable. One suggestion for future tours: As Iceland is an almost completely cashless society, it would be even better if guides and drivers offered the option for contactless tipping — many visitors no longer travel with cash. This small convenience would make it easier for guests to show appreciation for excellent service. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an engaging and well-organized Golden Circle experience.

Great day out. Loved all the stops. Definitely need to go back and see abit more of Iceland now 😄 Bus clean. Guide was great. Toilets/shops at all stops. Worth the money for a first glimpse of Iceland

Simon, our driver, and Andrea, our guide, were absolutely fantastic true storytellers who brought Iceland’s history to life. Their insights and background knowledge felt like watching a beautifully narrated documentary. An unforgettable experience! Would like more time at the waterfall.
