Highly recommend Ian as a tour guide. He was knowledgeable about the history, geography, and the sites and worked to personalize the tour for the two families on the trip. We saw the geyser, the amazing Gullfoss falls, Ringvillr, and enjoyed relaxing in the secret lagoon. We even stopped to see bread baking buried in sand heated by geothermal steam.

Rakal the tour guide is amazingly knowledgeable, makes you feel so welcomed and like you've known her for years. The secret lagoon is the perfect way to end such a fabulous day seeing all of the beauties the Golden Circle tour offers. The small group makes the trip feel personal and intimate rather than being on a full bus load of tourists. Would highly recommend.

Our wonderful guide Rachel made our day educational, fun, relaxing and fantastical. We packed so much in, but never felt rushed. With the slightly later departure time than most tours, we avoided most of the congestion of the bigger tour buses. Comfortable minibus transported us around hitting the major sites and culminated in a hot spring soak, which is the antithesis of The Blue Lagoon. Tak fyrir, Rachel!

Seeing all the history was amazing. We had beautiful weather and got to enjoy the sites even more. The waterfalls were breathtaking.

If you are on a short stay and need one single tour to give you a taste of Iceland this is the tour for you. Our Guide (Rakel) was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and full of great tales. She will be remembered as a very important part of our day. The itinerary is well balanced without too much travelling and the times at the attractions are good as long as you can walk quickly. The day is finished off perfectly at the Secret Lagoon which is just wonderful but I should have got a beer.

Rakel was a great guide and the tour was really fun, giving just enough time in each location to experience it. We really enjoyed the waterfall and secret lagoon especially - so relaxing
