Golden Circle: Iceland's Must-See Wonders from Reykjavik

A lot of time spent on the coach, we didn’t get going till 10.45. The first stop was very rushed. But daniel the guide did a good job and gave us lots of interesting information and worked hard to make the trip a safe and informative experience. We were lucky with the weather!

With the highest level of snowfall in Reykjavík since records began, we didn’t think this trip would be on. Received constant communications and updates telling us that it would still be taking place and we are glad it did. In the capable hands of tour guide Peter and driver Evie we had a lovely day in the best conditions visiting the favourite tourist places of the golden circle. Peter kept us entertained with interesting and amazing stories and history of the places we were visiting. Evie’s driving was safe and considerate in challenging conditions … although we booked through gray line coaches we did the tour with Rekjavik Excursions . Would thoroughly recommend :)

Really enjoyed the Golden Circle tour. Some amazing sights along the way, I have take a star off as the stops did feel a little rushed, particularly the first one. Our guide Chris was excellent and was a fountain of knowledge on all the sites along the way. The coach was clean and warm with charging ports

​This Golden Circle guided tour was truly unforgettable, primarily thanks to the professionalism and expertise of our driver, Mr. Bjorn, and our guide, Margaret. ​We took this trip during an orange weather warning, with conditions that made driving extremely challenging. Mr. Bjorn deserves a solid five-star rating for his phenomenal driving skills. He navigated the icy roads with such confidence and calm that the entire coach felt safe, transforming a potentially stressful situation into a secure and enjoyable journey. His commitment was second to none. ​Equally exceptional was our guide, Margaret. Despite the tumultuous weather outside, her knowledgeable narrative filled the coach with warmth and fascinating information. Her storytelling brought the natural wonders to life, providing historical context and local lore for every turn. She made the long ride engaging and deeply educational. ​Thanks to the combined efforts of this incredible team, we were able to fully appreciate the once-in-a-lifetime landmarks of the Golden Circle. We are so incredibly grateful for the dedication and skill demonstrated by Mr. Bjorn and Margaret; they made this more than just a tour—they made it an adventure once in a lifetime, handled with grace and care. Highly, highly recommended!

All the experiences were very good, but there was a lot of driving time compared to the amount of exploration at the sites.

Brilliant tour, helped by our guide Kris, who was very informative and kept everyone right at the stop off experiences. Would recommend this trip, although expensive it was worth it for the memory.

Highly recommend!! The tour was fantastic! Our tour guide, Einar, was amazing! Fun, shared great information, excellent host! I was not sure what to expect and was beyond pleased with everything we got to see and experience. The small group was great and gave us flexibility.

Our tour guide Margaret was fantastic!!! She shared soo many facts about Iceland, and some personal touching stories about raising her kids here. The driver Morec (I don't know how to spell his name) was an incredible driver. Very safe & cautious. I didn't have a stress in the world with him behind the wheel. Very smooth and the bus is quite large. This tour: we went to the Tomato Greenhouse that grows many other things. Enjoyed some delicious tomato 🍅 soup and a Bloody Mary. All grown where we sat & gobbled it up. Also got to pet some Icelandic horses. Which we also learned the history about them! Then hit up Gullfloss Falls. Just incredible thing to see. Geysers.... Plus many many many more! It's a full long day, but they plan out many spots to go potty & grab a bite to eat or just a snack. Paced very well.

This was a TREMENDOUSLY amazing tour. We landed in Iceland (from the US) at 9am and were on a bus at 12pm and every moment was worth it. Our tour guide (Oskaar) was exceptional - his enthusiasm shone through every word. He showed us the Geysir geothermal area, the Gullfoss Waterfall, and Þingvellir National Park, as well as an additional stop to pet and feed (approved food only!) Icelandic horses. Both the tour & the guide were perfection. Every part of this was delightful. He was an amazing driver, and guided us as he drove, and took us on swift and perfect routes. His communication was ideal and he seemed genuinely interested in every person and every part of this tour. An 8 hour bus ride immediately after getting here could have gone badly, but this was PERFECTION. I highly recommend it!
