The Golden Circle tour was great! We had a wonderful tour guide who knew a lot about the area and explained much about each place we visited and passed. The tour group was also quite small (15 people) and cost about $55 per person. It was much cheaper than most of the larger tours!

Four of us from London ON had booked one of the Iceland Air's excursions and were looking for something to do on the free day. Fortunately for us, we selected the Iceland Horizon tour to the south coast. Our guide, Gerda, a former school teacher, was outstanding. She picked us up at our hotel at 9:30 am. There was only...

The Golden Circle tour itself is something not to be missed when in Iceland. The experience is only more enjoyable when you don't feel rushed and are treated to a few unscheduled stops on the way, wherefore avoiding big buses was my first and only criterion when picking a company for the tour. While all other companies offer tours in... More

We did this tour on our own the first time we visited Iceland some years ago and we found the experience so much better and fulfilling thanks to the excellent tour guiding done by Dave. The tour itself gives a great overview of Iceland, its history and its people, and basically covers the major sites in south west Iceland. It... More

We had a great time on this tour. Our guide, David, was very friendly and informative and made the day fun. David gave us an overview of the day to begin with so we could decide where to eat lunch etc. It was a reasonably small group on a mini bus which was great. Meant we could stop occasionally, like...

This was a great trip, and David our guide kept us entertained throughout with stories about Iceland and Icelanders. The sights are amazing! I think a mini-bus tour like this is better than the big tour buses - we were able to pull over at the roadside to see some horses, and when we arrived at an attraction we were... More

Our guide, Gerta, was wonderful. She drove a full van - 16 people- on the Golden Circle tour- but, very wisely, did the tour in reverse of the route that the large bus companies take. We never ran in to any large crowds by doing the tour this way. She was very informative and eager to talk about her country.... More

You must take a Golden Circle tour when in Iceland. Arthur was our guide, and gave us a ton of information and shared many stories along the way. There were 14 of us in the van, which gave us a better experience than hauling around with 50+ people in large tour group. The first stop was a bakery - be... More
