Stunning landscape trip made easy
Therese_L
, Mar 2022
I'd highly recommend this tour for the professionalism of the tour company, value for money and ease of travel, and the sites and points of interest themselves. Alot of beautiful and exciting landscape is packed into 8 hours. Our guide Monica was not only super knowledgeable during our tour but I felt she took a genuine interest in us and pride in her job and I loved the addition of Icelandic comtemory music while we drove from one site to the next. The landscape is stunning and worth the trip. Overall the timing at each site was fine though to make the most of the day I suggest taking a packed lunch rather than sitting down at one of the restaurants or it may feel rushed.
The tour company was so well organised. I'm not a tourbus type person but I'd happily take this tour again in the summer to see the landscape at a different time of the year.
Golden Circle is amazing!

Amazing trip from start to finish

We were picked up during the start of a storm. We were warned by Monika the tour operator that we might need to abandon the tour due to bad weather. We were delayed while the operators worked out the safest roads to travel. We were kept informed the whole way through the trip. We were so impressed and felt safe with our driver Tomnik (not sure of the spelling) who was amazing. Monika was brilliant as a guide and gave us a wealth of knowledge along the way. We were so impressed as we found out after that most of the trips were cancelled on the day so we were so lucky.

Great sites
Heather_L

Guide was great and the sites were amazing. Felt rushed though - would have liked more time. Many on bus (54 people?) did not mask. Made us uncomfortable. That should have been enforced.
Response from Host , Nov 2021
Dear Heather,
Thank you for your feedback! Indeed Iceland just changed the covid rules from today on and the maximum amount of people is therefore now 50 people. Masks are mandatory again in Iceland from now on and we will enforce this rule while we are on the bus.
Have a great day and we hope you are enjoying your time in Iceland!
Golden Circle and Icelandic Horses
Natasha_S
, Oct 2021
Did this on October 20th. Really appreciated the tidbits of information along the way and the recommendations for the best vantage point to take photos from our guide. Kerid Crater was the most dramatic of the sites that we saw that day and I really, really appreciated the extra and surprise stop to see the Icelandic horses. This should definitely be added to this itinerary.

Great way to see the “must see’s.”
David_W
, Jun 2021
Great tour of some of the “must see’s” of a trip to Iceland. Our guide, Hjorter (“Howser; like Doogie, but no relation”), was a real gem. He was a wealth of information and was obviously passionate about sharing it. The scenery was beautiful and Hjorter made it a fun day as well.
He is also a musician and shared his Spotify tour playlist with us, and I’ve been listening to it for the rest of my trip!
Trip went on in bad weather
Jenny_B
, Mar 2020
The weather for this trip was too windy to even safely see the sights. It should have been canceled. We could not see out the windows and had very little visibility. At some sights it felt like the wind was going to knock us down and many of us stayed in the bus rather than go because it seemed unsafe. The tour guide mocked us and our nationality for not wanting to be knocked over by wind. It felt like high school bullying. The bus shuddered from side to side. If you’re going in nice weather, it’s probably good but don’t count on them to cancel when it’s not good.
Response from Host , Mar 2020
We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your tour, but we are extremely surprised to read your review. Our guides are all professionals who are well trained and experience. Our first priority on all our tours is the safety of our staff and passengers. I can assure you we never operate in unsafe conditions. We encourage you to email us directly so we can investigate this further as this review does not reflect the service we pride ourselves on providing.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
