“I have to start by saying that our tour guide, Monika, absolutely made this experience. From start to finish, she couldn’t have done more for us. The day began with a convenient pickup right outside our hotel. Monika picked me and my girlfriend, Kerri, up first so we could sit together, knowing that the rest of the small group would be collected afterward and might have mixed up the seating. Such a thoughtful touch—it really showed how attentive she was from the very beginning. Our first stop was Þingvellir National Park, visited during twilight, and it was nothing short of magical. Monika shared fascinating facts about the area and its…”

Small-group Golden Circle from Reykjavík with pickup, onboard Wi-Fi, and time at Gullfoss, Geysir, Þingvellir, and Kerið.

“Very unenthusiastic tour guide who only pointed out sites and gave yes or no answers to questions. No interesting tidbits, no historical references. This was the most boring tour guide we have ever had and we’re avid travelers. Although we did see the sights that we wanted to see the day dragged on and we left the tour feeling like we needed a nap.”

Reykjavik day tour links Thingvellir, Gullfoss, Strokkur, Kerid crater and Secret Lagoon soaking, with coach pickup and key admissions handled.

“The stops were beautiful, we were really lucky with the weather so this certainly helped. We had only 20 minutes at the first stop (crater) but then 45mins at the national park (the facilities were closed and it was dark.) I think these timings should have been swapped. The guide, he is the worst one we have had yet. He talked, and talked, and talked. The whole time. It was like he was having a conversation with himself but over the microphone. I appreciate history, facts and knowledge but this was on another level. Overall, an incredible experience.”
