    Ian our guide was so informative about everything to do with Iceland. Excellent personality and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had an excellent experience. Also as our cruise had to change the itinerary at last notice the company changed everything to accommodate us without us even having to get in touch. So professional and efficient. We would definitely book again with them.

    Date of tour: March 10th 2022 I was attracted to this small group tour because it starts a little later (10 a.m) than the myriad others on offer. And good job I did! This later start means that most of the crowds had moved on. Gummi owns the company himself and is a brilliant guide - an absolute mine of information. The tour rounds off with a visit to the secret lagoon (more authentic and less crowded than the blue lagoon). When next in Iceland I’ll be using the same company - I can’t recommend them highly enough.

    Golden circle is a classic Iceland tour so I recommend it to anyone who’s visiting for the first time. Our guide Ian taught us so much about the history and culture of Iceland. The views were amazing...it had snowed heavily a few days before so some parts were icy but it was still beautiful! We also had the secret lagoon added in which was a perfect way to end the tour
