“Monica, our guide was first class. Driving was not easy due to the wind, but we felt very safe. She continually provided us with very interesting information about several Icelandic phenomena via the headset she wore whilst driving, and she was always very efficient regarding our pick-up points - when they were different to the drop off point, she would go there first and show us where she would be.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,906 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $168

Small-group Golden Circle plus Secret Lagoon soak. Thingvellir, Gullfoss, Strokkur, hotel pickup from Reykjavik, and a calmer ending.

“The driver/guide was extremely known about the history and places/sites where we stopped. He allowed time at the stops so we could experience them. My booking was this past Monday which was an unusually warm day. Unfortunately the van used for the tour did not have air conditioning and it was an extremely hot and uncomfortable 8 hours sweating inside the vehicle. Although the driver tried to open some vents there was minimal air circulation and it was not an enjoyable trip”
