Loved it!

Perfect length of time for me, hit all the hot spots. Great option to go out in the afternoon as the weather cleared up. The view at the national park was my favourite. Plenty of opportunities to shop, use restrooms etc. Eric was a fun and friendly host, dropping me back near my hotel instead of the original collection point. Highly recommend.

Poor drop off service

Trip wasn’t too long -
Tour guide woman was a little repetitive and not overly informative.
They asked us what hotel we were staying at to drop us off on the way back, then proceeded to drop lots of people off in different locations, we passed a bus stop that was close to our hotel and we weren’t notified, then when we questioned it 20 minutes later after travelling further away they said they only
Dropped off the people who had paid for a drop off. This wasn’t made clear so to save yourselves time keep your wits about you and get off when your close to your hotel or risk a 20 minute walk in the snow whilst pregnant like we did!
A fab trip

Disappointing.

Truncated golden circle tour- we did not get to walk around at the park or visit a farm. The stops to the geyser and Gulfoss were fine but the rest was very disappointing. This is my third golden circle tour and it was the least enjoyable of the three.

Really enjoyed this tour/ wow! It hit all the main spots and it was nice to start the day at noon and have a sleep in after many night looking for N Lights. We had a good tour guide who explained history to us of Iceland and made it an interesting ride between stops. The GEYSIR was awesome! Gullfoss waterfall is also breathtaking. The park with Tetonic plates would have been more interesting in warmer weather - it was freezing! We grabbed a gorgeous meal at the GEYSIR restaurant - beautiful dining that is a part of the hotel there. I don’t think anyone on our tour did but it was amazing.
Our table looked out at the GEYSIR. Also the shopping at GULLFOSS boutique there was fabulous! Better than anything in the city center.

Great day, beautiful scenery, had a great driver and tour guide, very kind and informative. Can highly recommend this day, there was plenty of snow, but walking was easy. Timing was just right for us, lunch stop perfect, good selection of food, really lovely gift shops. Thank you!

The trip itself was fine but our tour guide Valerie was not the best. We were treated like children and were made to listen wether we liked it or not! The trouble was she kept forgetting what she was saying and then repeating herself which made it hard work and almost laughable. I’m sure she’s a nice person but not suitable as a tour guide in my experience.

Beautiful views in challenging conditions
Heidi W

We had a wonderful day visiting the gulfoss waterfall and the geysirs. Booked on the day due to an all day tour cancellation. Weather conditions were poor but that didn't dampen our spirits.
The final stop we arrived at the thingvellir entrance however it was pitch black at this time and so a pointless stop for me.
Not a fan of coach trips, however, for a last minute sight seeing tour, it opened up.an opportunity we may not have had. Thank you

Great family experience

Great family experience visiting three interesting locations with great tour commentary. The tectonic plates, geyser and waterfalls were superb. Needed a little longer stop at the tectonic plates site.
Perfect quick trip to golden circle!

We were limited on time for our trip to Iceland and wanted to see the sights without spending our whole day, so this excursion was just perfect! The guide was knowledgable and the bus was nice and spacious. We had just enough time at each stop! Would definitely recommend!

Great day out!

This is a great tour to see the sights. Time at each place varies, with the maximum being an hour, so if you want to spend a lot of time at these spots this tour isn’t the one for you. Guide was really good and kept us entertained for the long bus journeys.
Nice tour at a reasonable price

Don't waste your money

The instructions given to me about pick up were neither clear nor confirmed and therefore I missed my $50+ trip all together.
I tried communicating directly and got no response or resolution.
Luckily I had scheduled a similar tour for later in the week, but certainly don't waste your time or money.

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.
