Lovely full day private tour

Spent a lovely day with my guide, Lena. I have mobility issues and use a walker. Lena adjusted our schedule to allow me to what limited walking I could do to maximize my time and see the sites. Highly recommend.

Wonderful!

Our tour guide was Sam and he was amazing! We did both the Golden Circle tour and the South Coast tour with him. He was fluent in English and very knowledgeable. He took us to a few secret spots that were beautiful and less crowded. Highly recommend him and the company!

Unforgettable Wonderful Day!

We are so very pleased that we chose to take a private tour of the Golden Circle. Sam, who may be the BEST tour guide on the island, customized as we went through our day, meeting the interests of everyone in the group. We were in awe of the scenery, Sam's knowledge, as his ability to make everyone happy from ages 9 to 80! I highly recommend this tour. So many lovely sights and even better memories!

Best private tour ever, with best guide ever!

Sam is amazing! He knows a lot of Iceland's history and geography, is a fantastic driver, and very engaging. He made sure we saw all of the south shore must see spots as well as some less known (loved the troll houses)! Very comfortable, clean, and roomy van made for an easy 8+ hr tour. Highly recommend!!!!

Incredible tour with Dmitri

If I could rate this trip more than 5 stars I definitely would! Dmitri, our guide, took us to the most amazing locations and even added stops along the way to ensure we made the most of the trip. He helped us navigate the snow and ice safely to reach incredible hidden waterfalls that other tours often do not include. Afterwards, he also sent us all the amazing photos he took of the places we visited! Dmitri was so lovely and without doubt would contact him again when we return to Iceland.
