Golden Circle Ganztagestour in kleiner Gruppe ab Reykjavik

Slavi is really informative and humorous, the weather is not perfect, but he made our days.

This tour is certainly a must if you are visiting Iceland. 8 hours is shorter than some of the other tours on offer, but it certainly packs in a lot and suited me. Kerid crater, Guilford falls and Thingvellir were definitely highlights, but there were plenty of other stops along the route. An additional bonus was having an opportunity to see some Icelandic horses up close. Be prepared for all weathers. It is not an exaggeration to say the wind can be severe and when paired with rain in the exposed areas, vicious. Due to the rain, some of the paths can be slippy, so I recommend sturdy boots. And layers! My only criticism would be that I would've liked a little longer at the geysirs/lunch spot. There were huge crowds, so took a while to get a viewing spot for Strokkur, then long queue for the bathroom left only 10 mins to get a drink. Another 10 mins would have been just enough. (Each spot was very busy at this summer time of year) Our driver was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable about the land and history, which added to the experience. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience which I have no hesitation in recommending.

I was in Reykyavik for a conference and had extra day , therefore, I booked a golden circle full day tour with Arctic Adventure. The day tour was led by a guide named Indra. He was very professional and friendly- "In Iceland, there is never a bad weather because it changes every 15 minutes.". I really enjoyed this trip, which has inspired me to return back to Iceland and do multi days trip in near future.

Our guide Maria was very knowledgeable and offered enough viewing time at each site. We had a great time!

We booked a tour as opposed to self drive because we wanted the guide knowledge. Our guide Andreas was great, very knowledgable and helpful….sadly his microphone wasn’t great at all and we could barely hear him. We enjoyed the tour and the sights were wonderful. The weather wasn’t the best. Definitely make sure you’re well prepared with waterproofs and good boots or you’ll be a bit miserable if it’s wet and windy like it was for us. Also the queues for food at some of the more busy rest stops makes the timings tight as you don’t really have very long at each stop. It’s also very expensive. If you can take stuff with you to keep you going you’ll have a lot more time.

I had an absolutely amazing experience on the Golden Circle Tour! Everything was perfectly organized—the timing was spot on, the drive was smooth, and every stop was breathtaking. Our guide, Björguin, was fantastic: friendly, funny, and genuinely caring. He filled the journey with fascinating stories and facts about Iceland, so the drive itself became part of the adventure. Time flew by because every moment was enjoyable and full of new experiences. The places we visited were simply stunning. This was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Iceland. Highly recommended!

Edgar was very good. He explained everything into details and he was very flexible with the tour - he stopped also at other destinations which were not on tour.

Edgar was a great tour guide. All the destinations were fantastic. We always had enough time everywhere.

Booking directly with Arctic Adventures would have saved the tour from starting off on the wrong foot. The original schedule had us being at Bus Stop 1 at 08:30 in the morning for a 09:00 pickup. The night before, we received an email from Viator ( the third party vendor ) moving up the show time to 08:00. So by the time the bus did show up on time at 09:00, there were quite a few pissed off passengers who waited needlessly for an extra 30 minutes. But, Slavi the driver, saved the day. He was very personable, with a good sense of humour and lots of knowledge. The sights were as advertised and well worth seeing, especially on a beautiful weather day.

Came to Iceland with 8 friends for our 50th birthdays! This tour was amazing! We saw everything we wanted to see and more! Edgar our tour guide was wonderful! Definitely recommend!
