Private Golden Circle Tour ab der Südküste

Fred is amazing!! He is incredibly knowledgeable and totally enhanced our experience in this beautiful country. We spent 3 days exploring the Golden Circle, The South Coast and Thorsmork. We covered exploring the black sand beach, hiking a glacier, hiking into caves, numerous waterfalls, seeing the northern lights and so much more. If you want to immerse yourself in history, nature and beauty then Fred is the man for this.

It was a true stroke of extreme luck that Hotel Ranga arranged our pickup and first day Golden Circle Tour with FG Private Tours (aka "Fred"). He was EXCEPTIONAL in every way (SO MUCH SO THAT WE ARRANGED TO HAVE HIM WITH US SEVERAL MORE DAYS!). Fred was MUCH more than a driver (though he's great at that - both skilled and weather/safety-aware -- with multiple vehicles to accommodate whatever the day's activities involved and however much "stuff" you'll have with you!). Fred was more than a typical Guide - extremely knowledgeable, of course, but beyond that he shared with us so much of what makes Iceland Iceland, what the culture and even family life is like, and more. We learned so much from him that elevated and enriched our trip, and he was so friendly and open that his stories often had us in stitches. He was also incredibly proactive, going beyond whatever the day's "job" was -- he saved us from being stranded in a remote "dome" with no food by checking out the property ahead of time and learning that there wasn't a place to get food nearby (contrary to the property's claims). He took us out of the way to pick up food to take with us (thank goodness!) and did this sort of thing a number of times. He even went back to a previous hotel to pick up a power cord I had left behind! Fred was the BEST guide we've had anywhere in the world -- truly. You can't go wrong working with Fred!

Fred was a great guide! Very knowledgeable of the area and did a great job of pointing things out and offering quick stops if there was something exciting to see. He’s very personable, we loved getting to know him. Highly recommend!
