Great tour!
We had a great time on our golden circle tour. I personally loved all of the communication after booking and prompt pick up at the bus station. It was nice being able to sit back and relax and not worry about driving/parking. Glad we booked this trip and got to see all the great spots!

Would do again
This was worth the time and money. The horse show was a bonus and really happy to be able to have lunch at the tomato farm. The place was very busy and because it was a large group it took a while. The restaurant did not seem to be aware that none of us knew each other which was awkward.

A fantastic day
Very good customer service to resolve any questions before the excursion, likewise the guide who accompanied us, Mikkie, did a fantastic job. The route was as expected and with enough stop time to visit the places. The restaurant where we stopped to eat at the farm was excellent.
