Ask for DJ
DJ was our driver & guide through Iceland’s Golden Circle and we couldn’t have asked for a more professional and personable individual. He arrived on time with a very comfortable Mercedes van and shared details about Iceland along the way. In addition to sharing the beautiful stops during the day, he also got us into the restaurant at the tomato greenhouse with no wait at all to enjoy our delicious lunch in an amazing setting. If you have time while in Iceland, definitely do the Golden Circle and be sure to ask for DJ.

A wonderful tour
This was a wonderful tour. Jon, my guide, was so friendly and knowledgeable. The advantage of a private tour is that you can keep the pace exactly as you like. The sights we saw were amazing. I would highly recommend this one f you are looking for a private Golden Circle tour.

Wonderful day on the Golden Circle Tour!
We had an absolutely wonderful day on the Golden Circle Tour with Stephan. He was punctual, and shared his knowledge of Iceland, it’s history and geographical information. Best of all, his recommendations for food were SPOT on! Ask for Stephan, he will not disappoint. The Mercedes van was very comfortable and roomy for our party too.

Best way to see the Golden Circle
Expect your guide to be very knowledgeable in the human and natural history of the region, and to be extremely professional and courteous. The tour was well-paced in terms of when the stops occurred, availability of meals, snacks, etc., and had something for everyone.

Ask for DJ!
DJ was the best tour guide/driver ever! My 12yo daughter woke up with a headache and was afraid to get a migraine while away. He reversed the itinerary so we could do the farthest sites first and get closer to the hotel as we went in case she needed to go back. He was super attentive and checked in with her often. Luckily she made it through the whole fantastic tour! We saw many cool sites. Iceland is so beautiful!
