Ritchie and Pacco were fantastic guides and drivers. They had a wealth of local knowledge and from how they acted and passionately spoke about areas during the trip you could tell they loved doing this job. Iceland in winter is incredible and Ritchie with Paccos incredible driving managed to get us to see a couple of extra secluded spots along the way. The information through the QR code Ritchie had complied was fantastic and allowed those that didn’t speak Icelandic or English to still feel involved and not like they were missing out. If you’re wanting to come to Iceland the Golden Circle and the guys who run these tours are the people to go to. Thank you guys!

I think our tour guys name was Jeff! He was brilliant, after a little commotion trying to arrange busses and people on the right ones we got on the road a little later but the whole day made up for it and it wasn’t too bad. Everyone was sat on the busses instead of in the cold whilst people were switched from groups depending on the tour they were doing! This was brilliant as it was freezing outside!! He was very informative, really chatty and helpful, gave so much advice and information about everything, from the driving to the locations we were going, he gave his advice on where to stand at certain places and was just overall a really lovely guide! Me and my partner had the best day, we would definitely recommend this tour. The driver was brilliant too, drove in some tough conditions but did so really well, we all felt safe, it wasn’t crazy and like a rollercoaster, he was very mindful and got us everywhere we needed to, on time and happy! Really really pleasant trip and we were so pleased we would definitely do it again!!

Our guide “Daniel” I think his name was or other wise known as the Aurora whisperer was brilliant. I think we booked through get your guide so not 100% on the company, but it’s the most recommended one on there. He knew exactly where we needed to get to, our first stop had us all amazed. We seen them!! Odds were stacked against us, and it wasn’t looking brilliant but, non the less we stopped twice and seen them! The second time we stopped for a while. He was really informative, gave us all the info we needed regarding pictures and how best to capture them, whether it be iPhone, android or camera. All the information about the northern lights themselves, what they are, how they work and the best ways to find them. We had hot chocolate on our second stop! We did the 9:30 tour so it was COLD and I mean colder than anything I’ve ever known, be sure to take warm things!! I absolutely loved it, a dream come true. The music was just fitting, everything was well thought out and planned, a credit to the company. The only comment we would make (not me particularly I was over the moon regardless just for seeing them) but my partner, was a bit deflated that we only stopped twice and the second time was for quite some time we get we probably could have got another spot in, (whether this was because the guide didn’t think we would see them else where or not we’re not sure) but over 4 hours we only stopped twice to get out the bus. Thats however the only thing we would note that could be worth examining. Overall, definitely do it! And if you don’t see them they guarantee you a free chance again!! Really really worth it!! Completely made our trip!!

Not impressed by the way we watched several paying customers be spoken to by our female tour guide. Firstly, we were picked up at 11.05 when the time frame is 10.30-11am. Then she shouted down the bus telling people to hurry up and sit down else we can’t leave…when they were already late to pick us up? Next, we headed to meet a bus to collect more customers. We sat until 11.20 with no communication from her as to what was going on? We didn’t get on the road until 11.30am. Her first time talking through the microphone she turned around and said to the customers directly behind her (at the front) ‘you’re going to have to stop talking whilst I am or I’m going to have to move you to the back’ in a really condescending and abrupt tone - all of us up front who heard were gobsmacked at the rudeness! She was abrupt and rude the entire trip and would not stop talking about herself. Fortunately, the stops gave us free time to wander off and do our own thing away from her. The landscape is beautiful but in future I would pay extra for a different tour with a kinder tour guide and I suggest you do the same if considering booking.

Chasing Aurora and catching it !!! Lena was our guide and she offered us amazing facts about how aurora is formed, how experts read forecasts and find the best viewing spots. Our bus driver, Laurent, an experienced and professional driver, maked sure that we have a safe journey through icy, strong windy roads in the dark Icelandic wilderness. Lena explained us how it is the best way to spot an Aurora and how to film/photograph it. Black night, amazing sky and 400 people waiting for Aurora Borealis. And the warm hat, gloves, thick socks and good boots HELPED A LOT ! And we caught it !!!! When we were almost frozen, some of us gone back to bus to drink some hot tea. Sitting in the dark, cozy, with our hands on the cup of hot tea, Laurent, our driver, told us old mythical stories about Iceland. It was a very nice surprise ! On our way back, Lena and Laurent showed us the Icelandic Christmas spirit and we are grateful for that ! Thank You

It was an amazing excursion to the waterfalls and the black sand beach. I really enjoyed the organization by Richie, our guide! I would definitely join another tour with him! Thank you, Richie!

We had a superb trip to see the Northern Lights on 1 December in a small group. Micheal, our guide, was fabulous explaining how the phenomenon occurred and what was importantly for a good show. We visited 3 locations and saw the Northern Lights in all 3. Our photos that Michael took were fab and he gave is tips for taking out own. Michael was really on the ball, making sure we got to the locations in an efficient manner as the light show was expected to fade during the evening. He was right as they faded as we left the last place and a quick stop at a 4th place showed that they had gone for the evening. He really made the most of the time we had. The hot chocolate was lovely and very welcome as it was -12C that evening.

The tour was amazing. Ritchie was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. He was really interactive with everybody which made the tour even more interesting. Just want to say a massive thank you - and we saw the lights!! Thank you to the driver aswell who was very helpful! 😊

We loved our tour with Alain, he was brilliant. Very knowledgeable, full of stories and interesting facts. Even sang us an Icelandic song. The tour itself was brilliant, we saw so much! We will definitely be booking a tour with this company on our next trip.

Fantastic trip, driver amazing so informative, great timing to get us to the Blue Lagoon on time. Highly recommend this trip

The tour was smooth and fun. Addi is a friendly and accommodating guide. He is informative and recommends food to try amd nice spots for photos. Would love to have him as a guide again.

Our tour guide Addi was very helpful, and informative! Absolutely recommended! Blue lagoon is a must try👌

Our tour guide was fabulous , the weather was great and we really had a good time squeezing so much of this beautiful country in such a short time. Thank you Arri

A massive thank you to Addi as our tour guide for the golden circle and blue lagoon tour today. He kept us entertained throughout the long day and was very knowledgeable about iceland and its heritage (and helped us navigate a complex blue lagoon check in as a result of the eruption….)!

We had Noi (Noah) and a lovely driver Wieslaw today for our tour on the 7th December 2024. Firstly, our driver Wieslaw was extremely safe and there were no points where his driving felt uncomfortable. He was very mindful of the weather conditions :) Noi was a wonderful tour guide and made each and every stop so special and memorable. He was even able to make a service station interesting! He was very kind to us as a group, ensured we got the most out of each stop, and made sure we were all catered to on the trip. He had fantastic knowledge of his wonderful country, and made it such a great day. Thank you to both Noi and the driver for a wonderful experience :) bus Iceland travel are a great company if you’re considering booking a trip (any trips that they offer). This was our second trip with them and this was as good as the first (south Iceland coast tour). Many thanks!
