Beautiful tour in Iceland by bus

Very good busdriver and tourguide Gudjon Jes Maggie took us true the golden circle at Iceland. It was worth the money and you did see a lot of the nature outside the city’s. Worth every penny it cost, so I recommend this tour if you’re going to Iceland, also with kids.

Golden Tour

Very convenient view of natural wonders of Iceland. The tour guide Margaret was most informed, polite and professional. The bus driving very amazing also.

Better value than a cruise excursion

This was £400 cheaper than our cruises version of the same trip. Good commentary at key moments without constant verbal noise. The sights were amazing and we had enough time at each place to explore and get souvenirs, go to the loo and get food. Highly recommended and they pick up and drop off right by the Skarfabakki terminal as long as you book the pick up
