Wonderful way to experience Iceland - This was my third trip to Iceland. On this trip, I was with first-time visitors since I was doing my second Golden Circle tour. It was as enjoyable as before since my prior trip had been during the winter which is a totally different experience. There was ample time along the way at each stop on the Golden Circle. We had enough time at the geyser to enjoy lunch in the restaurant. The guide was informative. I highly recommend Reykjavik Sightseeing.

Gullfoss, The Hidden gem - We enjoyed this tour, seeing the fault lines with large rocks and boulders at Tningvellir National Park, and onto seeing the Geothermal Fields watching the Geysers letting off steam. Ending with the amazing Gullfoss Waterfall and we had a rainbow on the side of the falls.

Great Golden Circle Tour - I did the Golden Circle Tour today with departure at 12 and it was so much fun! The sights are truly impressive and we were even given time for some quick lunch at the geysir. It's also nice that they offer tablets and audioguides with info about the tour in different languages making sure that everyone gets to know something about Iceland during the tour! :D The bus was comfortable and we had a great guide who gave us an awesome insight into Icelandic history and the different nature sites.

Everything you need.. - In short, the main points of the golden circle. Take the early trip and avoid the huge crowds of tourists at Thingvellir. The time at the locations was convenient. You can easily spend an hour at Gullfoss. The guide was good and informative and we were all put by where we lived.

Unique 250km journey - Witness unique natural geology and landscapes like no other. A 250 kilometre (+/-) tour over seven hours with fun coach mates.

Good job - For me, the most memorable, was the Geysers and the waterfall. Would have have liked more time, especially at the geysers as it was packed, so by the time I got something to eat. I had to do a rush job, looking at them

Great guide! Karen entertained us with history tradition and jokes during bus trip! - Geysers were impressive! The whole landscape is unique! I think more time should be allowed at each stop to take advantage of the experience, as It is a long bus ride.

Good but . . . - Great to see three different parts of Iceland's rich geography. Only wish our very knowledgeable guide had stayed with us as we saw the sites, rather than just briefed us on the bus and turned us loose. And the pickup and drop off arrangements were problematic . Poor advance communications. All worked out, but with confusion.

Great trip but poorly organised - The trip itself was great. Unfortunately, the organisation was not. I was supposed to picked up at 10am and by 10:35 I had to contact viator to sort things out since nobody had showed up but also I had not received any messages from the tour operator either. They eventually picked me up at 11:30 and even then it took a while for the tour to start.

Scam. Viator is a scam. If their tours cannot pick up on time good luck getting back to your ship on time. - Tour company was a no show. They claim they left at 9:45however our pickup time was 10:00. There were 4 other couples left stranded. It ruined a valuable once in a life time opportunity to see Rajkevik.
