Awesome one day tour of Iceland! - Andres did an amazing job of customizing our private tour to maximize our experience with limited time in Iceland. We had a 23 hour layover on our way to Rome, and this tour was perfect to give us a taste of Iceland and the desire to return. He picked us up from the airport and took us to see waterfalls, volcanoes, geysers, a lagoon, a visit to Reykjavik, and then back to our apartment near the airport. He is a wealth of knowledge, a very safe driver, and has a great personality. Highly recommend Mercury Grail and Andres to anyone visiting Iceland!

The best ever!!!!! - We had the best day with Andres doing the golden circle tour. He was SO knowledgeable and gave us all of the coolest, most interesting information that I absolutely didn’t hear on my trip in previous years with one of the big tour bus companies. He let us work off our own schedule and spend longer in some places, and shorter in others which was amazing. His car was clean, brand new and so so comfy, and his driving was safe and I felt extremely comfortable and in good hands. He also took great pictures for us!!!

The best of the best - Andres is knowledgeable, funny, respectful and accommodating. May be the best tour I ever went on. We were smiling the whole time. He patiently took photos. He even took me to a local gem wool store. We had a magical time. Highly recommend.

Golden Circle tour for a day - We enjoyed our day trip around the Golden circle very much. Anders is a well-seasoned and experienced guide, and he is easy company! Sadly, we were not blessed with the brightest weather, so photos are a bit dull, but the day was both informative and enjoyable.

Great use of money - Much better to have a private guide like Andreas. Set your own time etc. He was a welcome change to group tours.

Wonderful tour, great conversations - Andres was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable about the area, and we had great conversations in the car. As we were on a cruise ship, he adjusted the start time so that we could leave earlier and do everything that we had wanted to do, while getting us back to the ship in plenty of time. I would highly recommend booking with Mercury Grail for your Iceland excursion!

Wonderful private day tour during cruise ship stop - Andres was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable about Iceland and the area, and we had great discussions in the car during the drive. As we were on a cruise ship, he was very respectful of our time, both with pick-up and with the end, to make sure that we got back to the ship on time. I would highly recommend Andres for anyone looking for a tour to learn more about this fascinating country!

This tour was absolutely terrific - In a nutshell: - Communication upfront was super easy and the pickup went well. - It was the perfect tour to see and experience as much as possible in one day. - Beautiful spots in brief time discovered. - Highly recommend Andres as a Tour Guide for a special and unforgettable day As usual, everything stands and falls with the Tour Guide - Andreas was the best guide I ever had so far. He made it super enjoyable and exciting day for us - I feel super happy and lucky that we booked this trip with him. There was never any feeling of time pressure. We had the time as we wanted to spend on each spot. Andres is a truly kind and smart person with the right sense of humour combined with valuable knowledge to share. We had great talks and learned about the history and current situations of Iceland - we gained great insights, and it was simply perfect to get to know the country. Thank you for that amazing day, full of joy, knowledge sharing and fun! I will for sure book my next tour with Andres again once I travel to Iceland for the second time. Ebru
