The help desk at BSI had a kind employee who made our experience fantastic from moment one! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this trip (the soup changed my life) and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND requesting Gus as your guide!”
See Thingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss, then soak at Fontana Spa and taste rye bread baked in Iceland’s hot ground.
“We loved the primary destinations - Gullfoss and the Geysir was especially amazing. Also really enjoyed the extra stop at the Tomato farm - words can’t do it justice, but make sure you have a Bloody Mary and/or a bowl of Tomato soup - it is the absolute best I have ever had, anywhere. The mid afternoon stop at the Fontana spa was perfect - enjoyed all the pools, the cold lake plunge and the Hot sand baked Rye bread with smoked trout. A truly memorable day.”
Review of the Golden Circle and Secret Lagoon tour from Reykjavik, with itinerary details, value advice, guide quality, pickup tips, and honest drawbacks.
“exactly as advertised, though "small" was 19 people (full bus) on our tour. under an hour bus ride between sites, bathrooms and snacks were available at all stops (helpful for the 5 kids traveling with us). secret lagoon was the highlight - much more authentic than blue lagoon. being early january, we had very little light for our first stop - wish it had started ~ 30+ mins later so we would have had more light to view the plates and park (but sounds like this is not an issue if you are traveling outside of December & January)”

Review of a private Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon day trip from Reykjavik, with practical advice on sights, costs, timing, and guide quality.
“Margarida picked us up from the airport and took us to the Blue Lagoon and kept our bags for us while we traveled the Golden Circle with Andres.

Explore Lake Myvatn, Dettifoss, Godafoss, lava fields, caves, and hot springs on a small-group day tour from Akureyri.
“Our guide Nordbert was amazing. He cared for everyone in the group and was very cautious about the weather conditions all the time. He even provided the group with spikes for the slippery terrains around Goddafoss and Dettifoss. He also told us so many curious facts about Iceland. Not the whole group wanted to visit the thermal baths, so he immediately found another thing for us to do. I would recommend this experience to anyone!”
