Golden Circle Fun and informative

Great tour where you can self pace , walk further or faster or take it a bit easier, walk shorter distances and explore the gift shops. All stops are at places where you Can get food. Driver Pawel was excellent, felt very safe. Albert our guide was very informative and had a sense of humour

Breathtaking Iceland

Great trip. Full day seeing beautiful Iceland. Margaret our guide was very informative and had a calming, easy to listen to voice. The scenery was incredible. An absolute must when visiting Iceland. Although there were crowds, it wasn’t too busy. I definitely recommend.

Don’t do it

Beautiful country but experience ruined by mass tourism and too much time devoted to logistics of picking up guest. Multiple bus drops/ pick ups/ waiting/ transfer of guests from one bus to another. All the places we visited had about 40 other coaches there. Queues for sites/ queues for facilities/ queues for everything. Really too busy to be an experience in nature. Just go and stand on a train in rush hour in Shanghai and you’ll see the same thing.
