Traveler reviews
Excellent tour company and guide Iceland
An excellent tour to see the highlights of the Golden Circle. Bus Travel Iceland was well organized and the minibus (small group tour) was clean, comfortable and in great shape. Our guide, Mikki, was excellent! He is knowledgeable, personable and friendly. He explains things clearly, answers questions thoroughly, and was a definite plus for the experience. Our tour did the typical Golden Circle stops, and added as options the Fridheimar farm (Icelandic horses and greenhouse tomatoes & vegetables). We did not have high expectations for the farm, but were very pleasantly surprised - they were both very interesting and lunch at the farm was very good. The usual sights on this tour (volcano crater, geyser, Gullfoss waterfall, tectonic plate junction) need no further accolades from me. They are all well worthwhile. For future tours, we would definitely seek out Bus Travel Iceland and Mikki if available.
Golden Circle Wonders!
An amazing tour of the Golden Circle with Axel. He was kind and knowledgeable and we had plenty of time and each site.
