I canceled our trip last year because we were not able to go on the cruise. Also canceled this excursion but was NEVER reimbursed even after many attempts to cancel! I don’t recommend at all! Patricia G Siedlecki
I took the Golden Circle Tour on July 17th, and was warmly welcomed by the guide, Vala and the bus driver, Imre. It was a wonderful tour, and Vala was an absolutely fantastic guide with great personality and a great sense of humour. She shared information in a clear, engaging, and easy-to-understand way. She made the experience both interesting and enjoyable. Imre, the bussdriver, ensured we had a safe and comfortable journey throughout the day. There was a bit of confusion when we stopped to pick up some passengers. The guide had clearly informed them that they would stay on the bus until the next stop, where they would then need to get off. They forgot this, and as a result ended up staying on the bus for the entire tour. Unfortunately, they directed their frustration at the guide. I thought that was very unfair. She had already given them clear instructions, and it is not the guide's responsibility to remind this to the passengers multiple times. That is something passengers need to keep track of themselves. The guide remained calmed and did a great job in the situation. Overall, it was an excellent tour, and I would highly recommend it. A big thank you to Vala and the bus driver, Imre, for making it such a great experience! I hope to see you soon again
Simon P. was a great guide on the Golden Circle. I loved his sense of humor and knowledge about the island. We were fully informed for each stop and provided with adequate time for our adventures. The weather was perfect and the sunshine made the waterfalls sparkle and the everyone smile.
