Popular Day Trips in Reykjavik

From start to finish we had a great day. The right level of knowledge imparted, great sense of humour, good team work from The Ice Man, as he’s known, and driver, sorry didn’t get your name, but you know who you are, you’re a great driver and speak excellent English!

Our guide was fantastic. He did not just tell about the attractions, but also history, culture and so on of Iceland and in a very informative manner througout the whole busride. This was my best spent money ever on a trip!

This was amazing! What an astonishing trip, we got to see so much whilst being entertained and informed on the bus. The driver was great, I felt very safe despite us driving through blizzard-like conditions. We also had a phenomenal tour guide (called Rock, and our driver was called Gummy Bear) who was very funny and full of stories about Icelandic culture and folklore. The pickup was smooth and easy, we had plenty of toilet breaks and stops for food and were given enough time at each location to explore and take photos. I would recommend taking your own food because (as is everywhere in Iceland) it is expensive at the stop. The Gullfoss waterfall was exceptionally windy to the point of discomfort so definitely prepare yourself for that, but it’s absolutely worth it for the stunning views and breathtaking scenery. The drop offs took a while as we went to every hotel and bus stop and ours (The Radisson Blue Saga) was one of the last, but I could not recommend this trip more!

This is one of the best tours we have been. Together with our 2 children (8&6) we joined the golden circle tour. The tour operator proposed us to be picked up from the central bus station, which offers also free parking, which was very convenient. Howser was the guide and Skuli the driver. Both of them real gentlemen. This is a must do tour as it covers the main highlights in the south of the island. Good rhythm and enough time for everything. The bus was not too packed and offered comfort. Howser (our guide) was very knowledgeable, kept a good atmosphere and the right schedule. He gave great insights about the places we visited and a lot of history and sagas during the drive. A real Viking with real virtue. Thank you.

Our guide from Sterna Travel, Klaus, was absolutely brilliant! He was so full of historical and geological information and folklore about the areas we visited. The Lava tunnel was fascinating and was a nice walk especially with the crampons supplied. The Golden Circle was fabulous. The Geysir was brilliant! We found this trip an amazing experience and the high point of our holiday.
