Golden Circle of Iceland. Day Tour From Reykjavik

Iceland is spectacular, but what really made our tour of the Golden Circle so memorable was our guide, Sergei! I honestly cannot think of anything that he could have done to make it better! Sergei was prompt, kind, knowledgeable, funny, and considerate to any special needs or request our group had. We were a group of 3 and had a private all-day tour with Sergei. When we asked about the Iceland horses, he found time to stop and let us feed them. When we mentioned we like animals he added a stop at a dairy where we could visit the cows and eat the most amazing ice cream. Everyone in our group had a great time. Iceland is a vast and diverse country, the waterfalls, the lava fields, the crater....it goes on and on. We are defiantly going back, and I have already told Sergei we will be booking him again. On a personal note, thank you Sergei, you are the best and YOU made our day so special!!

Sergei… was an AMAZING guide. We learned so much about the history of the island and the history behind each location. We HIGHLY recommend!!!

This was our 2nd tour with Sergei - and it was another amazing tour! Sergei is a great guide. He shared his knowledge of the history and the geography of the area. He was very concerned about our safety and helping us to maneuver on the wet paths. My husband uses a lightweight wheel chair and he made sure that he could see as much as possible. He also made sure that he had somewhere to sit, whether in the car or inside a building, while we were doing something he couldn't access. It was a bit drizzly but that didn't stop us from seeing everything we wanted to see. The stop for ice cream was a hit and all proclaimed that it was better than the ice cream in France from Normandy cow milk. Lunch at the tomato nursery was also special! He has a great sense of humor and made the trip fun. The vehicle was clean, luxurious and really comfortable to ride in. I highly recommend this tour with Sergei as your guide - you won't be sorry.

Sergei customized our tour as we requested and it went flawlessly. Definitely recommend!

Our trip to the Golden Circle with Sergei was fantastic. We began, as the tour is listed, at the Thingvellir National Park, where we were able to walk along the Almanagja fissure. The Gullfoss waterfalll was as spectacular as described - with Sergei guiding us to a walkable trail close to the falls. He provided us with good advice as to how to manage it safely and took some incredible photos of us at the falls. We traveler to Geysir Valley and we stayed long enough to see several eruptions., with Sergei leading us to areas where we have great views of the area. We were amazed at the tomato greenhouses at the Fridheimar Greenhouse and our lunch there was delicious. Sergei provided us with some history of the greenhouses, their methods of production, and even showed us how bees are used to pollinate and keep the crops growing. A special little out-of-the way stop was for ice cream at a dairy along the way. The tour ended with a stop at Kerid Crater, which didn't disappoint - Sergei helped us hike to the top so we could experience the spectacular view and walk along the caldera rim. I was hard to believe we were able to see and do so much! The tour began and ended within the allotted time, but never felt rushed. Sergei was so considerate of our needs, was so very knowledgeable of the history and geology of the area, and took some fantastic photos of us. I would highly recommend this tour with Sergei!

Sergei was a fountain of knowledge on the geology, customs and history of Iceland. He was very accommodating on our tour and made sure that everyone was comfortable on our short hikes. We especially enjoyed the "Tomato Farm Restaurant" he took us to for lunch. It was a delicious meal and he spent extra time explaining how the tomato farming worked after our meal. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Its worth your time and money. Mark H.
