I did the Golden Circle tour with Monika, and honestly, she was absolutely class from start to finish. Her dry sense of humour was right up my street, she had everyone laughing all day but what really stood out was how knowledgeable and passionate she was about Iceland. You could tell she genuinely loves sharing about the country’s history, geology, and culture.
We visited some incredible places: Thingvellir National Park, where the tectonic plates meet; the Strokkur geyser, which was amazing to watch erupt; the powerful Gullfoss waterfall, which was breathtaking; and the beautiful Kerið crater with its vivid blue lake at the bottom. Monika even went out of her way to add an extra stop so we could see the Icelandic horses up close, which was such a lovely touch and made the day feel really personal.
She kept everything running smoothly, gave us plenty of time at each stop, and somehow managed to make the long drives fly by with her stories and witty commentary. We ended the tour at the Blue Lagoon, which was the perfect way to finish an already incredible day.
If you’re thinking about doing the Golden Circle tour, ask for Monika! she made it one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had! Read more

Attractions on the tour are okay, but everything felt very rushed. Tour guide said we had to follow him to glacier and black sand beach, but was out of site before half the people were off the bus. The visit to Vik was nowhere long enough, by the time our lunch was ordered and delivered, it was time to get back on the bus, so I ended up leaving most of it! In the guides rush to get going, he told the driver to go before everyone was back on the bus at this stop. I would rate this tour a lot higher if another 10 to 15mins was allowed at most stops.
