I couldn’t fault this tour. This was my 3rd trip to Iceland and have used this company each time for my tours. While I did think that the northern lights tour was a bit squeezed in, I have done the golden circle twice and the south coast twice (both summer and winter) and have been very impressed with both. The trip I did in August (17th) was when things were quiet due to covid. They picked us up straight from hotel with no extra charge and also dropped us off where we wanted. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, gave us extra time at stops, also stopped at a horse farm so we could pet the horses and drove up the church in Vik so we could see the view and take photos. We had a thoroughly enjoyable day and nothing was too much trouble. They also answered any questions we had. I will be back and will do more tours with them!
