My family and I (four adults) recently took the Golden Circle and Sky Lagoon Geothermal Spa Tour from Reykjavik, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience! While there was a lot of time spent on the bus and less time at each stop, the destinations were absolutely stunning. Our guide, Darren, was fantastic—knowledgeable and engaging—and our driver, Helgi, expertly navigated icy roads and near-blizzard conditions, making us feel safe throughout the journey. The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the Sky Lagoon. I could have spent an entire day there! If you’re planning to visit, be sure to make reservations as they were fully booked when we went. Don’t miss "The Ritual," the spa's seven-step process—it’s a must-do! Another tip: try the lamb soup at the Gullfoss gift shop. It’s delicious and a perfect treat for a cold day.

Our Driver was Helgi and our "host" was Darren and they were both brilliant from start to finish. Helgi was an amazing driver and Darren was very funny, helpful, incredibly knowledgeable and informative. Darren went out of his way to find the answer to a question I'd had, when we were at the Geysir Centre, which was very much appreciated. He made the day so interesting and at the end was saying which other Gray Line Tours to take, what restaurants, bars and shops were well worth a visit etc. My partner and I very much enjoyed and appreciated Darren's input to the day and he and Helgi made it a most memorable experience.

Absolutely amazing! The views were spectacular on route and at each destination. The commentary and humour from our tour guide was informative and added greatly to the experience. Hats off to our driver too who ensured we were kept safe on the Icelandic snowy roads. Would definitely recommend. 10/10

Karen is a great tour guide! We loved our day spent around the golden circle. I would highly recommend the trip. The Sky Lagoon was so relaxing and just what we needed! Just a note….the tour ends but the Sky Lagoon is only a few miles away from the pick up spots. The driver was great unfortunately I cannot recall his name as it was Icelandic and not familiar to an American.

We had a great time on this tour, however the paperwork received stated 7 hours for this, but did not realise this did not include Sky Lagoon, we were out for 12 hours in total, it was worth it but take plenty of supplies. We were taken on the tour by Darren and Helgi. Darren was very informative and entertaining throughout and we saw some great sights, he certainly knew his stuff. The Sky Lagoon was beautiful and relaxing, we had the 7 step ritual included in our package, but only found where to go for this by change and thought it probably wasn't worth the money as felt quite rushed through. Overall I would thoroughly recommend the tour and the lagoon, but think twice about doing the 7 step ritual.
