Amazing experience, seeing things the UK just doesn't have. Beautiful landscape, the tour itself was astounding. The National Park may not sound much, but when you're there and learn the history, it is 100% worth it. Add the majestic Gullfoss waterfall, the natural Geysir's and its a day you won't forget. But, when also included is the Volcanic Kerid crater and a lovely dip in the warm, natural waters of the secret lagoon and seriously, what more can you want from a day out? What added to this experience was the fact we had an excellent tour guide, Jon. He was friendly the second he stepped out his vehicle. Very easy to like and get along with, unbelievably knowledgeable. He doesn't just answer questions, he expands on everything you ask, therefore giving you a great understanding of past and present Iceland, and educating you in a very friendly and informative manner. EXACTLY what I want in a guide. 1st class. As a City, Reykjavik (where we stayed) has enough bars and restaurants to keep you busy, but it isn't a City break place. I'd recommend staying there, but booking many tours outside the City, to see the real Iceland. As a black male traveller, with a white female partner, you have to be aware of the Country you visit and it's racial attitudes. I can say, I found Iceland to be 100% welcoming to us, the people seem to only care that you're a decent person and then go from there. A great refreshing attitude, that more should adopt. I would say to any black travellers, this is not only a safe Country for you, but a very welcoming Country for you. I wanted to visit for years, finally did and I'll be back, as so much more to do, I need to do the glaciers, boat trip to see whales etc etc... To finish, the people are great, the Country is great. I can only give 1 piece of advice regarding Iceland... GET ON A PLANE & GO SEE ITS WONDERS, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

We had rented a car but wanted the experience of a local guide for our Golden Circle tour. Jon arrived on time and helped us aboard in his comfortable van. His family was among the original settlers, and his cultural and educational background made the perfect fit for us. He selected beautiful and scenic routes, explaining geography, geology, history, and cultural aspects along the journey. Jon provided the experience and level of depth and nuance answering our questions with expertise and humor. He was attentive to ensure we spent the allotted time maximizing our interests, so the pace and timing was always perfect, including lunch and snacks at a local farmer's dairy and mushroom farm. We saw geysers, soaked in the Secret Lagoon hot springs, and traversed from the North American tectonic plates onto no-mans land, the European plate and back, crystal clear gacial water falls and lakes, and the historic Parlament governmental site. On returning he offered Restaurant suggestion based on our interests, and the food there was fantastic.

This was my first trip to Iceland and the first tour experience here and the day we spent with John, our guide, exceeded my expectations. He was welcoming, knowledgeable and well prepared to guide us. I felt comfortable with him from the moment we met. I said that I was interested in Icelandic language and he gave me a brief overview, answering the questions I had with obvious enthusiasm for his native tongue and country. Throughout the day John was accommodating, with a low keyed humor and eagerness to provide us with the best experience possible. His knowledge of the area is outstanding and at each site we visited John provided us with an excellent overview. Finally, I’d like to thank John for going beyond the agreed to limits of the tour. He brought us to another gorgeous waterfall at the end of the day and then offered to drive us to dinner. I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to this stunning country.

OMG. Trip was wonderful and our guide John was fantastic. He knew about a wonderful mushroom restaurant that was not overrun with tour buses. We highly recommend.
