Guide to Iceland Reviews 

I was very satisfied with the itinerary Guide to Iceland created for me for my 8-day trip to Iceland. Everything went very smoothly and I've already recommended this company to others.

The weather forecast was dire (4 websites/app agreed on them). So, I contacted Guide to Iceland as I was pretty sure the tour would have been rescheduled, but they told me it was confirmed as it was considered safe and ENJOYABLE.
Maybe we have a different idea of what is "enjoyable" because just after few minutes from the departure we couldn't wait for it to end.
During the trip towards the glacier and the trip back we had to keep our eyes closed due to the snow/ice going into our eyes and pricking our skin like pins (customer service replied to me that in the adv it was indicated to bring SUNglasses, but anyone explained to us that they were needed also in case of NO SUN, so because there was no sun, any customers took his/her sunglasses; all of us parked in front of the meeting point so if the crew had told us the real need of sunglasses we could simply bring them with us).
We stayed some minutes in front of the glacier and we just saw for some seconds the head of a seal. No way to turn the rib to allow everyone to better see the seal, no attempt to find them in other places of the lagoon (even if we saw some of them from the parking when we arrived). Furthermore in the description of the tour it was mentioned that "in GOOD weather, gulls and seals often play on the ice". So, as the weather was bad, this was another reason to reschedule the tour (the next morning was so sunny and calm that it might have been a great option to reschedule).
During the trip back we stopped in front of a couple of iceberg, nothing more, no look for any seal. So to recap: the most of the time we were blind and see anything.
Both Guide to Iceland and the tour operator didn't want to risk losing money and they didn't care about the customer's experience.
My 2 cents: if you want to see seals and icebergs just pay the parking and let's see them from the land. You can also see seals in different spots in Iceland. To see the glacier you can drive to Svínafellsjökull Glacier or Skaftafell Glacier or Sólheimajökull and walk to arrive in front of it.
If you really want to do a tour, my last suggestion is to directly contact the tour operator without using an online platform. If you have direct contact they will care more and you avoid they start to passing the buck

Most compressive trip guide I ever had. Well planned and numerous options to experience this incredible country. Working with the staff was so easy. There were several hotels that we did not like and the staff provided more selections. Even experiencing the first blizzard as we started our journey did not faze us. We had a PLAN!

I had a wonderful trip with Guide to Iceland. Once I gave them my travel dates, they arranged everything from my hotel in Reykjavik to my tour around Iceland with Troll tours. I was given vouchers for every transport and extra, from the bus waiting at the airport when I arrived to take me to the Blue Lagoon spa to the bus back to the airport at the end of my trip.

The 8-day Troll tour around Iceland was an incredible experience. We visited at least 14 waterfalls, including some of Iceland's most spectacular. My favorite was Seljlandfoss, which you can walk around behind -- soaking and exhilarating! The whale-spotting boat trip from Hauganes was also great, with plenty of spouts and surfacing tails. Another high point was the glacier hike. The only disappointments were the ice cave -- which was not the brilliant blue ice seen in photos and which I'd been expecting after the blue ice crevasses on the glacier and the glorious baby icebergs at the glacier lagoon and the Diamond beach --- and sadly no sight of the Northern Lights.

I can't recommend Guide to Iceland highly enough for their seamless arrangements throughout my trip. If I go back to Iceland -- which I hope to do someday -- I certainly will use them again.

Car rental pick up was smooth and easy, accommodations were great. Guide to iceland made the trip so easy to plan.

Staff could coordinate with relevant tour company and respond to my request promptly.

I’m so happy I found Guide to Iceland. I truly felt like I was on a vacation. The entire trip was seamless and I couldn’t have planned a better itinerary on my own. Definitely worth every penny. Will definitely book again with GTI when I return.

The planning, options, prices, and support were all top notch! Highly recommend using them, especially for your first trip to Iceland.

Overall the trip was GREAT!!!! We did the 9- day ring road drive. Your guide listing what to stop and see was so nice and easy to follow. Paying for parking everywhere was a pain. For a fee maybe you could offer some sort of Parking card with a preloaded balance. We did get 2 parking tickets. We thought we had paid but at one of the glaciers and downtown Akureyri but we really struggled and obviously did not connect correctly. Also, the link you provided with directions to return the rental car kept taking us to an airport restricted security area.

I will and already have recommended Guide to Iceland to several friends. Icelandic natives were so friendly, walking food tour of Reykjavik was perfect on the day we landed as we pushed thru jet lag and Sky Lagoon was wonderful! Beautiful country!

Everything was done for me. Hassle free and the suggested stops were great. Didn’t feel rushed and everything was just easy!

My experience with Guide to Iceland was excellent!
They were very responsive to my questions both before I left for my trip and while vacationing in Iceland. I found the prices to be fair, and on par or less in some cases, with other companies.
I highly recommend using Guide to Iceland for your next trip to Iceland!

I did the Small Group Snæfellsnes Peninsula tour through Guide to Iceland and had a wonderful experience from start to finish.
The tour covers so much in one day — Kirkjufell mountain, the seal colony, black sand beach, the famous black church and Snæfellsjökull glacier. The small group size made it feel personal and unhurried.
Our guide Cora was the highlight of the day. She was knowledgeable, engaging and genuinely passionate about Iceland’s landscapes and folklore. She made the whole experience feel special rather than just ticking off tourist spots.
As a solo traveller I really appreciated her warmth and the relaxed atmosphere she created within the group. It was exactly the kind of day I needed.

Excellent guide, well timed trip and never felt rushed, saw all the highlights I planned to see, plus some more

The coordination of all the different tours was perfect!!1

The way the team managed the communication with the agencies that offered the different services was great. We could reschedule our transference to the airport to an earlier hour with no problems

I booked a self guided tour and it was incredible. From day one, Guide to Iceland was helpful and very detailed with the trip. They emailed us a detailed well organized schedule for each day of the trip. The car we rented was also very good and it included wifi. I recommend Guide to Iceland to everyone.

Everything was as posted. Excursions well planned, on time and as expected. Loved not being locked in with one tour company and many options. Was able to customize my experience and thus had a great time.

I regret booking with this company. Starting with arriving, I was supposed to go straight to the blue lagoon from the airport. Unfortunately there are only 2 busses that go there each day, and my flight was scheduled to land after the first bus left, but 3 hours before the next bus. The ticket is was given was for the morning, so I had to miss that experience. I took a bus to the hotel that was booked and was going to drop off my luggage because the site said they had luggage storage there. It did not. Noy a single person was working there. I had to sit around for a few hours until check-in time so I could go to my room. Only to find that its not a real room, there is no bathroom. None of this was shown during booking. I would have upgraded the hotel portion of this had been made clear at any point during booking. The first tour was terrible, the tour guide didnt talk the entire time, and made is feel like were an inconvenience. The second tour was actually good and the only bright point of this trip. I ended up booking a different hotel for my last night, because I was not about to stay in that same hotel. Booking with this company was such a waste of money.

Had a great time seeing Iceland. The tours were well organized and on time. Only issue was the driver from David the Guide on Golden circle tour was often distracted (texting, looking in backpack while driving) .

Every aspect of the trip ran with clockwork precision. From planning and booking our itinerary through to car hire, hotel and activities, there were no surprises or disappointments ( apart from the Icelandic weather!).
The only minor problem was finding and paying for parking near our hotel. I would recommend finding a hotel with free parking. (They tend to be a little bit further away from the city centre, but Reykjavik is easy to get around on foot.)
