5.00A very full day, the snowmobiling was outstanding, you don’t have to bring ANY cold weather gear, they have you covered head to toe. Our driver for the day was Erik, fantastic tour guide, funny and knowledgeable. The hikes and the food and the geysers were all exceptional.

5.00A wonderful tour of the must see sites along the golden circle in Iceland. The one hour of snowmobiling on the glacier was fantastic and thrilling. Our guide Dori did a wonderful job. This is a small group tour with the maximum of 16 passengers. Although long in duration, it was beautiful, getting to see the rugged landscape of Iceland as we traveled from location to location.

5.00Great tour. Gudjon Jes was a great tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and entertained us the entire tour with lots of information. The snowmobiling tour was great but there were too many people and it would have been better to split into two groups with the slow and fast.
Great Experience.

5.00⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our Golden Circle and Snowmobile tour was an absolutely unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that credit goes to our tour guide and bus driver, Gudjon Jes. From the moment we set off, Gudjon made the journey feel both educational and entertaining. He explained every landmark and stop in impressive detail, weaving in fascinating stories about Iceland's history and geography that kept everyone engaged throughout the day. It was clear he has a deep, genuine passion for his country and its culture. What really set Gudjon apart was his wonderful sense of humor. His perfectly timed jokes had the whole group laughing and instantly created a warm, relaxed atmosphere. He struck the ideal balance between being informative and fun — never a dull moment! His professionalism was equally impressive. He kept us perfectly on schedule without ever feeling rushed, gave clear and easy-to-follow instructions at every stop, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of. A true gentleman in every sense of the word — humble, approachable, and genuinely happy to help. If you're booking the Golden Circle and Snowmobile tour, you couldn't ask for a better guide than Gudjon Jes. He truly made the experience. Highly recommended!
