Our tourguide Einar was fantastic with great knowledge of more or less everything. The tour by itself was great when you have one day to explore the island. Thank you Einar for a trip beyond expectations.

Amelia made the tour very special. It was a wonderful day with weird weather and great views. We started at the secret lagoon and did the circle opposite of most people. This helped to reduce the crowds. I really appreciated this.

This one seems to cover many of the same spots as similar tours but in reverse and with the lunch at the tomato farm. Those seem like worthwhile differences as the lagoon and national park were not as busy as we'd expected. Our host and driver, Fannar was funny, affable, knowledgable and a thoughtful driver. The small 11-seater coach was comfy and ideal for solo travellers like me as well as couples. The stops are well established on the tourist trail but its still handy to have a guide you can ask questions of. Not just about the specific locations but on Icelandic culture. I chose Hidden Iceland for another tour the next day and am glad I did - they clearly know how to do good small-group tours.

We had an exceptional experience with our knowledgeable guide Fennar. Enjoyed expansive, stunning views and waterfalls; secret lagoon with feet-soothing lava gravel (you'll see); and lunch at the tomato greenhouse (much cooler than it may sound). Highly recommended.

Just enough time at each stop to enjoy but not get bored. Great variety and selection of local attractions

Great golden circle tour with Martin. Super informative with a fantastic lunch at the tomato greenhouse. Stunning geyser and just jaw dropping landscape. Small group.

A great day trip, taking in the main golden circle sights but with the added bonus of a dip in the secret lagoon and a lovely lunch inside the tomato greenhouse (with a short talk about the farm). Our guide, Arne, was great, sharing information and stories as we went along. Our bus, (Freddy) was also great with huge windows, WiFi and comfy seats with belts. Getting to the secret lagoon early is great, as we avoided the very busy time. The stops in the afternoon were amazing, all the usuals on the main tour, so not particularly 'hidden' but the small group tour made it feel more personal. Thank you so much for taking us to see some of your beautiful island.

We spent a week in Iceland with Hidden Iceland. They planned our trip from start to finish - transfers to and from the airport, accommodation, and all the tours we did. The week away was honestly one of the best we’ve ever had - Trip Advisor should create a 6 star category just for this operator. And it’s also a perfect destination for parents and their sometimes (?) difficult to keep entertained teenage kids. First the service - Agata (who organised everything) was really great. Her communication was excellent and she tailored everything to what we wanted, giving very good advice, including changing a day’s plans late on due to the eruption. Everything was on time and as planned all week and she always contacted us when she said she would. The accommodation options were also good - Reykjavik Saga and Fosshotel in Reykholt. Second the tours - we did two small group tours, ‘Fire and Ice’ and ‘Golden Circle’. Both were great days and our guides Ragnar and Chris knowledgeable, attentive, and funny. We’d recommend both of them. We then did a private tour for 3 days to places like Reykholt, on and in a glacier, to beautiful waterfalls, hot springs, a goat farm, and a stables where we saw Icelandic horses (tip: don’t call them ponies or you can offend people 😆). On the last day we went around the Snaefellsnes Peninsula - this was because the Blue Lagoon was closed due to the eruption - but we lucked out as it was stunning. I’d urge you to visit this ‘mini Iceland’. I want to save the best for last though - our guide for this part of the trip was Loftur - man and legend - I hope you are lucky enough to get him to show you around such a beautiful country. He stayed up late one night so he could call us when the Northern Lights came out - it means we saw them at 1am. Now that is 6-star service. I don’t usually write reviews like this but it was truly excellent. Thanks Hidden Iceland for the trip of a lifetime.

Honestly this is the best tour operator we have ever come across. The small luxury mini bus is such a comfort and safe way to see this beautiful Country

Unlike anything you've experienced. This is a huge greenhouse with at restaurant. What a departure from the stark landscape outside! Our guide, Einar, helped us with menu selections to share. The bread and soup would be worth a visit alone! Everything we ordered was exceptional. Even the odd sounding tomato beer was delish. The service was prompt and friendly and the ambience was fabulous. A once in a lifetime experience.

I first want to mention that our guide was Robert, and while we had a wonderful itinerary, and great sights to see, he made the trip truly extra special. Robert has a genuine desire to make sure each participant has the best experience. He is patient, very professional, very knowledgeable, a very safe driver, and it is evident that he very much enjoys what he does each day. He also tailored the itinerary a bit to avoid crowds (of course, checking with us for approval) for which we were all very grateful. I’m also going to make mention of the music. Oh, and I forgot to mention that Robert is generous, as well! At lunch, he knew I was really torn between the ravioli and the tomato soup. Shortly after his meal arrived, he handed me a plate with a significant amount of ravioli on it. He insisted that I have it~ so I indulged…and I enjoyed every bite! How kind is that!? I’m also going to review the company, overall, because even from my very first correspondence months ago, with Emilie, I’ve received nothing less than excellent communication. And from our first phone call, I was quite certain that this was the company I was going to choose for my GC tour. But, because I leave no stone unturned, I spoke with many folks at different companies, as I was traveling solo and wanted to make sure I felt safe (as well as relaxed) during the periods of being in route. The tour itinerary does not feel rushed at all, there is ample time at each stop. And, at least in my opinion, everyone I dealt with seemed to take great pride in providing an excellent experience for their guests. This was a short trip, and every moment was precious. Hidden Iceland did not disappoint, in fact, they even exceeded my expectations. I may be returning in the spring, and I’m already looking into another tour with them. And, while I had never even considered it, Robert just may have convinced me to get on a glacier hike with Hidden Iceland! Thank you to you all for a 5 Star experience!

This is my second Golden Circle Tour in slightly over a decade, and by far the best. I was traveling with a friend that had never been to Iceland, so I researched carefully to get a company that seemed a bit smaller, given the armies of tour operators for Golden Circle tours available. They keep the group small and we actually had two guides that day - Amelia and Arna (Hidden Iceland does shadowing with guides as a way to help build their skillsets I guess). They both were excellent. One thing they did was consider the order of when they were taking us to different sites, so we could get good photos or be in a location when it was not as crowded. Example - we went to the Secret Lagoon last in the day. It was less crowded and was a great way to unwind after touring all day. They keep the groups small as well, and while no one likes being trapped in a van with 17 strangers for nine hours, it was made far more tolerable by having a smaller vehicle, breaking up the trip, and even having a lunch in a tomato greenhouse. That stop which I wasn’t planning on being interested in turned out to be really neat and lunch was lovely. Both guides were very engaging and good conversationalists - they didn’t just stick to memorized stale content. 100% recommend!!

What an amazing tour! Had the most amazing day making memories seen the beautiful scenes of Iceland. Could not recommend this tour more, it is worth every penny. Chris was our tour guide in the day, he was filled with so much knowledge and made the tour even better!

Took Reykjavik Outventure for this tour. The sights were stunning and the tomato farm was worth visiting! I highly recommend this trip!! Our tour guide/driver Michal was outstanding!! Loved every moment of this trip and would love to do it again with the same tour guide (Michal)

The golden circle platinum tour today was brilliant despite the questionable weather. It was an absolute pleasure to have fellow foodie Einar showing us round, with his great restaurant recommendations, fun Iceland culture facts and expert driving skills. The whole trip was just what we wanted. The whole day was well paced, unhurried and relaxed without getting impatient to move on.

An epic adventure with Aniar (sorry can’t remember the spelling)! This trip is fantastic. We were lucky to have only a small group of 6 on our trip so it felt very special. Aniar was very pleasant and knowledgeable about all that is Iceland. He treated us like VIPs and ensured we were well fed and watered and also gave us crampons to stop us slipping. The trip was one of the many highlights of our holiday and something we will forever remember
