It was an amazing experience. Our tour guide Andres was a really nice man. He was vey knowledgeable about Iceland and knew a lot about the history of the Golden Circle. The tour was by very special. The operator was Mercury Grail and Andres is the Manager . He took us to the Blue Lagoon. He was patient and allowed us to take our time. It was a very personalised tour just me my husband and our two children and Andres. It was snowing during the G/C tour but he took his time to drive and we felt very safe. I would recommend you try it.

One of the best tours I have ever been on! My wife and I traveled to Iceland to celebrate her birthday. We looked long and hard into a personalized tour that would allow us to see all Iceland has to offer. Andres went above and beyond to make sure we enjoy every minute of your trip. From the details to the stops this is a must do when in Iceland! Thank you for the trip of a lifetime Andres!

Absolutely fantastic and worth every penny. Recently went on the private day tour and had a wonderful time. Andreas was incredibly knowledgeable about the area as well as the local history and mythology of Iceland. Organising it was a breeze with excellent communication from the business. I really appreciated him going above and beyond, to make sure my mother who is an older woman was comfortable the whole time. We saw some excellent sights, took a walk by the tectonic plates, and visited a fantastic ice cream shop. Best of all we were allowed to move at our own pace and never felt rushed or intruded upon. Will definitely book again the next time I'm in Iceland. One side note I recommend booking directly via the website as you not only get a better deal but you can communicate directly and ensure you get exactly the tour you want.

This trip was awesome even though it was very cold and windy. The scenery was beautiful with the snow! Andres was so flexible and knowledgeable. He was able to change the itinerary because of the weather and it turned our trip into a wonderful day. Ending at the Blue Lagoon was perfect. If we get to come to Iceland again we will definitely go with Andres at Mercury Grail!

I want to thank Andres our tour guide for being so accommodating and caring towards our family. We came with our one year old son and he was very understanding and gracious. He knew all the best spots and was very easy to work with. We went to the blue lagoon the next day and he arranged something very special for us. We cannot thank him enough. If I come back to Iceland I will book with Andres and mercury grail again.

We arrived super early from a long flight from the US. Andres made a customized tour to make sure we saw everything we wanted on our list with a nice relaxing end to the day at the Blue Lagoon. He was a superb driver and had so much information on all the sites. Thank you Andres for making the first day of our trip one of the best. All the best, Marc and Beth

Great tour. Experienced driver. Definitely recommend this full-day tour to experience the Golden Circle. We visited both the Blue Lagoon and Secret Lagoon. For those who want to bathe, I recommend the Secret Lagoon

Mercury Grail (and owner Andres) is an outstanding private tour company. We designed a tour for our interests. We had an outstanding day, small crowds, and great weather. Thus, we were ahead of schedule but rather than taking us back early Andres added a visit to a geothermal plant we had interest in and a visit to the Perlan Museum. Andres was continually explaining the history of the area and the sites we visited which provided us with a deep understanding of what we saw. We were so glad we chose Mercury Grail and not another. We highly recommend them.

Andres was amazing from the beginning to the end. He came a pick us up on time. The driving was smooth even though the weather was not helping. He made sure we were comfortable during the whole trip. I travel with my daughter (7 years old) and my nice and he was always making sure that everybody was happy with the excursion. The weather was not the best, so he change part of the order so we could enjoy everything. He did some extra stops so we could take some amazing pictures and videos. I would recommend Andres and his tours to anybody that wants a very personal experience! You won’t regret it

My husband and I had the best time on our golden circle tour with Andres! He shared so much knowledge with us and was very accommodating during the duration of the trip! We caught all the sights and even had time to stop and see some Icelandic horses. Definitely a great way to check out the golden circle sights!

You cannot predict the weather in Iceland. Andres tried his best to reschedule and our family enjoy the trip very much. We have an unforgettable evening at Blue Lagoon.

We went on the golden circle tour with mercury Grail, our guide Andres was brilliant. We took a private tour, and got to see all beautiful landmarks that make up the golden circle. Andres was very knowledgeable about the history and the sites we visited. He went above and beyond to accommodate us and was polite and helpful throughout our tour. Very highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic day out. Andres is unbelievably knowledgeable about Iceland. We were treated to great facts and tips about all the sites and landscape and even elves! He is flexible, accommodating, passionate about his job and a great conversationalist. Will definitely book him again for a northern lights tour next time.

Andres really went out of his way to make our day great! Even with all of our last minute changes and accommodation needs he just jumped into action and made it all happen. We had such a great time and really enjoyed his company. Thank you!

Our two days in Iceland were magical. So glad we picked a private tour with Andres. We did a 2 day tour that included the Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon, and the South Coast. He told us the story behind each site, stopped when we saw horses and sheep since he knew I was wild over both, let us start later on day 2 so we could sleep in a little later, and let us spend as much time as we wanted at each site. At the Black Beach he suggested we get coffee first and let the rain and clouds pass and he was right! as we caught a beautiful sunset. At each stop we saw folks herded on and off a coach bus and I am so glad we did not choose that route. I am also glad we chose not to drive as it allowed us to relax and enjoy the view. I highly recommend Andres. Thank you Mercury Grail for a wonderful trip.

Andres two day tour was fantastic. we were on a cruise ship that docked for 2 days so we had lots of time to see all the sites.Andres took us the oposite way the cruise ship tours went so we visited sites with out crowds also with his car we could travel on roads that the large buses could not go.The places we visited and the scenery made us think we were on another planet - just great. He was a super guide with lots of stories and historical knowledge. We would recommend this tour to all who would enjoy a private guided friendly tour.

Our day with Andres in Iceland was wonderful. I traveled with my mother, and 2 year old child, and Andres was very flexible and accommodating to our varied needs. He is very friendly, and knows a lot of interesting information about the places you visit. We saw so much in one day, and had an incredible time. Would definitely use Andres at Mercury Grail again if we come back to Iceland.
