 Verified The Driver knows…… We had a half a day to see as much as we could in Iceland. The driver asked us what we wanted to see and we said we would leave it up to him, but we prefer the South route.. He took us to every crook andcranny imaginable. We saw so much more than we did on a full day bus tour. He was absolutely phenomal. I would use him for every single tour from here on out. He absolutely made the most of our limited amount of time and added some.And also found the best bakery ever!  Thank you ever so much

 Verified Perfect guided tour We were lucky to get a tour on short notice with Josip. His flexibility allowed us to have a great evening with a tour to the geysirs and Gullfoss waterfall. Even the road trip was entertaining while filled with interesting information and insights to icelandic life.

 Verified Iceland at its best! On Saturday evening, Josip spontaneously agreed to take us on a trip to the Strokkur geyser and Gullfoss waterfall. It was a very pleasant tour in a very well-maintained Mercedes van. During the ride, he entertained us with his knowledge of the sights and Icelandic customs.

 Verified Thomas is amazing! We hired Thomas to take us on a volcano hike. When he picked us up he suggested we switch gears due to the weather. We followed his lead and we are glad we did!

 Verified A day well spent learning about the geology, history, and Icelandic life We took a private Golden Circle tour with EV Travel and can't recommend them highly enough. Our tour was led by Adrian, who is throughly knowledgeable about the geology and history of the area, conveyed through his excellent narration. Of course, the scenery was spectacular! I especially like standing on the highlands overlooking the rift valley with its deep fissures tearing apart the land. I really enjoyed connecting with Adrian on our shared interests in geology and Viking history. Adrian is very friendly and conversational, and we learned some of his full and interesting life.

 Verified Highly recommended We went gletsjerhiking with Thomas and we absolutely loved it! He was very flexible so we started the day earlier and made an additional stop. I always say it makes such a difference if you have a good guide; and Thomas was definitely outstanding! Enthusiastic, knowledgeable and very fun to spend the day with. I would definitely book another tour with Thomas if I’d be visiting Iceland again.

 Verified Perfect Reykjavík Tour! Thomas is a wonderful guide. He is very knowledgeable about the area and he shares this information in a friendly way that makes the day super fun. We enjoyed all of the sites that he took us to see and feel that we had the perfect balance of getting to see a lot of things in a short time, yet not feeling rushed through any of it. I feel he has a gift for really bringing the highlights to life at each spot on the tour.He provided a very comfortable Mercedes-Benz van It was very roomy and had comfortable, adjustable seats, I also appreciated that we were able to get out often, not sitting for a long period since we had just gotten off of a flight. Yet he was able to accommodate Our energy levels and mobility needs. I feel this tour is perfect because he is able to personalize it for each guest, depending on wants and needs.Additionally, we stopped at lunch for lunch at a great restaurant and Thomas was able to tell us more about the local food. I followed his recommendation for the lunch meal and was definitely not disappointed.I can’t wait to come back to Iceland and take another tour with Thomas. I highly recommend his service!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the absolute pleasure of touring with Thomas, and he was hands-down one of the best guides we’ve ever had. He struck the perfect balance of being incredibly knowledgeable, fun, and easygoing — bringing the history, culture and science to life while also making sure we were safe, relaxed and enjoying ourselves. Thomas was also wonderfully flexible and accommodating (even when we forgot our passports in our last hotel) adjusting the itinerary based on our interests and energy levels. It truly felt like a tailored experience, not just a scripted tour. His passion for the region, great sense of humor, and insider tips made every moment more meaningful — and more fun!! Highly, highly recommend touring with Thomas if you want a personalized and memorable experience — he’s great for all ages and adventure levels. We’re so grateful for the time we had with him!

Must book! Thomas is the absolute best tour guide in Iceland. He’s a fun and adventurous guide and makes sure you are having the best time. We did the golden circle tour, glacier hike, black beach tour and water falls. Our vehicle was super luxurious and comfortable!
