“Absolutely worth the long day trip. We saw some of the most beautiful tourist sites in the Golden Circle. We were happy with how clean the buses were and how smooth the transportation was. They provided a car seat, which was nice, but the car seat was a bit dirty. We only wish we had more time to spend in each location because it was a very quick stops even though it was a long day. Tour guide was great and gave us heads up on restroom stops and what each step had if we needed something. We liked on the way back, we were able to relax and enjoy…”
