Great circle and more - Pali did a great job taking us on the circle route with a couple of extra destinations.
Beautiful car, wonderful sites, lots of history and culture with excellent knowledge and stories.
He added in a tour of downtown Reykjavík, a working farm with delicious ice cream, and hot springs-cooked bread.
I would heartily recommend this tour!

Lifelong Memories were Made - Doing the private tour with a family of 5 was perfect! Our driver, Pali (not sure that is spelled correctly), was knowledgeable, patient and super friendly!!!!
We were picked up at 9am and returned at 5pm. We saw so many places, even stuff not listed like a dairy farm, a place to pet and feed horses as well as a tomato farm!!!
The weather was very unpredictable but for us South Floridians we got to experience a small snow storm!!!
Overall this experience was well worth every penny paid!! Highly recommended

So worth it to have a private guide. - We loved the flexibility and comfort of the travel. We could spend as much or as little time as we wanted. Our guide told us many great stories about the area and life in Iceland. Wonderful experience.

Do a private tour! So worth it... - We had a great time with our knowledgeable and funny guide - perfect for doing the Golden Ring on our own timeline, and while learning a lot about Icelandic culture and history in the 'in between' times driving. We really appreciated being able to take in all the beauty but not be on a conveyor belt of a tour bus, and laughing in between the sights. It was a wonderful way to scratch the surface of all the amazing things Iceland has to offer!
