We gave a lot of thought to what we wanted to see in Iceland so we booked four days with BR and an excellent guide, Siggi. The first day was a tour of the Golden circle where we walked between the European and North American tectonic plates, saw an erupting geyser, thermal pools, and the amazing Gulfoss falls. The second day was our best weather and we used it to go to the Snaefellsjokull peninsula where we saw amazing vistas of the peninsula, fishing villages, a hidden black pebble beach, sea cliffs, a glacier, lava fields and waterfalls, including one not visible from the road where we were able to take pictures from behind the falls. On the third and fourth days we went to the south coast. On day three we saw more amazing waterfalls, walked to a glacier and took photos under an ice bridge, saw basalt cliff formations that looked like something from a science fiction movie, walked on a black sand beach and went to a spot looking into a deep gorge with, of course, another huge waterfall. The final day we got up close to the huge Vatnajökull glacier including a boat ride on a lake at the edge of the glacier where small parts of the glacier were floating all around us, a visit (accessible by a super jeep with huge tires) to an ice cave formed by run off from the glacier where the sun shines through the ice making the whole cave shine white and blue, a visit to another black sand beach where pieces of the glacier that had washed out to sea by a river were washed back up by waves.

In addition doing all of the driving, Siggi was great in arranging the trip to maximize the use of good weather days. He also explained the natural and human history of Iceland during the long drives. What we appreciated most was his ability to show us different approaches and sights that would have been impossible for us to find on our own. For example, he suggested we walk along the edge of a creek behind a 50 foot rock. It looked like nothing special from the outside. Inside was a small canyon into which a waterfall poured. There were so many more. We really enjoyed our trips with Siggi and loved the sights we saw.

We were scheduled to visit Iceland the first week in July but had to cancel due to COVID restrictions of USA residents to the country. I was dealing with Jon from BR Tours, who had coordinated 5 exciting days of private tours throughout Iceland. He is accessible, organized, knowledgeable, professional, and an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Upon postponed of the trip, Jon immediately cancelled all of the excursions, activities, refunds, and took care of everything in the best way possible. I truly look forward to visiting Iceland when things return to normal and I will absolutely be using Jon and BR Tours for all arrangements.

We took a tour with Beyond Reykjavik in the Summer of 2022. Our group was 9 people ranging from age 9 to 81, including four kids under 18. Jon arranged a customized five-day itinerary for us that included Snaefellsnes, the Golden Circle, the South Coast, and the Westman Islands, and he even let us explore Reykjavik on our own (with suggestions, of course). Along the way took many stops, and each one was more incredible than the last: waterfalls, glaciers, icebergs, and Diamond Beach. etc. We hit everything you would want, and Jon had all of the pertinent information about each site. From the time he picked us up at the airport, until the time he dropped us off at the end of the week, we felt like Jon made us a part of his family, and we had the time of our lives.

My family of 10 was planning a trip to Iceland, but had to reschedule because of continuing concerns around the COVID-19 virus. Jon reached out to *me* to make sure we received the refund of our original deposit. What an honorable and considerate gesture, and extraordinary customer service. I hope when we're finally able to rebook a future trip, we're able to use BR Tours, because I know we'll be in excellent hands. Thank you, Jon.

BR Tours is excellent..Jon help us plan the trip..we collaborized and he provided us with a detailed suggestion and summary,it was a holiday week (christmas,its when we usually do our trip and only time we are available) not a lot of tours are available, thank God Jon endorsed us to Siggi as our tour guide/driver..Siggi is the best..he knows all of iceland as well as the people..iceland can be very unpredictable with weather conditions and a lot of people warned us on going there during winter season but no regrets despite the changes in weather Siggi is an expert driver,never did we experience any turbulence in the car no matter how strong the wind or how dark the area..Siggi even provided us shoe crampoons which really help a lot walking in the ice..he scheduled all the sightseeing in time despite the short daytime during winter..we saw a lot of beautiful places because of Siggi,his timing and knowledge..the only thing we missed is the aurora and ice cave due to unpredictable weather nevertheless maybe next time again,surely we will go for BR Tours all over gain..highly recommended..thanks Jon and especially Siggi for keeping us safe,letting us see a lot of places and spending christmas with us..your the kindest and best.😃

Jon was fantastic. He listened to our desires during many planning discussions and recommended places and activities accordingly, for our 4 day tour. His discussions on Iceland’s history, as well as present living, brought true meaning to our visit to the beautiful country. Jon knew how to fill gaps in between any planned activities and kept us continually enriched with Iceland’s varied terrain. We highly recommend BR Tours !

We are a group of 9 seniors plus 1 almost senior. We had Jon from BR Tours as our guide; he is very accommodating. We had to start our circle tour in the afternoon due to the arrival time of the cruise ship & Jon came to pick us up at the port at around 2 pm. We were able to see Thingvellir National Park, Geyser, Gullfoss Falls & had a good 45 mins soak at Secret Lagoon in Fluoir just before it closes! We also had the lovely homemade ice cream at Efstidalur! Jon is wonderful & the van we had is very comfortable! Thank you again Jon for this amazing tour in Iceland.

A trip of a lifetime with Jon! 5 days of perfection for our family of 5. From the obvious to the hidden, Jon knows everything and everyone in this country. Adaptable to the weather and the abilities of the group from 23 to 60 years old. A truly lovely person and worth every penny.

We were two couples and hired Jon for two day trips. We saw almost all of the country in his most comfortable van. He is not only extremely informative but very adaptable to the needs or desires of each client that he accompanies. AND he is charming and enjoyable to spend time with together.
