We spent the most amazing day being driven in an enormous superjeep by the very lovely Ludwig through the beautiful landscape of Iceland.
An early pick up from our hotel and a quick stop en route to collect another couple, we were on our way through a snowy landscape and slow sunrise.
First stop Strokkur Geyser, an incredible sight which we were lucky enough to see spout twice I. Quick succession. Wonderful landscape of big land and sky with well designated footpaths and safely fenced off areas of steaming hot pools. The restaurant/gift shop area was very clean, bright and friendly with some high quality merchandise and good quality food & drink.
Back into the Superjeep, an enormous beast made from two huge American Ford vehicles. The Jeep was very high and extremely comfortable. The tyres could be deflated and inflated from the drivers controls as we motored and he saw the need for better hugging of the snow and ice covered roads. We motored along at a pretty fast pace but felt very safe with the more the competent Ludwig at the wheel.
Ludwig was very patient, knowledgeable and friendly with great in depth knowledge of Iceland, it’s history and environment. It was a fascinating trip as he told us about his country, everything from farming and politics to thermal power and food. An excellent companion for the day and a wonderful
Ambassador for his country.
We drove through fairly wild weather conditions to the glacier where Ludwig arranged for our extra clothing and kit. A thrilling experience in near white out conditions - very cold but definitely an experience not to be missed !
Back in The Jeep, Ludwig hurtled is along to the breathtakingly beautiful Gullfoss falls. Dropping us at the upper level car park , we enjoyed a delicious late lunch I. The excellent cafe and shop before slowly winding along the route to the waterfall. There are a couple of viewing areas from which to see this spectacle and one can descend the steps to a lower platform and decking. Kindly Ludwig has driven round and down to the lower car park area to collect is and head on our way.
Being early January, daylight was at a premium and as we arrived at Þingvellir National Park, the sun was slowly beginning to go down. How beautiful and peaceful a view overlooking the site where an ancient parliament met. Once again Ludwig told us about the history of the place, making it all come alive.
We headed back to Reykjavík( re-inflating the tyres as we hit the tarmac through the snow )
A most wonderful day filled with awesome sights of snow, ice, steam,water and the biggest of skys - breathtaking Iceland !
A must do experience for any traveller and we enjoyed it all the more because of the snow and darkness which made it feel even more spectacular .

Golden Circle + Snowmobiling was a real adventure. Our guide "Aussie" was super knowledgeable about Iceland's heritage and culture. We developed a real appreciation as to why Icelanders are so resilient.
The weather in the Highlands on the way to the snowmobile base camp got treacherous (strong winds and blinding snow) but our guide stayed calm and got us there safely.
The small group setting was ideal for meeting other travelers and "Aussie" provided lots of good advice about our upcoming plans for Iceland.
We would definitely recommend Amazing Tours for your Iceland adventures.

I recently had the immense delight of going on a Golden Circle and Snowmobiling tour with amazing tours iceland. Our wonderful guide Oli, who is a bit of a superman, skilled in seemingly everything and general good Samaritan, made us feel comfortable and safe from the off set. Oli being true Icelandic passionately shared his knowledge with us of this otherworldly island of fire and ice as we made our way up the glacier in a bad ass Jeep enjoying our introduction into Icelandic music via Oli's i phone playlist. From our first sight of the tectonic plates separating the continents between our feet, to the Geysir and waterfalls we found ourselves fascinated and awe-inspired by our surroundings. Oli was brilliant in dropping us off and directing us on a path to meet him at the next location which gave us the the opportunity to explore on our own which as a happy couple on holiday one values. We never felt rushed and no question or request ever unwelcome. As we neared base camp which was a very homely barn type cafe serving a good warm soup and string cup of coffee the anticipation for the big event the snow mobile ride peaked. We met with another group and all ascended to onto the glacier together in another bigger more insane and very bouncy jeep. Arriving at our destination in between icy peaks and miles of snow and ice we were kitted out with overalls, helmets and visors. Feeling a little like a space cadet at this point we received comprehensive induction and before long were scooting off deeper into the glacier. If I tell you the experience was mind blowing and humbling and exhilarating it would be an understatement. One off the bucket list hands down best experience ever! Again we were looked after so well and even as we were riding along at 60 mph in stark nature we never felt unsafe as we knew no mattered what could happen we were in safe hands. My boyfriend and I loved our day out with Oli and cannot recommend him and amazing tours highly enough. Many, many thanks to you! We are looking forward to our next encounter hopefully next year for a cycling tour around the island with you. Just a little more training to do beforehand 💖😜🤟

Fantastic tour!!! We left from their Skjol base camp and took their super bus up onto the Langjökull Glacier- all in near white out conditions. Our group of 7 then changed into warm riding gear (all provided, good quality) and got on our sleds for the trip to the ice cave. About 45 min riding each way and we saw an incredible glacier an mountains. Once we arrived at the ice cave, smaller groups could go inside while others explored around the mountain base. Similar ride back with opportunity for some speed and fun. Overall guides were safe and knowledgeable, the equipment was top notch and the views were spectacular. Would highly recommend.

After being picked up at Skjol camping cafe we were taken up to the glacier to start snowmobiling on the glacier with my wife and I on separate snowmobiles so that we both got the full experience. I had read that it can be a long queue of people all travelling slowly but we were in a relatively small group and when someone was going slow we just overtook them. Most of the time we were travelling at maximum throttle. A thrilling experience across the glacier for an hour with a brief stop for photos. We also had the chance to drive up and down slopes and test out the speed of the machines.
An unmissable experience if the weather is right.

We booked a snow mobiling tour through Get Your Guide with Amazing Tours and it really was.
We were provided with warm suits, gloves, balaclava and helmets and being expertly driven up to the glacier in the four wheel drive vehicle was great fun in itself.
The snowmobiling was a really great experience and we stopped for a while and our guide gave us plenty of information on the glacier. Unfortunately it was over too quickly and you just felt you were getting the hang of the snowmobile and could have spent more time on it.

Amazing from start to finish. For February we lucked out on the weather with clear sunny skies all day. Being geologists, standing in the rift is pretty exciting! The snowmobiling adventure was awesome with pretty powerful machines (we easily reached 70km/h). The small group tour was a real advantage too. One thing I would recommend is taking plenty of water and a packed lunch!

My family of 4 did the Snowmobile ride on Langjökull Glacier. We were picked up in Reykjavik City punctually for a 90min ride to Skjól where we switched to a superjeep that brought us up to the glacier base camp to wear our gear before heading out to the snowmobiles for a thrilling ride across the glacier. Kudos to the team at Amazing Tours for a memorable experience, with special thanks to Erla for her patience and steady presence. We had a late lunch back at Skjól before returning to Reykjavik around 5pm.

Golden circle with snowmobiling.
Our guide Bart was fantastic, his knowledge of the area and his humour were both a great part of the trip.
Bart worked as a team with his colleague 'his mother' to get us to the glacier to complete our snowmobiling activity. The drive to the glacier was something we have never experienced before, the roads were covered in snow and visibility was poor. the poor conditions did not phase Bart or his colleague. They both did a great job of getting us all to the glacier safely.
The snowmobiling activity was a great once in a lifetime experience. the guides were helpful and ensured everyone's safety.
We also got to see the waterfall, geyers and national park.
Thankyou Bart for a day trip we will never forget.

Amazing Tours are merely a Taxi Service. With fast and almost dangerous Driver.
We did the Whole Golden Circle , and Driver never said a word. It is my fifth Tour in Iceland , and all the others were great.
During this expensive Snowmobil tour, when returning our gear to the Base of the Glacier, the Driver also told us to Hang our returned gear , while he was having a sandwich .
There was a description for Lunch , which we could eventually Swallow at 15.00 hrs, as we were rushing Back ,. Arrived in Rejkyavik Half an hour earlier than the schedule, and what we paid for , while have been driving like Lunatics .
The Truck though was very good, and the places and the experience is immense.
Just do it with a different Tour operator.

Has anyone used them for the Northern Lights Trip? If so, how was it?
Written May 3, 2017
Yes we went I had have reviewed it on Trip Advisor. It was akin to going on a safari with many trucks in Africa. They had a front runner who found a gap in the clouds miles away and after a few futile stops to find the lights the forward party told us where to find them. Our trip started at 8 and ended at 2 in the morning after at least an hour and a half of seeing the lights. They also gave us some hot cholate laced with I think whiskey. with them.
