### 5/5 — Loved this guide

*2019-07-21*

Used this guide for our Golden Circle tour. Absolutely loved it. It was like having our own personal guide in the car. Just wish there were guides for the south coast.

### 5/5 — Great tour of old Tórshavn

*2018-11-03*

Perfect length. Learned lots about the town. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Awesome App!

*2018-09-20*

Fantastic app for a self guided tour in Iceland. We opted for the Golden Circle tour - Neil was awesome! We could go at our own pace and even replay parts if needed. A money saver for sure. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2018-07-15*

Well done

### 4/5 — Well done. Easy listening.

*2017-04-23*

The tours go along at a reasonable pace.

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2014-06-08*

Rented a car and used this app to tour Iceland's Golden Circle. Used my ipad so the GPS couldn't work BUT it was awesome. Each site was (mostly) easy to find. Roads in Iceland were well marked and we saw and stopped at more stops then any bus tour. This app provided lots of information and history about each location, and being on our own schedule made the adventure pleasurable. I highly recommend this app for everyone!

### 5/5 — Felt like a private tour guide!

*2013-12-02*

We used this app while in Iceland to self drive "The Golden Circle" - Neil told us many interesting facts and told us when to slow down and where to turn.  The GPS feature worked with my USA based iPhone with no additional roaming or cell data fees.  All you had to do was walk or drive over a spot where there was information and Neil would come on and give us an explanation.  Between BlueCar rental and this app we saved hundreds of $$ that we would have spend on one of the tour companies.  Thanks for this great APP!!!!

### 5/5 — Great but lucky to find

*2012-07-26*

Used this app to travel around Iceland by car and it was excellent. Highly recommended. A bit of marketing advice though - you need to split this app into different countries and have the country name in the title as it will help App Store indexing.

### 5/5 — Really intuative and easy to use. Completely transformed how I travel around Iceland!

*2012-06-23*

It's like having the best tourguide with you in the car or when walking.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2012-02-26*

A great way to see explore the north, exciting revolution in travel!
