Review summary

Engaging, location-aware audio guides with rich Icelandic stories designed for self-guided car tours. Reviewers cite easy navigation, broad coverage (Golden Circle and beyond), and cost-efficient pacing as major strengths. The library’s variety—Viking lore, elves, geology, and culture—appears to enrich trips and keeps passengers engaged. Some users note occasional reliability or compatibility hiccups, but overall the app is praised as a strong, self-led alternative to guided tours.

Pros

Rich, diverse audio content (130 stories) covering Vikings, elves, geothermal science, geology, and Icelandic culture.
Location-based, auto-playing narration that activates near stops for a hands-free, car-friendly experience.
Well-organized, easy-to-follow self-guided tours that let you explore at your own pace (notably the Golden Circle and other routes).
Valuable, cost-effective alternative to guided tours, helping you hit highlights without a pricey guide.
Engaging storytelling that enhances the trip and keeps everyone interested during drives.

2025-09-13	br*****	This app is absolutely essential for your golden circle road trip. We loved the way it can give you audio based on your location and only when you are close to the site it’s going to tell you about (even walking!!). We looked so forward to getting in the car and hearing some of the old Viking stories and learning about unique finds and hidden gems. 100% worth the price 🙏🏼

2025-08-14	Yo*****	We did the Iceland Tours on our last day and loved it! Well-organized, easy to follow, and full of fascinating stories about Iceland’s geology, history, and culture. The Reykjanes Peninsula with the Blue Lagoon was unforgettable, and the Golden Circle and Snæfellsnes Peninsula were stunning. A perfect way to explore at our own pace!

2024-09-30	Ma*****	We didn’t see lava like we’d hoped but Iceland was still beautiful! The Snaefellsnes Peninsula is maybe the prettiest place we’ve ever been, though Blue Lagoon is a close second. This app added a lot to our visit, especially since there would’ve been a whole lot of driving in silence without it in places like the Gold Circle! We’ll keep an eye out for more scenic tours like these!

2024-05-25	Ju*****	The 130 story audios through this app were delightful! From Elves to Ogres, lots of Vikings to geothermal science… and of course highlights about the sights to see on the way. Be aware that you will need two people though since the map doesn’t link to appleplay on your car… the audio does come through your speakers though, including verbal directions on all turns. (I gather it is apple that is restricting this access) When I needed input, I got a quick reply from customer service, too.

2024-05-08	Wi*****	We completed the Golden Circle drive in the one day we had free in Iceland. The information and stories in the app made the drive very enjoyable and provided useful information. It let us hit all the high points and took out the guess work of navigation. It is important to go the speed limit when the information points are close together. I highly recommend this for a self led tour.

2023-08-13	No*****	Looks useless to me. It only is about the Golden Circle, it seems. You get a demo: couldn’t quite make it work. For 12 Dollar or so you get the full version ( which I didn’t pay ). Get a guide book instead.
