We were in Iceland this past October for 8 days and had a private guide from GTI ( Gateway to Iceland ) He was very good, so have a look as I believe they also do small group tours.

We were very happy with our Iceland Horizon tour. The 15-passenger mini-bus was very comfortable and the driver/guide was excellent. http://icelandhorizon.is/the-golden-circle/

Another vote for a small tour!
We took the Golden Circle and Magical Nights tour with Icelandic Mountain Guides. It's an 11-hour tour with a small group of 8-10 people.
Posted pictures and our itinerary in my Iceland trip blog:

We used Grayline a year ago October for this. I don't know if it was the time or year or just luck, but we were on a large bus but there were only maybe 15 or so people total. Our guide was very good and we have no complaints at all.

Abbyo - you can easily drive there yourselves and in an ordinary car. The roads to and round the Golden Circle are fine for normal cars - and the terms of your car hire won't let you go off road anyway. it's an easy drive from Reykjavik and back in a day, and by May you will have plenty of light in the evening so you won't need to rush.

My husband and I rented a car in October and did the Golden Circle ourselves. We did not need a 4x4. We much preferred this way. It was at our own pace. make some great side stops, hiked to hot springs. It was a great day adventure

May is a great time to visit and drive yourself. Lots of daylight hours and little chance of inclement weather. I found driving in Iceland to be pretty stress free and it's easy to do a Golden Circle tour on your own.
