- Geysir - From Þingvellir, the journey continues along the mountains to the famous geothermal hot spring area near Geysir. While the original Geysir is currently inactive, its neighbor, Strokkur, erupts every 5 to 10 minutes.
- Gullfoss Waterfall - Known as the Golden Waterfall, Gullfoss is sure to impress. It consists of two separate cascades, measuring 11 and 22 meters in height. On sunny days, a rainbow often appears, offering a chance to make wishes that might just come true!
- Faxi (Vatnsleysufoss) Waterfall - This is a stunning and lively waterfall. Just above it is a traditional sheep fold, and nearby, there is an interesting salmon ladder.
- Kerid Crater - This beautifully shaped pseudo-crater was formed approximately 5,000 years ago and features a deep lake at its base.

I would hire her again for our next trip to Iceland - The tour guide, Xiao Juan (筱娟), was very nice. She recommended good restaurants and photo spots for us and provided a thorough introduction to Iceland’s culture, landmarks, and even its small animals! When we were leaving, she kindly gave us some of her artworks as a gift. She was very nice and kind!

Skilled, accommodating, knowledgeable- amazing! - Our awesome guide and driver Hilly was very accommodating on adding or changing stops. He also gave great recommendations on where to shop and what to avoid. He was also very understanding of my aging parents' mobility issues. Highly recommended private tour for a drama-free, chill tour! Bonus he was a very skilled driver as well.

A terrific vacation to a fascinating country. A tour with Friends of Iceland is the way to go. - Fantastic trip. So great to see waterfalls, ice bergs, glaciers, mountains, black sand, huge rocks. Gunnar was a great guide. He knows the roads, the places to see. He was a careful driver and really packed our days with adventure.He had great places for us to stay, fixed some great breakfasts for us, and knew good places to eat.

A Great Day in Reykjavik - My wife were scheduled to be in Reykjavik for two days, so my wife sorted a private tour for one day. Sage, our tour guide, met us at the hotel very promptly. Her tour schedule met our needs. Sage was very knowledgeable about the areas and knew the ins and outs of each location. We were able to venture to other places "normal" tourists could not. She also recommended great food to taste and even broke our schedule to visit a farm that had fantastic ice cream. My wife and I felt comfortable and safe while on this tour. Saga also assisted us on the walks to and from the waterfalls to ensure our safety.
Without a doubt, I recommend this tour company and specifically our guide. The eight hours flew by.
