We had a wonderful day. ... - We had a wonderful day. Monika, our driver/guide was outstanding. She was full of knowledge, very interesting, and with a great sense of humor. The popular stops were crowded and she arranged the route to avoid the crowds as much as possible. Also included were some extra stops including a chance to meet some beautiful Islandic horses, and have some farm fresh extra delicious ice cream. It was a great experience!

Lots packed into a day - Our guide was great and the tour gave us plenty of time at each stop. Lots packed into a day, including a couple of extra bits like ice creams and feeding the horses! Mini bus was really comfortable too. Worth the money to see so much.

A well organised friendly and inclusive tour - Had a lovely day seeing geysers, the volcanic crater, hot springs and the national park. Very well paced and informative. We even got to feed some local horses and got made eggs that had been freshly boiled in a hot spring.

Great tour. - This was a great way to experience Iceland. JK was a great guide. His commentary was interesting, funny and very informative. The sites he took us to very enjoyable, even in the rain! The eggs and bread cooked in the geothermal pool were delicious! The cost was also significantly below what a similar excursion would’ve cost us on our cruise ship. He picked us up right one. They said they would. I would highly recommend this tour.

Beautiful sights! - Beautiful waterfall, spewing geyser, views of glacier and walk around the volcano rim and an up close tectonic plate experience. Our guide was patient, informed & lighthearted. Could have done without his anti-former US VP Pence/pro LGBTQ rally commentary at the end.

Overall good value tour - A full day activity where we got to see all of the main sights albeit briefly. We would have preferred longer at the waterfall and not to have wasted 15 mins looking at 2 Icelandic ponies! Our guide was not a considerate driver to his passengers, this at some points was quite worrying. Overall a good tour, we picked up near cruise terminal which was ideal. Good value compared to ship tours and good communication from viator
