Great day out! - We really enjoyed this. Gullfoss in particular is not to be missed! Loved the guide's commentary and dry sense of humour. Pick up and drop off very smooth. No complaints at all.

Amazing - Landscape was just amazing and, even though it rained, we were able to see everything. While driving, the tour guide explained the history, myths and science behind the nature around. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic trip - This was a small group trip and our driver Christina was absolutely amazing! She was informative and good fun and we had many laughs on the bus with her. She also did a few extra stops for us - visit to the geothermal bread making, stop at a farm for ice cream and a chance to feed the Icelandic horses along with the usual stops. Plenty of time at each stop. We were a group of friends and this was the highlight of our trip . I would highly recommend booking a trip with Christina. She made this trip so special and memorable .

Great trip - It was a really interesting trip and we got to see loads of different parts of Iceland. We took 3 teenage boys on the trip and they get bored easily and even they enjoyed it so it must have been good. The tour guide Nicola (I think) was great and told us lots of different facts. She made the trip really interesting. The small tour was better as there were lots of different stops and you didn’t have to wait for loads of people to get on and off the bus.

Great tour - We have had a great tour because of all the amazing places we have seen. The only thing we didn't like was a very talkative driver. He talked constantly, which was tiring.

Spoilt by other ignorant guests - A great tour spoilt by those who can tell the time. Stunning scenery and sammi our guide was informative only let down to him was him using his phone whilst driving. Tour was spoilt by the same people constantly not turning back up on time even after being told. This meant we had less time at other venues and missed out on the horse stop all together. Those that were late at the lunch stop should have been left there. We had to drive back past after being at next location and they could have been picked up then. I would recommend this tour to anyone. But I hope you don’t get rude ignorant people on your tour

Do Not Miss This Activity! - The excursion led by Christina was informative, intriguing and a must for anyone visiting Iceland. For me, the hot spots we visited with a much detailed description by Christina gave an insight to the present geothermal activity. It was a long day with many pit stops at eateries, and a lot of relaxed walking. Yes, I would recommend this amazing activity.
