This was a 10.5 hour journey of pure amazement. This trip would be great for solo tourists or couples. It may be too long for families with young children. Our tour guide provided us with plenty of information about the sights and surrounding areas. I particularly liked that he shared his family connections to certain areas and provided interesting facts.
My tour was with the staff Bjorn and Albert, we had a great time. Tour was roughly 10 hours and 15 minutes long.
Fantastisk scenarie. Beautiful waterfalls. Nice knowledge by the tour guide along the way.
This was a great 10 hour bus tour. Our guide, Albert, was very informative and my husband and I learned so much about glaciers, volcanos and more. Our driver Bjorn got us safe and sound to all our destinations.
My sister and I had the most wonderful time!!!! Born and Albert were incredible and helpful.
It was an amazing experience. Albert and Bjorn were awesome. Would love to do this again next time.
Tour was amazing. Albert and Björn made the whole ride very memorable, with amazing jokes, and history lessons on the sites that we visited. This tour covers Iceland quite well, would recommend anyone short on time or don't want to rent a car.
Excellent trip and the guide Flosi was super good, friendly and very informative.
I had a fantastic experience on this tour, it was one of the highlights of my trip to Iceland. Our tour guide, Unnur, and our driver, Maggi, were both wonderful. Unnur was especially outstanding, she was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information about Iceland, making the journey both enjoyable and educational. I learned a lot from her throughout the day. The tour was well worth the money, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Iceland.
Very nice and interesting guides!
