We had a wonderful long day with Graham. What a delightful gentleman! He freely shared many experiences, history, and points of interest along the way. Many stops and all so very interesting. Some were short but we managed just fine. He is a kind soul, thanks for a perfect day!
One day trip to cover the diamond circle in Northern Iceland. It was very efficient and places we visited were amazing. 👏 👏
There were just 4 of us....no group so we got a very average old rattling vehicle we heard noise for the whole trip..... itinerary was changed a bit that the stop at Lake Myvtan was not done .....
Stunning scenery and so diverse. Came as part of a bus tour. Would recommend. Enjoyed the waterfalls and the rocky landscape.
Very great day tour which get around diamond circle. This take around 8-9 hours to complete. Tour guide was very good and informative, time for each place is enough to enjoy and walk around each place and quite flexible time. Overall very good value for people who come from cruise ship (like us) or want good day tour.
It was wonderful experience. Doorey was well knowledgable about the Akureyri Island and a wonderful person. Thanks!
Not very well prepared tour. Car needs pump during the tour, not very clean inside of car, car door step seems out of order, guide does not seem professional, no lunch time, etc..
Norbert was an excellent guide who was very entertaining and informative. It was really nice chatting to him, and he was happy to answer all the questions we had. The tour included all the highlights that we wanted to visit, and we had sufficient time at each stop. Norbert also kindly offered to take photos for us, and showed us the best angles and spots for great pictures! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in learning more about the history and folklore behind these stunning places.
Ármann was a fantastic guide for our tour. He is very knowledgeable about every aspect of Iceland, past, present and future, and in particular he is a geology specialist. He left no stone unturned in showing us so many unique sights on the Diamond Tour. We would highly recommend this fun and interesting tour to really get to know Iceland! Jess & Charlie
A wonderful experience overall. Our tour guide was amazing, and made sure we got to see so much of the Northern Icelandic landscape.
