The activity itself was...
The activity itself was perfect. Our issue was that Viator had us booked as a 9:00am bus tour and in fact it was an 8am tour. Not sure what happened there. Luckily we were able to go on the noon tour and the local company was wonderful about rebooking us. In the future, if I can book directly with the company I will.

Awesome tour, Maria was...
Awesome tour, Maria was superb! Very friendly, engaging, and had good knowledge of Iceland. The falls are a splendid site, it's Iceland so be sure to dress warmly and be prepared for rain. There is a lovely inn with coffee and donuts included in this tour :) There is also a cafe next door to stop in and warm up. I travel with my 75 year old grandpa who has a little bit of knee pain. The paved path to the waterfall is easy and doable!

Wonderful Trip
Had an amazing trip to these beautiful Falls. We booked independently from our cruise ship and so glad we did. We actually had time to spend there instead of being herded like sheep. Most importantly Kãri our guide was so informative, friendly and so helpful . Hilmar is an excellent driver felt completely safe with him. Followed by tea and cake at Godafoss Hotel a welcome touch. So thank you Saga, Kãri and Hilmar

A must see
Amazing trip. The waterfall is spectacular! We had sunny weather which was a blessing but watch out for the midges! The tour guide Corey was first class, informative, humorous and helped us understand Icelandic culture. Great bus and driver.

Don’t go chasing waterfalls…let Saga take you!!
Absolutely fabulous few hours… the perfect amount of time. Great tour guide, and comfortable coach. We had perfect weather and our guide was so knowledgeable. We loved it purely because it wasn’t an all day activity. Highly recommend Saga for day trips…you won’t be disappointed.

Don't miss Godofoss Falls
Our guide Keri was extremely informative and entertaining about life in Iceland, the history of the area, and legend surrounding the falls. Very enjoyable and memorable experience. We also had the luck of good weather and sunny skies. The free coffee and pastry was an unexpected bonus.
