Great trip. Gudjon Jess was a fantastic guide he gave us commentary the whole trip. We learned so much about the history of Iceland and its geography. He was informative and very funny. Our driver Lazo made sure we got to each stop off on time and safely.
Our guide Gudjon was fantastic! He know everythingh about Island and told us a lot of stories and legends of Island. It was very interesting. Then the stops: the Geyser, the Gullfoss waterfalls and finally the visit to the glasier with a tour with a snowmobile were incredible! Thanks!
The guide Gudjon Jes was very knowledgeable and courteous. He explained everything in detail and also answered all queries.

Optimal circuit with 3 very good and typical attractions of Reykjavik. My guide was Eric - a Spanish from Barcelona with great local experience, passed a lot of interesting information, friendly and excellent driver.
Our guide Steinum, was very informative. She and our driver Pawel went out of their way to make it a worth while experience.
Had a great time! Dori is very knowledgeable and had a lot of history and amazing facts!
Great experience seeing geisers, waterfalls, and the highlight was snowmobiling the glacier. I guide Dori was great and even took us back to the cruise port even know the drop off was the bus station. That saved us about 30 dollars not having to take a cab back. Would highly recommend this tour.
