It was a wonderful experience! Dooley was amazing guide! We had our family and friends on the bus. 18 passenger, very comfortable van! Dooley took the time to answer all questions and give us info as we had our tour. We took a picture with Dooley but I don't know if it got posted! Thank you for the great tour!
Dooley was very nice, and I enjoyed hearing about the differences between the Iceland of today vs when he was growing up in the 60s!
The tour was very nice. Our driver and tour guide Dooley was competent and organized and explained everything perfectly. I definitely highly recommend this tour. Stops are made at many places worth seeing. My highlight of today's excursion is Mount Kirkjufell.
Darran, our guide, was such a fantastic story teller. It's like listening to Garrison Keillor. 👍
This was a great group tour. It was a 5 hour, half day, tour and we had just enough time at each stop to enjoy the views, explore a bit, and take some pictures. Darren and Pablo were a great guide/driver duo, amazing energy, and shared fun information along the way and at each stop! Thank you for a great time!
Harold was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable, and pleasant. Thank you Harold
Swen our guide was great . It was a very good tour
It was a really pleasant experience, travelling with a very experienced tour guide. I love how our tour guide, Sigfus Thor, not only did he told us stories about local icelandic lores of trolls and giants, but he walked with us through the routes, volunteering to help us take family photos in multiple occasions. His time management skills were as elite as his storytelling, I never felt rushed or in a hurry of making it back to the bus. There was always sufficient time for sightseeing, including watching seals, basalt landscape and spectacular waterfalls. I truly and whole-heartedly appreciate his genuine effort of making this trip more enjoyable than I expected to be. Thanks SiggyThor ❤️
Very informative tour. Our driver/guide- Sigfus por Sigmondsson was very knowledgeable, jovial and helpful. Highly recommend him for the Iceland tours
Bus was comfortable, but not great. Sightseeing was very good. Especially our guide “Sigurjon” is a very god genteman. He took special interest in explaining everything in detail. He has an accent but it wasn’t bad. He answered all our questions. He escorted us to all attractions and narrated its history and importance. He also helped by taking some pictures for our families and indviduals upon request. He sure deserves a Five Star Rating. Thank You.
