This was a fantastic tour, and I would highly recommend the experience for anyone staying in Reykjavik, looking to get a quick taste of Iceland. Our tour was 10.5 hours, and it ran a little bit late. We saw 2 beautiful waterfalls, a glacier, a black sand beach, stopped for lunch and drove through cute little towns. 2 notes. 1 - it was a lot of driving packed into a short day. We knew this going in, but it was a lot of bus time, and the stops at most sights were less than an hour. If you're really looking to get time to explore, you'll need more time. 2 - Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, but would have been helpful if he gave more info about the day and things we were seeing, instead of some of the history of the country that wasn't as relevant for the full group.Thanks for the great experience.

The tour was great. Darren our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and nice. Our driver, Valli did a very good job driving us to all the places safely despite the strong wind. Great job to both of them!

Karen was a great guide and was very knowledgeable. She was friendly and gave us a good laugh. I really enjoyed the tour and all the stops we went to (even some we weren’t expecting!). The only thing was that the minibus was quite small and cramped, so driving between each site was a bit uncomfortable. Despite this, I would recommend this experience as the sights and experiences are 100% worth it!

Karen the guide and driver was excellent, credit to company. Shuttle bus to terminal for start of day a little bit confusing. But all in all great experience.

This trip was absolutely amazing, a lot to do with our wonderful guide Brandon. The sights were breathtaking and enough time was spent at each location. The stop for lunch gave several options and had vegetarian meals. Traveling as a single female I felt completely safe and comfortable.The only thing that was somewhat heartbreaking was the state of the glacier due to global warming. I absolutely recommend this tour, you will not be disappointed!
