Forever AMAZED by these sights

5.00By far my FAVORITE tour of my Iceland trip!! The tour guide is very knowledgeable and friendly. He passed around a paper where the whole bus had a chance to ask him any questions. The glaciers were AMAZING to see in person. Definitely book the glacier boat tour!! The only piece of feedback I would give is to set aside time for diamond beach, it seemed like only those who didn’t go on the glacier boat ride had time to see. Also - just a note that this is a big bus tour. THANK YOU!
Experienceful day long trip with Dennis

5.00The lagoon was definitely the highlight of this trip. Do the boat ride. It’s so worth it. Got up close to the ice and saw a seal! Harold was my driver and guide and was fantastic. Took us to a few extra spots as well
Great Day Out.

5.00Fun. Halli was a great guide. He helped my kids spot puffins and managed to add an extra stop to our itinerary. Pickup was easy and we got clear directions from the tour company ahead of time. We loved the boat ride on the glacier lagoon and spotted a seal hanging out on one of the icebergs.
Beautiful location, annoying guide.

2.00Beautiful locations and comfortable coach. However, the tour guide talked our ears off very loudly over the loudspeaker the WHOLE day with stories about his personal life. He asked for questions then gave very long winded answers that always included repetitive references to himself. Music was also too loud when played. I had a headache by the end of the day. At one stop, 2 people from the group came back 45 minutes late and the guide didn’t make any attempts to call or find them until we asked him to (30 minutes after we were supposed to leave). So to make up time, we were only given 20 minutes at the last stop, Seljalandsfoss. Very disappointing. Would absolutely not recommend this tour with this particular guide.
Great experience
