5.00A long day but well worth it. It would have been even better if we could have slightly more time at each stop. However, given how much distance we covered, I’d say it was the right balance. Gummi, the tour guide, was wonderful.

5.00We had a great experience on this trip. All the places that were covered were very beautiful. The only drawback was that we had a flat tyre while coming back and the driver was not having any expertise on the same. So we had to wait for almiost 1.5 hours til some help came. But otherwise it was a great one day trip and the driver/guide gave us lot of information during the trip

5.00Seeing this side of Iceland was such a treat. It was a long ride but I barely noticed with all the beautiful sights and our very knowledgeable driver giving us so many facts about Iceland’s history. To top it all off, we got the chance to see the northern lights. What a magical tour!

5.00It’s a very long day but the tour is amazing. You will see many places and learn about the history of those places while you drive there. The canyon is breathtaking and im so glad i chose this option. The lagoon was amazing even tho it was extremely windy and difficult to stand. The diamond beach with the huge blocks of ice outside is a must see. Our guide was very informative and explained everything en route, even took us to another lagoon that was not on schedule. Highly recommend this tour!
Highly reccomend.A trip to the south

5.00AMAZING!! Thord was an incredible guide and driver, and kept us safe under some sticky driving conditions. This is a very long day (0730 to nearly midnight !) but absolutely worth it. Lots of stops were made along the way to stretch our legs, grab a coffee, and enjoy the scenery. I advise bringing snacks, water, layers (in winter), and a good team attitude :) Definitely a must-do!
