Perfect timing while covering all the bases.

5.00Excellent tour with well timed stops. If you want to see Falls, Lakes, Lava Fields, and scenic Iceland, this covers all the bases. Ebba?, our tour guide and Cooper did a great job keeping us on schedule while explaining Icelandic life and detailing what we would see at each stop. Loved her passion for her hometown and country, made the trip worth complete. She also has a wonderful Icelandic accent that you can understand and learn from!! Just wish I could remember how to spell her name!!!🙁
Hidden gem

5.00This tour was a hidden gem. I was lucky to find it. We only had one day in the city, and this tour managed to pack an incredible number of experiences and sights into just six hours. My mom is 70, and she was able to handle almost everything comfortably, with the only exception being the descent into the Game of Thrones cave, which she chose not to do. Our guide, Anna, and driver, Kuba, kept everything running smoothly and on schedule. There were a few stops where I wished we’d had more time, but by the end of the day, I realized the timing was perfect. If we had spent longer at each stop, I probably would have run out of energy by the end of the day
Covers a lot in the short...

5.00Covers a lot in the short time in port! Fantastic guide Anna and driver took us everywhere and even added an extra photo stop. Great places to see and explore and a great way to see it if you’re just here for a short time.
