Fun trip but caution weather can effect what you see

4.00This wasvan 8 hour day with the weather not cooperating the second and third water fall couldn't be seen because of the low hanging clouds and no substitution was made for the things we couldn't see. Interesting land scape and mountains were in one area fantastic. Because of the weather and locations the crowds were at a minimum. Lunch was chicken soup or hamburgers which was acceptable.
Excellent Diamond Circle tour

5.00This is a long day but it is worth it. There’s so much to see and do. I would take Lake Myvatyn out of the description because we didn’t stop there. We had enough time at Godafoss but I could have used a little more time at Dettifoss and Hverir geothermal areas. Kgartan was an excellent and very informative guide. I’m so glad we stopped to see the puffins. We saw more puffins there than I did in Seydisfjordur. I would take Husavik out of the description because we stopped for a few minutes but did not get off the bus. I wanted to see the bar from the Eurovision movie. Remember to take a water bottle and snack. You get a sandwich and bottle of water after Dettifoss but you need more water and some fruit or snacks.

4.00Spend a lot of time on the bus. The tour guide was not fantastic. He did not seem to have a good knowledge of the area. Also, we arrived back to the port and hour and twenty minutes past the presumed end time. We had to stop for gas. There were places that we stopped where we needed more time and other places where we could have spent less time. He was not efficient at enforcing time to get back on the bus.
Great Experience with Ivy and her Dad

5.00We had such a great time on this tour with Ivy and her dad. They were fun, friendly, and kept things interesting the whole way. The sights were incredible—Godafoss, Lake Myvatn, Námaskarð, Dettifoss, Ásbyrgi, and Húsavík were all worth the stop. What made it even better was how thoughtful they were. Ivy actually made two extra stops just so a few folks on the bus could see puffins, which was so kind and really appreciated. You could tell they cared about making sure everyone had a good experience. Would definitely recommend this tour if you want a fun, relaxed way to see some of Iceland’s most amazing spots.
Must see tour!
