5.00ELLY was the best tourguide we could imagine! She is so kind and makes clear instructions so everything goes well and easy. She told us a lot about the region and the spots we went on.

5.00The entire experince was wonderful. We got to see all of the main sights and Eliy our tour guide was both informative and very funny. While she kept the entire group on schedule (so as we didn't miss anything) we never felt rushed. We went early January so while it wasnt very icy it was quite cold outside so skii gear, thermals and good warm (and waterproof) boots are a must. However, the bus was very comfy and always cosy (ideal for warming up after being outseeing the amazing sights, or relaxing post lagoon dip) While there was enough time to take in the sights and snap a few pictures the trip has most certainly inspired us to come back to try out some of the other activites available and hopefully get to see the country during a different seasons. Go raibh mile maith agat Eliy as na lánúin hEireannach Aisling agus Brendan

5.00Our guide Elly was very informative and accommodating to every guest. The duration of stops was spot on. Geysers and the waterfall were great to see. Having a swim in naturally heated water during -10°C day was odd but refreshing. Great day out,
Phenomenal

5.00Absolutely phenomenal day from start to finish. We started off watching a beautiful sunrise at the national park, saw the oldest geysir and the biggest most impressive waterfall i have ever seen or am likely to. Elly our guide was friendly, informative and ran the tour with efficiency and professionalism. Thankyou 😊
I really recommend

5.00My family did this tour on New Years eve day and it was excellent. Obviously the geysers, waterfall, and lagoon were amazing but the tour was so wwll done. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, the bus was very clean, and our driver shared so much interesting info about Iceland, everything we went to see and most of what we drive by. You cpukd probabky rent a car and save a few dollars driving yoirself around but you would miss so much. It was really fanrastic and would do it again.
