The experience was very enjoyable. Our guide Trent made the experience fantastic with his knowledge and humour. We had a great time.

Our Guide Clive was wonderful and informative . Did many stops in between but our guide really took time to explain everything. Punctual and was easy to meet at meeting point

Finally - an event that did not get canceled! Not a shot at this operator at all but just the fact that we had booked 4 activities with viator and this is the first that did not get cancelled. Trent was a splendid host/guide. Full of facts and pleasant to hang with.

WOW! Such an amazing tour and beautiful country. Clint was great, full of knowledge and passion for the environment

The programme is good, though a bit disappointing that the only geyser we saw was activated by soap. The guide Clive was very knowledgeable but not too engaging, so it was a bit difficult to stay focused.
