We had a great time, our guide ingi was a mine of knowledge of Iceland and its history. He was great with our kids and despite the temperamental weather etc we all enjoyed ourselves. We’d use The Travelling Viking again.
Great experience, recommend

We had a great trip, the waterfall was wonderful, our guide & driver, was really knowledgeable and told us so much about Iceland and the history, we also stopped at a couple of other spots for photos. We also really enjoyed the lagoon. We also obviously picked a great day, as we were the only 2 people on the tour, the lagoon was pretty empty, and we managed to capture a rainbow in the water at Gosafoss. Would recommend this tour.
Wonderful experience

Our tour guide Joanna was lovely and very knowledgeable. We spent plenty of time at each place and never felt rushed. I think the tour is really good value for money as the lagoon entry is also included. The group size was also pretty small which was nice. The pick up from my hostel was super convenient and free of charge!
Great experience

We had a wonderful experience on the tour with our guide Graham. Graham was very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and about Icelandic life in general. We really enjoyed the stunning views of the Godafoss and seeing the lovely Christmas house. The Forest Lagoon was fabulous and relaxing. A great experience and we would definitely recommend. Thank you Graham for a fabulous experience!
