Amazing trip, probably the best tour we did during our stay in Iceland. It was lovely to get to see so many natural highlights & the lagoon was beautiful, not too busy either! Our bus were the only ones there. Our tip would be to do the tour towards the end of your stay. We felt we’d done the best bits on our first day by doing it first haha.

Really can't say enough good things about this tour! So well organized, seen the most beautiful sights. We got more than enough time at each sight. But without question our guide Jouna was the star of the show. We learned so much from her extensive knowledge of Iceland. Her humour and wit all added to the day also!

Absolutely brilliant, made all the more better with the company of Peter and Jona. Jona was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained all day. With definitely book again as long as Jona was our host. Can't recommend enough Ian, Caz, Ricky & Dotty for Aberdeen

Amazing, peaceful, unusual location. Everything is well-organised and clean. Definitely an activity to add to your itinerary if in the Golden Circle area.

Definitely worth the money. Best trip I have been on!
