This was the best among the day tours! We have experienced the Blue Lagoon, Golden Circle, South Iceland but this tour toped it all! The tour guide/driver really took his time and very informative. He also made extra stops for taking photos. The way to the western coast was amazing!! From lava fields, to mountains, to fjords, random waterfalls and rivers and to the main sight-seeing destinations.. The best untouched nature we have ever seen.

An excursion not to be missed !!! The landscapes are incredible, you will be amazed. The guide was absolutely fantastic: very careful on the road, brings a lot of explanations about Iceland, he accompanied us every time to each site, giving his advice. The bus was very comfortable, and the timing perfectly tied to be able to see everything (limited sunshine time in winter)

This was a great tour. The sites and views were amazing. Also, our tour guide Gummi was fantastic! The only problem with the tour is that it got us back 40 mins past the tours stated end time. This caused a problem with our booked dinner reservations. Other than that, everything was great.
