“This was a great small bus tour. The guide (Bjorn) was local and he entertained us with stories, and educated us about Iceland. He was great! We started off going to the waterfall. We had some time to get out of the bus and wonder around in the gift shop and 2 viewing areas. It was incredible! Next we stopped on the side of the road to see some Icelandic horses that were up against the fence and we got to pet them. Then we saw the geyser and stopped across the street for lunch. It was a perfect grab and go lunch that we could take along in the…”

“I had several tours in Iceland, but this was the highlight. Our guide Norris ("You can call me Chuck") was great, and seemed to really enjoy showing us around. Silfra was just as beautiful as the photos would suggest, and the snorkelling guides were helpful and very safe. The lava tube was not as colorful as a limestone cave, but it was a unique experience in its own right and worth seeing.”
