Fantastic day! - Kjartan is an excellent guide, giving us lots of history and culture as we visited all the sights. Eugen drove skillfully, and the whole experience was outstanding.

Don’t miss this experience - Incredible experience, comfortable and safe coach. Kjartan and Eugen did a fabulous job and got us to our stops on time with an informative, entertaining commentary on the route and scenery. We really appreciated being upgraded to the more inclusive tour after our original booking was unexpectedly cancelled.

Great Tour - Kjartan was a great guide! He pointed out so many great things during the bus rides. The tour was also very efficient and it was the best way to see so many things in a short period of time! I would happily take a tour like this again! We also got to see Puffins which was a great treat!

Great tour! If you see Pablo thump him for me. - Great tour - some d*mb-d*mbs in the group came back to the bus 20 minutes late so we couldn't stop in Husavik. Which we were really excited for! They were sitting near the back and many of us gave them some advice for screwing us over. Reminded them not to be late at next stop. They came back and stole an elderly couples seats and took the couples belongs and just set them in the aisle. The guys name was Pablo and back on the cruise ship I saw him arguing with a bartender over not enough alcohol in his drink. Who does that on a cruise? I m*ron named Pablo, that's who. Other than that, the tour was awesome, saw Puffins, too.

Excellent Diamond Circle tour - This is a long day but it is worth it. There’s so much to see and do. I would take Lake Myvatyn out of the description because we didn’t stop there. We had enough time at Godafoss but I could have used a little more time at Dettifoss and Hverir geothermal areas. Kgartan was an excellent and very informative guide. I’m so glad we stopped to see the puffins. We saw more puffins there than I did in Seydisfjordur. I would take Husavik out of the description because we stopped for a few minutes but did not get off the bus. I wanted to see the bar from the Eurovision movie. Remember to take a water bottle and snack. You get a sandwich and bottle of water after Dettifoss but you need more water and some fruit or snacks.

Fun trip but caution weather can effect what you see - This wasvan 8 hour day with the weather not cooperating the second and third water fall couldn't be seen because of the low hanging clouds and no substitution was made for the things we couldn't see. Interesting land scape and mountains were in one area fantastic. Because of the weather and locations the crowds were at a minimum. Lunch was chicken soup or hamburgers which was acceptable.
