Waterfalls are so amazing - We were upgraded from the big bus to a smaller bug, because not enough Thad signed up. I appreciate that the tour was not canceled. It was very nice to get the upgrade that gave us one more stop in the tunnel of the mountain to the heat of the walls. We had plenty of time to see the falls and shop and return to the bus enjoyed our trip.

Godafoss Falls Tour - We had an amazing experience -- we were the only ones on the tour, so we were taken in a bus. The tour guide was great-- he explained a lot of information about the town and waterfall. The waterfall was beautiful and we were given approximately an hour to walk around the falls.

Amazing - No one had arrived with 5 minutes to departure time. To our surprise the company had sent a taxi, which was amazing. There were 4 of us and we got a private tour of the town and surrounding area, plus as much time as we needed at the amazing Godafoss.

The waterfall was fantastic - The most memorable thing is the waterfall. The rest of the scenery was also nice, but the best was Godafoss waterfall. We also got to visit the Christmas house, I thought it was just ok. Our driver also showed us elf houses. That was cool.
