Worth it - The silver circle is not a very popular excursion in Iceland but no less beautiful. It is very varied and as a strong point is the few tourists who visit the area. It is possible to visit everything without few people, which makes the trip very special. The waterfalls are beautiful, especially Hraunfossar. And the visit to the lava cave is spectacular. But what really made me enjoy the tour was our Filip Guide. I learned and had so much fun. He combined his explanations with a playlist of songs he had created. It looked like a radio show. I really enjoyed the tour.

Simply fascinating - I selected this tour because of the lava cave and while it was the highlight, all the stops were incredible! Barnafoss and Hrauneyjafoss are now my favorite waterfalls and I learned a good deal about Icelandic history and heritage. I highly recommend this tour!

Great Small Group Tour - Excellent tour for scenic Iceland - lovely landscapes, beautiful waterfalls, and a splendid lava cave. The small-group size makes for fun and intimate group - not too large group size which I prefer.

Beautiful tour - First of all, Christina was an amazing guide. The Nice Travel tour van was very comfortable and there was WiFi and charging ports. The waterfalls on this tour cannot be missed- so incredibly beautiful. We also loved the tour of the lava caves. Could do without the church stops, otherwise such a great itinerary!

Wonderful waterfalls and cave tour - We had a great experience seeing beautiful waterfalls, especially Hraunfossar and enjoyed the lava cave tour also. Our tour guide was very knowlegable about the geology of Iceland and was happy to answer questions.

Stunning tour - Great tour and brave driver. The waterfall loop is stunning with a nice cafe which is not to spenny. The lava cave guide was fantastic and sung a song in the cave. The religious site could be skipped and changed for something more interesting.

Silver Circle tour was a... - Silver Circle tour was a great way to see really unique sights in Iceland. The waterfalls were spectacular. The Lava Cave was the highlight. You do need to walk a bit and in places it was a little slippery from the ice. Dress warm. One of the planned stops was closed so we were at the waterfalls a bit longer than normal. The restaurant near the waterfalls had all you can eat soup so at least there was a silver lining. I would have preferred a substitute destination.

An impressive day out - A few stunning waterfalls to see. An interesting and pretty 1st one and then the main two, which were majestic. We had lunch at a nice remote diner where the local food and service was really good (I loved the homemade mushroom soup) and not overly expensive. The cave was very impressive and told well. Be aware though to wear good footwear in winter as I went over once near the waterfalls and nearly again atnthe cave !The guide was super laid back too. It's a fairly pricy tour but you do get quite alot for your money. Back in Reykjavik around 6:30pm I think.
