5 star tour - We were fortunate to have Bear 🐻 as our driver/guide, as he is a well qualified geologist AND, he has worked at the lava cave before. After a while waterfalls in Iceland become a bit meh. But Bear kept things interesting and entertaining. The Laval cave/tunnel is astonishing, amazing, exciting, mind blowing, and a wee bit scary. Of all the places I visited on Iceland over the last week, this trip was by far the best, and the Laval cave is in my Top 2 attractions.

The Wonderful West of Iceland (mustache edition) - Thorri was an amazing guide. He brought a unique thoughtful Western Icelandic vibe to our tour. The area which we covered felt like a piece of Iceland that was quiet, natural, and very easy to get your full heart and mind around. I would never have imagined that visiting the hot pool of a long ago deceased writer would be affecting, but I found myself drawn in to Thorri’s enthusiasm for the subject. Looking at the distant mountains and lava fields, one can truly see a timeless beauty unmarred by modernity. Even something that sounds industrial, a geothermal pumping station, displays a wonderful and surprising balance between the practical and the natural. Well played Iceland. I will leave the part of the tour with the waterfalls cascading from BENEATH the lava fields for the reader of this review to discover and enjoy for yourself with no spoilers. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour and hopefully you get Thorri as your guide. PS, you’ll recognize him by his mustache, enough said.

Amazing tour. Amazing day! - We booked a tour, not this exact one, but one to see many silver circle wonders, for my 50th birthday, and I'm so pleased we did. Besides myself, my wife and our 14 year old son, there was only one other person on the trip. Which made it feel even more special. I sat up front with our magnificent guide, Gulli. His knowledge of the flaura and fauna was incredible. But more importantly, to us, was his ability to tell a story. The whole trip, he kept us enthralled with tales of vikings and ancient kings, weaving history and legend together in a perfect blend. He was funny and friendly, even having a snowball fight with our Son. We originally intended to visit hot baths, but the road was too flooded, so instead, Gulli organised a trip into the lava cave. An upgrade as far as we were concerned! The whole trip, we felt safe and welcomed everywhere we went. Thank you so much, Gulli, for making my birthday the most amazing day ever.

Excellent sights, amazing tour guide! - Great value for money. Many activities, lots of unique sights to see and you’re travelling in comfort along the way. I don’t generally do reviews but felt compelled to after having such a wonderful experience with our guide, Monica. Throughout the entire 10 hour tour she made sure everyone in her care felt comfortable and involved, and went out of her way multiple times to make the experience as memorable and enjoyable as possible. My partner Heather and I cannot praise her performance enough, she clearly loves the work she does and her passion and energy is nothing short of contagious. Thanks for making this trip so amazing, Monica!

The cave tour - Great tour, amazing view, the weather was bad, luckily our driver was experienced and professional, due to the weather we missed some tours but the driver found alternative.

A sunny snowy December day with a cave and waterfalls - Such a good way to finish our vacation in Iceland! Walter was a delight to ride with, making us laugh and giving us stories along the way. The stops were well timed, I never felt particularly rushed even trying to take artsy photos. Thanks for having us along.

Fab day out! - Very good tour, and lots of fun with Walter! Technical issue with the bus when we first set off, so we had to switch to another bus but that was smooth and didn’t upset the day at all. Unfortunately we couldn’t make the first stop because the roads weren’t safe, but the others made up for it. Not crowded or spoiled by tourists.
