Many stops on this tour & superb to get close to Gulfoss - The guide was so informative on facts and stories along the journey, ensured we were assisted from the bus to the main location of each stops. He also helped on sharing where amenities where (so useful to calm anxiety for an 8hr trip)

Golden Circle - Fantastic trip for all the family, a great intro to Iceland outside of Reykyavik. The tomato greenhouse was also interesting.

A variety of experiences - The tour had a good variety of destinations: a greenhouse warmed by local hot water, working geisers, a splendid waterfall and finally a historically important place where two tectonic plates meet. Our guide gave very useful explanation.

Wonderful day trip - The stops on, and the length of the tour are perfect - not too little, not too much. Stunning nature.
Our guide, Gudrun, was amazing - very knowledgeable, friendly, professional, kind and funny. She patiently answered all questions, provided advice/tips and tailored information and tone to the individual.
Our driver, Gudmundur, was great - from pick up (he actually stepped out and called the names which was great because it can be confusing with people waiting for different companies) to drop off, he safely drove us around and looked after us.
I highly recommend. Even if it may rain.
Thank you very much again, Gudrun and Gudmundur Por! :)
