Major Places & Lots of Info - Great guide who provided information about specific sites and Iceland in general with personal stories as well. Nice way to hit some of the "must see" places in an afternoon. Small group size is good, but seating in van felt tight.

Tipptopp excursion - The tour was very nice despite all the rain. Domenico was very motivated and brought us closer to Iceland and the Golden Circle. Only the meeting place was not so clearly communicated.

Great tour especially since it was a small group - We got to see the Golden circle… All three things we were planning on, but we also got to see if the Kerid crater which was a bonus.

Excellent Experience! - Great six hour experience in our brief time in Reykjavik before boarding a cruise ship. We saw many of the top sites on this tour, before visiting the Blue Lagoon the next day. Highly recommend!

A bit rushed - One of the ways this afternoon tour can be accomplished is abbreviating the stops. If that’s your style, you will enjoy but we found ourselves a bit rushed at each stop. The weather wasn’t great, so it worked out. But with better weather, it would have been very frustrating. For example, my son did not have time to see both the rim and the interior of the crater as we only had 15 minutes. The tour guide was mostly just a driver, which was fine but know that may be the case here with this tour.
