More time at Greenhouse needed. - An interesting and informative trip, but would have liked to spend more time at the Greenhouse as there was not enough time to sample the soup, look around and go to the toilet! There were long queues for the toilets and considering there were 150 people visiting at the time, not enough toilets. Guide was good but I did notice others from the same company who were out the the attractions giving more information.

Extremely rushed visit - I'm still giving the tour 2 stars because the locations are amazing, but our tour was extremely rushed. We got an email that it would be 8 hours, however we left almost half an hour late from the collection point and came back more than half an hour early to the same collection point. At the first stop we had an into about the Fridheimar Greenhouse, and after that we could either have a quick drink or go to the toilet, because we had a very short stop, so there was no time to queue for the toilet AND have a look around the greenhouse. Also one of the guests got sick, so we were delayed for another 20 minutes here. After this we got running time at every stop. Especially the last stop at Thingvellir was disappointing as there is a lot to see, but we had very little time to go around so we had to make a decision what we wanted to see and what we would have to skip. If you had to go to the toilet, you basically lost half of the time just queueing. The same for the stop at Gullfoss, where you would have to choose already when getting out of the bus which viewpoint you wanted to see, as there were only 20 minutes to quickly take pictures and run back to the bus. I very strongly had the feeling that the tour guide wanted to be home early, and wasn't giving us the full experience, making the entire group suffer for one of us getting sick, or the bus leaving late. Overal extremely disapointing experience, especially because the Reykjavik Excursions trip I did on another day was absolutely wonderful. I am aware that different tours are done with different guides so I would not say that you shouldn't do this one, you could be lucky and get a better guide.
