Take this tour if you do nothing else! - I take this tour each and every time I visit Iceland without hesitation. I have been three times with Iceland in Motion. No pictures can ever portray the magnitude and majesty that you will experience when you see these natural wonders in person. If you only have the opportunity to take one tour while in Iceland, this is the one. You will not be disappointed!

Gorgeous waterfalls in the highlands - Small group means faster travel and more time at locations. This was a beautiful tour of several gorgeous waterfalls. Our guide was very pleasant! The lunch stop at the highlands center was also very nice, with a small but good selection of food. Don't skip out on this tour!

A great adventure - We had a great time exploring the highlands. The tour takes you off the beaten path to find some hidden treasures. Our guide (whose name I can’t remember) did an amazing job.

Outstanding experience - We spent an amazing day in Thor's company. He's a really funny and dedicated guide and he brought us to places not so many day tour operators have in their catalogue. Everything was perfect, what else can I say ? Takk fyrir Thor !

Magic Hidden Gem - I cannot stress enough how this private tour with Iceland in Motion is a hidden gem and worth every penny spent. Thor and his colleagues provide a personal experience for small parties away from the principal tourist trails with exhilarating views that exceed golden circle highlights. The trip was so spectacular that I have taken it twice, once in 2022 and once this year. If you choose this excursion with Iceland in Motion, I know you will be awestricken by the sights of the high country and the connection to Icelandic history provided by Thor and his guides. After three trips to Iceland and numerous excursions, this is far and away the best of all!
