Vjeran is the tour guide to get. Spectacular views I will never forget.

They upgraded me to the premium tour with tomato and horse show experience for free. I was happy as the pick up point was near where I was staying but then my tour guide, Vjeran, dropped me back to my campsite at the end of the day! Vjeran clearly loves his job, he was very knowledgeable about Icelandic history which I didn’t realise I would be learning from the tour but loved it. There was a perfect balance between time with him talking and time to sit, relax and enjoy the view. Comfy chairs on the bus, delicious tomato soup at the tomato farm, stunning scenery. Vjeran was in no rush at any of the locations, we ran late so that we could spend more time looking at landmarks that are a once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommend each location whether on a tour or not.

Very bad

Terrible, you are expected to arrive on time, fine but then also arrive on time yourself. Anyway, it was a mess at the boarding place where a lot of people were waiting for the bus, a bus is coming everyone goes to that bus, a big anthill is nothing, your supervisor for that day will announce names and if you hear these you can get on the bus. Meanwhile, more buses are arriving so you go from bus to bus to see where you can board, well none of the 6 buses have our names mentioned. The buses were not yet gone and we received an email that we were not present, so we were. Immediately called and nothing was possible, but our money back but that does not make it right, it was only possible for us that day.
