Loved the crater and the...

Loved the crater and the waterfall! The geyser was underwhelming. Long wait for a eye blink of an eruption. No pix, b/c not worth the wait to maybe get a shot. The UNESCO site was dramatic, but not as expected. Had hoped to stand with one foot on each tetonic plate. Not sure where that idea came from, but not an option. Anna, our guide, was delightful stopping early on for rest stop & awesome baked goods. She was extremely friendly and informative. 5 stars!

It’s advertised as introductory and it is. Staff are all friendly and helpful but the amount of time in most locations is too short - especially at the waterfall. If you are active and quick, it’s okay but those a little slower may not see as much

Vjeran the guide made the trip for us!

Vjeran is the best guide, absolutely the best. I can most definitely say I’ve never had a more educated, phenomenal tour guide. He is plentiful with knowledge about the country and knows every place to go.
