Stunning Landscapes

I loved the experience and the tour was very well organized. We saw beautiful places and our Driver Yusuf was wonderful. The guide was great to a certain extent when he shared the stories of Iceland and I thought he had a good sense of humor too and I complemented him.But then after some time all he spoke about was Himself. That he has acted in films and he has so many followers on Instagram and went on and on. At one point I completely switched off. And so many people in the bus had the same opinion. We came on the tour to know about Iceland and not the guides life. He is a good storyteller and did give us interesting insights as long as he was talking about Iceland

Great tour at a fair price!

We had an amazing day seeing so many hi lights. The waterfall was our favorite. It’s hard to capture the magnificence. Kristi is a wonderful tour guide & gave us information about each site. Highly recommend!
