Beautiful trip!

What a beautiful trip! Our guide, Vjeran, was the highlight of the day. He went above and beyond by making extra stops, helping everyone with photos, and keeping us entertained with his great sense of humor. He was kind, respectful, and very knowledgeable about every place we visited. Although the glacier lagoon boat tour was cancelled due to the weather, it was beyond the tour company’s control. Overall, an amazing experience with so much to see in a single day. Highly recommend!

Forever AMAZED by these sights

By far my FAVORITE tour of my Iceland trip!! The tour guide is very knowledgeable and friendly. He passed around a paper where the whole bus had a chance to ask him any questions. The glaciers were AMAZING to see in person. Definitely book the glacier boat tour!! The only piece of feedback I would give is to set aside time for diamond beach, it seemed like only those who didn’t go on the glacier boat ride had time to see. Also - just a note that this is a big bus tour. THANK YOU!
