Best trip
This is one of our best tour in Iceland.
Great tour to experience the area
So beautiful. The waterfall is a must see! Our guide Lili offered a lot of incite about the area and Iceland. The spot we stop at and walked the lava fields was incredible. The area had great walking paths and some chances to explore deeper into caves or climb small hills for great views.
Waterfall stunning as we’re lava fields
Good trip but not long enough at the waterfall and the lunch stop was a waste of time as no toilets. We could have had the sandwich at the next stop where there was more to see.
Overall a great tour
Our tour guide Lili was great. The tour was enjoyable. There can be quite a bit of flies at one stop so bring a covering for your face. The hot springs do have a strong sulfur smell. The lunch provided was a water bottle and a chicken sandwich with honey mustard. It was kept in the bottom of the bus in refrigerated so it did not meet our standards to eat. Also they stopped at a place that smelled like sulfur to eat so that was not very appetizing. It was easy to find the bus after getting off our cruise ship. Close to the port. Overall a great tour.
Fun with the family in Iceland
It was a lot of fun. The o my problem we had was that they should have counted everyone before they started the hike on the path. They left some of us behind and my cousin couldn’t make the hike and got stuck because it was too hard for her. They did not ask if anybody had difficulties and should have taken an easier path. The rest of the tour was fantastic
