Traveler reviews
Relaxing family vacation
Our tour guide, Kjartan, was very informative. He described each point of our stop including a brief history lesson. Our driver Eugen was a safe driver and reminded us to buckle up. He got us to each point safely and got us back to the ship on time. Thank you!!
Great Godafoss and Lake tour
Great trip, better guide. Just about the perfect mix of background stories, what we are seeing and humor. His name was Kjartan and the driver was Eugen. Godafoss was nice to see, but I thought the volcanic rocks we walked around later were even better. Chicken salad sandwich (and some vegan ones too) for our snack and it was fresh. Big Mercedes bus, plenty of seating. Good messaging of time at each stop.
Worth the money
Very cool tour. Guide was fun and informative. First some reason one of our stops was removed. Still a great experience.
Gorgeous!
It was breathtaking. Walking wasn’t hard, mostly flat. Bring a midge net. We went in August - the weather was cool. Layers layers layers.
Amazing views
Well organized Covers very beautiful and interesting places to visit in a short stay. Views of the waterfall are stunning. Lake views gorgeous Hot springs amazing variety of color in the soil and rocks. A little smelly 😉 Overall a great experience.
