Really worth the money for a day-long tour!

Our guide Tómas "Eagle" was excellent and very informative! All along the bus ride, he explained tidbits of information from the area which was super interesting.

Amazing Iceland

It was our bus driver's first day driving a tour bus in Iceland. I thought it was very unfair to him to have a 10 hour tour as his first! The tour itself was great! We saw so many waterfalls, the black sand beach, a glacier - it was awesome!! Pick up was pure chaos - the bus was plain white (no logo) and there was no sign in the front window. A lot of buses pick up at #12, that part could have gone so much better!
