A wonderful trip

You get a general overview of Thingvellir, gulfoss, the geyser and kerid crater, rounding off the day feeding Icelandic ponies. It's a nice day trip introduction to western Iceland.

It was a beautiful sunny day so it made the pictures turn out very well. The your guides gave a good amount of information on the area and the history of the places visited. All the scenery was very nice and had a place to stop for a warm drink and food by the geysers.

Can't recommend this trip enough, we had a great tour guide who entertained us all day long. Even with some singing at one point. The sights and scenery are breathtaking, whilst the tour guide gave us a history of Iceland and the local areas. Also some useful facts and information about Icelandic people. A must for any trip to Iceland.

Best Full Day Trip

This trip was one of the best sightseeing tours we have done. We were picked up from our collection point on time by minibus and taken to a depot where there were larger coaches waiting. We were a group of 3 but by the time we arrived all seats were occupied and only single seats dotted in the coach were free. Our guide Ciara and driver Magic made a great team - Ciara was extremely knowledgeable the full day and was happy to assist with photos etc at stop off points. Magic was in control the whole time even in very difficult driving conditions in snow & ice. Well done guys it was fantastic and very memorable. 😍

Fabulous Trip. The waterfall was gorgeous, it was partially frozen. We got a treat at the Geyser because it erupted back-to-back without a wait time in between. Excellent tour, I highly recommend it.

Dangerous driving conditions. Tour guide never said anything as the bus is blown about. He should’ve tried to alleviate our concerns. Never got out of bus for the stops as the snow and wind was blinding.
