We were very lucky only to be two in the van (Me and my wife). The guide Gummi (his nick name) was fantastic and a very pleasant person. He took us on an unforgettable tour and we received so many informations. It was amazing. You get excellent service from Viator. We can highly recommend them.

Hello, thank you so much for your review! We are glad you enjoyed our tour and Gummi's guidance. We would just like to point out, that the tour was not operated by Viator, but by Icelandic local operator Gateway to Icelan. Viator is just a re-seller;-)

We had a great day exploring the sites on our day of excursions. Our tour guide and owner was personable and knowledgeable about everything which completed the experience. The only thing that I would suggest is spending more time at the secret lagoon and informing customers that they need to purchase a towel or bring their own. Otherwise, a great tour company!

Excellent and knowledgable tour guide Ian made this a great day out ! Thanks Gullfoss was a real highlight. The secret lagoon was open - but I’d say Blue Lagoon is more of an experience so try and do Blue Lagoon too even if you are doing this tour.
