Stunning landscape trip made easy
Therese_L
, Mar 2022
I'd highly recommend this tour for the professionalism of the tour company, value for money and ease of travel, and the sites and points of interest themselves. Alot of beautiful and exciting landscape is packed into 8 hours. Our guide Monica was not only super knowledgeable during our tour but I felt she took a genuine interest in us and pride in her job and I loved the addition of Icelandic comtemory music while we drove from one site to the next. The landscape is stunning and worth the trip. Overall the timing at each site was fine though to make the most of the day I suggest taking a packed lunch rather than sitting down at one of the restaurants or it may feel rushed. The tour company was so well organised. I'm not a tourbus type person but I'd happily take this tour again in the summer to see the landscape at a different time of the year.

Amazing trip from start to finish

We were picked up during the start of a storm. We were warned by Monika the tour operator that we might need to abandon the tour due to bad weather. We were delayed while the operators worked out the safest roads to travel. We were kept informed the whole way through the trip. We were so impressed and felt safe with our driver Tomnik (not sure of the spelling) who was amazing. Monika was brilliant as a guide and gave us a wealth of knowledge along the way. We were so impressed as we found out after that most of the trips were cancelled on the day so we were so lucky.
