This was a great experience. The guide was fantastic - probably the best of any shore excursion I’ve ever done.
A great highlight tour of Akureyri. The itinerary was a bit busy and I wish we had more time at each stop especially at the falls. But still so much fun. Our guide Javier, was extremely helpful and made the tour fun.
This tour was my favorite on our entire trip, we went to so many different spots! Jon was our guide. He was friendly, funny, and down to earth. He taught us so much about his country and all the spots we visited. We did not end our day at the lagoon as no one in our small tour wanted to go there but Jon had a great backup spot ready to take us to. We went to the Christmas House instead. One small warning, I will say the midges joined us from the lake to the next few stops so bring a head net to wear if you don't like bugs. They didn't bite but they wanted to go in ears, nose, mouth. Lol I took it in stride and didn't let them get in the way of the fun but my teen daughter felt differently about them. If you're wondering whether or not to book this excursion, do it! You won't be disappointed! Thank you, Jon!
This was a great tour, lots to see. It is a fully packed day. The option to visit a spa... Depending on who you are if you are exhausted at the end of the day, you may or may not want to do the spa. Great sites and informative your guide. Would have been nice to cut the one so down to 40 minutes instead of an hour. Fantastic sites to see
A great tour packing in a lot of great sights with an amazing tour guide. The falls were amazing and the lagoon at the end was a perfect way to end the tour. The guide was very informative and made sure everyone got the best experience.
Fox Tours with Jon was fabulous. He is born and raised Icelander and knows all of the details on the country that made for an interesting tour! Fox Tours is great! Thank you for a very enjoyable day!
Our guide Jon was funny and kind. He kept us entertained with stories and his knowledge of Iceland’s Geology. The views were amazing and the baths were relaxing - especially since they were our last stop! Slept great that night. Sit as close to the front of the small bus as you can… the views were somewhat obstructed from the back two rows.
The cave was interesting and the water fall was beautiful; well worth the climb up to the top. Earth lagoon was closed for Reno so we went to Forest Lagoon instead. We loved the bath at Forest Lagoon.
Really great way to see different parts of the area, tour guide was very knowledgeable but all so making it a fun way to get the information across.
I had an incredible time on the Goðafoss and Lake Mývatn tour with Fox Adventures. Our guide, Baldur, truly made the day special. He is hilarious, incredibly knowledgeable, and kept us entertained with a perfect mix of local stories and fascinating facts about the landscape. The pace of the tour was very relaxed—we never felt rushed at the sights. A highlight was the personal touch: Baldur even took us to a local supermarket and helped us pick out the best Icelandic sweets to take home! If you want a fun, stress-free way to see Northern Iceland, I highly recommend this tour and asking for Baldur.
