Great and Timely excursion. Saw it all

We had a great time on this review. Hogi (sp?) did a great job herding this group. Everything was the right amount of time, and adjustments made for closures happened on the fly. We saw everything except the baths and they offered a close in alternative if you wanted to do it anyway.

A very pleasant and rewarding day

I am very grateful that the travel agency did not cancel the trip because there were only two of us tourists that day. During our trip, the guide explained everything along the way to us in great detail. We had a very pleasant and rewarding day.

Exceptional Tour

This tour was exactly what we had hoped for! Our guide, Siggi, arrived on time at our designated pick-up location. Both Siggi, and the guide in training, Maggi, also on our tour, were friendly and knowledgeable. We learned so much more about Iceland, Icelandic culture, and information on the stops we visited from them than if we had driven ourselves. The tour left in the morning and returned in the evening. We were staying in Akureyri and were not part of a cruise. This meant we didn't have to worry about getting back to a ship on time. Definitely great if you have rented a car and want to add a guided tour from Akureyri to your trip. September was a beautiful time of year to go. (No flies at Lake Mývatn!) We booked two spots. Five other travelers also joined, making a total of 7 people. All of the stops were amazing. There is no way we would have been able to see everything without the help of our guide(s), who kept us on schedule while allowing plenty of time to visit each stop. The schedule was very well organized and allowed us to see many sites. There is a lot of walking at each site. The nature baths were a nice addition. Definitely worth the price.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review 🌿 We’re thrilled to hear that the tour met your expectations and that Siggi and Maggi made the day both informative and enjoyable. Small groups, personal guidance, and a well-organized schedule ensure that guests can experience many sites at a relaxed pace, walk comfortably, and enjoy the stunning nature. It’s always special when guests learn more about Iceland and Icelandic culture while visiting North Iceland’s highlights 💙 Thank you for travelling with Star Travel — we hope to welcome you again for another adventure!
