We had the most amazing day even with the bad weather. Our guide A1 was so knowledgeable and very funny. He was absolutely brilliant. Would love to do this trip again with A1(can’t remember his proper name)
This is a very comprehensive tour with a lot of worthwhile stops. Stops are of the most popular places so can be very crowded.
Tour was exactly what was listed. Iatanadid a great job keeping us entertained & on schedule. Boris was a great driver also.
Absolutely excellent tour, guide and driver. I would highly recommend this tour by Saga Travel. I couldn’t fault them. Good value for money. The weather was a bonus too.
Aytana was a great tour guide! Fun & informative. Wonderful experience!
This is an excellent trip from the cruise terminal. The guide was informative, fun and the sound system on the bus and his excellent English meant that everyone could hear and understand what he was saying. The excursion was well pace with time at each place to take photos etc. No stress about getting back to the ship on time.
Comfortable coach, beautiful scenery on the way and back, love the lava formation park, hot mud/steam fissures, falls were beautiful, surprise coffee and fried cakes at the falls local hotel as part of tour, my only recommendation is for the tour company to include head netting for the annoying midges at the various sites. If not you can buy this protective covering at the first stop which is the lava formation visitors center for 8 kroner. Our tour guide Michael was terrific.
Wonderful tour with fantastic guide Michael and our driver Meeks. The lake and waterfall are absolutely beautiful but be sure to bring a bug net as there are lots of midgees. The dark forest pillars are amazing that we walked around. Such interesting geothermal sites. Be sure to eat at the restaurant in the small town, excellent tour. 5 stars!!!
Great tour to see Iceland’s countryside Host was knowledgeable and friendly Driver was safe with a comfortable bus
Again Iceland did not disappoint. Amazing scenery. The midges were a bit much flying around our faces but they did not distract from the sights.
