It was really fun! Our tour guide spoke in english and german. As a german: the german was on point. She did an amazing job! The weather was great. We had not even a bit of rain. It was sunny and pretty warm ... for iceland. The scheduled time for each stop was a bit short but it's doable.

Family of 8 enjoyed ourselves . We flew in the same day we took the tour and Maggi and Hershey both accommodated our baggage storage in the tour bus saving us a trip to luggage storage. Long day but a great way to not waste a day sleeping in. We all enjoyed ourselves. Really would recommend!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear your family had a great time and that Maggi and Hershey were able to help with your luggage. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Iceland! Best regards, Magdalena
