“We had such a great time. The itinerary was packed with so much to do. We were fortunate enough to have the beach and glacier lagoon, covered with glaciers and had perfect weather for the ice cave. The drive was feasible, but make sure to have a book, show to watch, or sleep. Our tour guide, Eythor, was Great and personable and knew a lot of facts about his country which we appreciated. When we were returning back, he was very cautious of the weather conditions”

Our driver and guide was awesome! Our hiking guide was super great!! The only reason I’m giving three stars is they did not cover the plane wreck which they listed in there advertisement, they did not go to the Vik Village which was listed in their advertisement… that is not being honest”

“Seeing icebergs , skógafoss waterfall and fjadrargljufur, canyon was amazing and well worth doing the 2 day tour as opposed to the 1 day tour which goes as far as Vik . However you should be aware that its a 3 hour drive from Vik to the overnight accommodation with only 1 stop at diamond beach . Also on day 2 we had a 2.5 hour wait for tourists to finish the glacier hike who were on the 1 day tour (their bus would be used for the 2 day tourists) .”

“This tour made my 3 day trip to Iceland one of my favorite places I've ever visited to. Frimann, our tour guide, was awesome, fun and extremely knowledgeable. It was an intimate group setting with 9 of us total and we were able to freely ask Frimann anything. He played us traditional Icelandic music the whole trip as well as tell us the history, customs and traditions and squeezed in a few off the beaten path pit stops. Out of the whole trip Vik beach was my favorite. The stunning lava stone beaches and ominous waves were mesmerizing. The glacier lagoons and waterfalls were also just amazing. The hotel we…”
