“Absolutely worth the long day trip. We saw some of the most beautiful tourist sites in the Golden Circle. We were happy with how clean the buses were and how smooth the transportation was. They provided a car seat, which was nice, but the car seat was a bit dirty. We only wish we had more time to spend in each location because it was a very quick stops even though it was a long day. Tour guide was great and gave us heads up on restroom stops and what each step had if we needed something. We liked on the way back, we were able to relax and enjoy…”

Katla ice caves tour from Vík: a guided walk into living glacier ice, small groups, safety gear, and about 3 hours of wonder.
“I would like to start by saying that the Tour Company and Guide were incredibly nice and did a great job but the value for the money on this tour is not there. We happened to go on a windy day and black volcano ash was in our eyes, teeth, clothes and all over our faces. Not what we expected. Sadly the glacier is melting and the ice cave was very small and there were multiple tour groups there just pushing people along. We had ice climbed another glacier the day before and I wish we left it at that. We spent too much money and time on this tour…”
