Wonderful waterfalls and cave tour - We had a great experience seeing beautiful waterfalls, especially Hraunfossar and enjoyed the lava cave tour also. Our tour guide was very knowlegable about the geology of Iceland and was happy to answer questions.

Stunning tour - Great tour and brave driver. The waterfall loop is stunning with a nice cafe which is not to spenny. The lava cave guide was fantastic and sung a song in the cave. The religious site could be skipped and changed for something more interesting.

Silver Circle tour was a... - Silver Circle tour was a great way to see really unique sights in Iceland. The waterfalls were spectacular. The Lava Cave was the highlight. You do need to walk a bit and in places it was a little slippery from the ice. Dress warm. One of the planned stops was closed so we were at the waterfalls a bit longer than normal. The restaurant near the waterfalls had all you can eat soup so at least there was a silver lining. I would have preferred a substitute destination.

An impressive day out - A few stunning waterfalls to see. An interesting and pretty 1st one and then the main two, which were majestic. We had lunch at a nice remote diner where the local food and service was really good (I loved the homemade mushroom soup) and not overly expensive. The cave was very impressive and told well. Be aware though to wear good footwear in winter as I went over once near the waterfalls and nearly again atnthe cave !The guide was super laid back too. It's a fairly pricy tour but you do get quite alot for your money. Back in Reykjavik around 6:30pm I think.

Correct tour but clearly optional - Beautiful tour with magnificent landscapes, as often in Iceland, and very friendly guide. On the other hand, obligatory stop for lunch in a restaurant that is pathetic in terms of choice and excessively expensive. Excursion into the cellar without more in the end and extended unnecessarily by the guide. Tour to do only if you have time, but clearly optional.
