Ice Cave Tour - We had an amazing experience visiting the glacier and ice cave. I was pretty nervous trekking across the ice but Kalman was patient and did a great job of helping me to feel more comfortable. We had a great group. And we got to go on a bit of a wild fox chase and that added to the fun. Highly recommend this tour!

Amazing!!! - James is such an amazing guide! He made the experience personal and made sure that we saw the caves at the best time possible (with no one else around)! He is very knowledgeable about not only the ice caves but about all of Iceland and this tour was definitely a highlight of our trip.

Terrible experience - Terrible experience, the jeep didn't show up, we waited 2 hours in the rain, wind and snow, no response until after 2 hours with a message saying not to wait any longer, that no one would arrive. After 2 and a half hours, the number written in the tour info calls us back (having found many of our calls), it was the wrong number for an Icelandic boy, not for a tour operation!!!! Really bad organization!!! Rating 0
