Amazing sites and delicious warm bread! - A wonderful experience! Our driver/ guide Lasma did a beautiful job driving us to the locations as well as explaining what we were seeing and interesting historical background. She would walk with us to the sites and answer questions and offer observations about the geyser and the beautiful gulfoss waterfall. The Fontana spa was lovely and we had the delicious warm bread baked in the ground at the hot springs. One tip: leave your towel in locker after return to locker room as we left our in the tubes provided near showers and someone used them I had brought one form the hotel and my friend had rented one there and both were not seen again

Great experience! - We had an amazing time. All of the locations were excellent and we felt as though we had plenty of time to explore each spot without any rush. Finishing at Fontana was wonderful with a beautiful swim at sunset. Leifur our driver was wonderful, very insightful & also very organised which made the journey seamless. I would highly recommend to others.

Experience Ruined! - We’re are a couple, but a friend came with us. Picture this: a huge bus —about 68 seats.with all but the last row filled. The day started unpleasantly right from the get-go with the tour guide snapping at us while we were embarking. Aw, early morning, she’s just having a bad day. First stop, we at told we have 45 minutes at the rest stop. And then comes the lecture about how important it is to be mindful of the time —people have planes to catch, lives to live. Yadda, yadda, yadda, We get it. We were told we should definitely go to the loo as there were no facilities at the next stop. All good. But… it takes at least 12 minutes to disembark and the lineup is 64 people long and two busses lined up. After we got back on board, we heard the lecture again. From then on we were snapped and snarled at every sight. Ultimately the problem was two pretty waterfalls and two fascinating sites. We only had 45 minutes to get on and off the bus and get to the glacier. A large part number of passengers turned around before actually seeing the darn thing. Finally on the drop off she was absolutely rude. Other passengers commented on it as well.
All I will say is that the trip was October 4.
The driver was lovely and fortunately the next excursion two days later was stellar!
