PERFECT - I heard a lot of hype about Glacier Lagoon but was wary of taking such a long day trip. When I read so many other reviews saying the "16 hours" flew by, I thought there's absolutely no way that can be true no matter how good the tour is. But let me tell you that this was absolutely the case! This was the first tour I took in Iceland, and it was by far the best. I cannot imagine a better way to experience these sights when based in Reykjavik and there's honestly not one thing that could have made the tour better. The van was comfortable and had usb chargers. Although the bathroom stops were a *little* spread out for me, I ended up feeling that way my entire time in Iceland, it's just a really big country 😅 And the length of the tour meant that we actually had adequate time to see and walk around each stop (this was a huge difference and highlight compared to any other tours I took). On the day of the tour, there was also the option to add a boat ride at glacier lagoon which was definitely worth it! All in all I cannot recommend this tour enough!!

Excellent and passion Tourguide ever!!! - The journey is quite long, the tour starts from 7:30 am - 9:30 pm, which was raining most of a whole day. Booked a small tour with only 6 people so it was very comfortable to sit, or get on and off a mini van faster, and there was no time pressure. Mr. Gummi drove carefully and worked hard in this bad weather, but kept his great passion talking about the history and cultures of all the places he passed by as well as all attractions, and did not miss or cancel any attractions that were on the tour descriptions. Because even if I missed it, I wouldn't remember, and even if I knew, I would understand. I just felt bad that the microphone sound is not very good, or because of the noise of the rain and the wind that was distracted, so I could barely hear him well! Because of such bad weather, there was impossible to see the aurora, so it was right to cancel! Thank you very much to Mr. Gummi for a wonderful memory and safe trip!!!

Good tour, value for money - Its a long day tour 14 hours. There is a lot to see and enough time for each sight seeing, enough tiolet break and even enough time for lunch and dinner break.

Beautiful - Wonderful day with Goomie. The longest tour day ever, but we saw lots of wonderful sights and we were allowed time to do the boat trip on the glacier lagoon

Scenery of Another World - Beautiful scenery with highlight the Jokulsarlon Glacier and the boat tour we did there, after our guide's recommendation. The boat tour upgraded the perspective and the whole experience in the lagoon. The canyon was also one of my favourites but generally all destinations were beautiful, as was the view of the window during the trip.
Small group, informative guide counts positively, as well!

Stunning South Coast - Amazing scenery! Very long and tiresome trip but well worth it. Learnt more about Iceland from Gummi who's been very informative ( though at times clarity was lacking, maybe issues with the mic). My love for this lovely island only grew stronger thanks to this journey, thank you!

Most tiring tour! But loved seeing the South Coast! - Had a fine time on this tour! Was incredibly long (started at 7am and was back at 10pm) but was worth it to see more of Iceland from Reykjavik. Definitely the most awkward tour to be a solo traveler on though. I kept forgetting what the bus looked like since it was just white with no other logo on it, so it was a bit stressful to remember where it was parked. And tour guide was somewhat transparent about the schedule but most of it was a surprise. Super happy we made it back to Vik in time for dinner though, got to try the famed Black crust pizza!

Too many unrequested stops by the driver - This tour ended at midnight! The driver made too many bathroom/eating stops making the tour unnecessarily long. We got to Seljafoss at 10.30pm we couldn’t see anything. Do not take it if you have travel arrangements or a northern lights tour later because you will not make it.
