Great tour but make sure you get Jon - We loved Jon the tour guide. He had an almost encyclopedic knowledge of Icelandic history but also was a fun guy to spend the day with and we felt we got the most out of our experience. Ask for him when you book!

Fabulous Golden Circle - Jon was excellent! He has a Vast knowledge of Iceland and gave us a in depth tour of the Golden Circle. Jon was easy going and let us move at our own pace. Highly recommend him for anyone coming to see Iceland.

Plate tectonics experienced! - We had a helpful guide who took account of our mobility difficulties so that we could enjoy the highlights of the tour. I was thrilled by the personal experience of plate tectonics. We also had good views of the Gullfoss waterfall and the Strokkur geyser performed for us at Geysir park.

Late cancellation leaving me SOL - I booked this tour through viator with private hire Iceland for 9/12/24 in October 2023. I paid for it 2 months in advance. I was canceled the night before the tour leaving me SOL as all private tours had be sold out for months. (I was on a cruise boat so lots of demand). Reason given was driver was sick. Given the huge demand I’m guessing they over booked and I was on the short end of the stick booking with Viator with late cancellation policies. I can not prove this. I have seen other reviews reporting the same thing. Be careful booking this tour if you’re coming in on a cruise.

Disastet - Viator cancelled our tour the night before our tour. Therefore, our experience was terrible. We were scrambling to find another tour for that day because it was our last day in Iceland.
