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!

Great day! - Gummi provided a great adventure out with lots of informative commentary and additional stops not listed in the overall description. We really enjoyed the day even though it was long, would not recommend for kids

Memorable experience.... - Memorable experience. Beautiful locales, scenic drive, and a small group meant we had ample time for each destination, esp for the breathtaking lagoon and diamond beach. Our guide was very entertaining and informative. Though it is a long full day trip, it is highly recommended.

Gummi is the best! - Gummi was amazing, very informative, graceful, caring and knowledgeable. He was one of my favorite tour guides in Iceland. I was part of a 6 person group, although we were all very quiet I appreciated all of Gummi's stories. He made the experience and day tour very memorable for me and my mom.
Thank you!

Unforgettable trip - We did the glacier lagoon trip to Jökulsárlón with Gummi as our tour guide and it was absolutely incredible. Even as a native Icelander, this trip made me fall in love with the country again and appreciate how much awesome beauty we have in these glaciers and its unique environment, from the wide floodplains and lagoons to the beaches filled with clear ice crystals. We even got to see the northern lights in their full glory on our way back from the lagoons which made for a magical ending to the trip.
But what made this even better was how much knowledge our tour guide had of the area and its people, from how it has been shaped by the natural forces that come with the glacier to the interesting and heartwrenching stories of the families that lived in the area, this intimate knowledge of the area's history is a treasure that should be preserved and we're grateful to have been able to share in it

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.

Dangerous Deadly Tour Company Owner - Dangerous! Deadly!
Here are photos of the driving of the OWNER OF THE COMPANY tailgating IN THE RAIN not only behind a car, but behind a GASOLINE TRUCK!
At least 5 separate times, “Gummi” had to not only slam on his brakes to avoid various cars, but swerve to the side of cars to avoid crashing into them…including one time I was able to catch on camera.
By the end of the tour I had a bruise on my chest from slamming against the seat belt so many times.
Gummi…as a terrified passenger, I post this evidence and beg you to stop driving before you kill yourself, another driver, a customer, or any other innocent person!
