It was an amazing all day trip, we saw a lot of wonderful places and our guide tour Antoni was a super nice guy who responded in all our needs, he told us a lot of interesting information about Iceland and he, had a very nice, sense of humor. Highly recommended

August 5, 2022

The sights were amazing and the tour guide was very informative. At times it would have been nice to have dedicated quieter time with tour guide not continually sharing information whilst we were on the coach. Lots of driving for this tour but the views were amazing and well worth it!

After having taken the most famous circuits, we opted for this excursion and absolutely do not regret it. On the contrary, it was our best day with a top SPOL guide who showed us lots of different places and offered us lunch in a restaurant in a village offering fish. The views are great and being in a minibus brings us closer to each other. In short, the best day of our stay in Iceland for a week because we had had time beforehand for the most traditional excursions. To do absolutely.
