This was one of the main areas I wanted to see in Iceland and it did not disappoint. One amazing sight after another. Feels like you are in another world. Lake Myvatn was so clean and clear we drank from it. The Falls were magnificent. Had a nice authentic lunch at the visitor center area. Geothermal features so interesting. This is part of why one visits Iceland.

Great small group tour. The tour director/ driver shared a lot of interesting information about the region. I wish we could have spent more time at Godafoss Waterfall. I also wish we had been warned ahead of time of the fly problem over the summer. That definitely put a damper on our tour,.

We took our trip 9/9/23.The excursion was wonderful and our driver and guide "Biggy" was suburb. He took us everywhere and explained everything about the sights we were seeing as well as facts about living in Iceland, its culture and history. 5 stars!
The pick up was terrible. There was a change in where the ship was docked So they changed where they did the pick up but we didn't know that. Imagine Iceland had someone holding a sign along with dozens of others holding signs. There were buses and vans all over the place. We weren't expecting that and walked to the pick up point that was listed on the ticket. The vans should have been told to drive by that pick up point to see if anyone was there before leaving on a tour. There were 6 of us waiting for more than 20 min. Someone called Viator and asked what was going on. A van showed up finally but it only had room for 2 and the owner was not going to call for another van. He was upset with us that we didn't see him at the pier! The other 4 missed the trip. 1 Star!

The scenery was breathtaking. A country of contrast. Beautiful and brutal.
5 star rating was not possible as the minibus left the pickup point late. The driver/ tour guide was racing to get ahead of the large coaches which impacted on our time at the stop off points.

This was an absolutely terrific tour. Despite some rainy weather and crowds at some of the attractions we were able to navigate the crowds and see everything. One of the very best tours we've ever taken.

the tour itself was wonderful BUT . . the guy that was checking us in to a van/bus for the tour was very rude and so unorganized. Our van left 25 minutes late (after all the other vans) because he couldnt figure out who was to be on our van. Thw was a poor way to start the tour.

This was a great tour with a very knowledgeable driver. He made adjustments to the sites seen based on the group's interest. Topography in this area near the volcano was fascinating.

We were allowed only 20-25 min at Godafoss, the major site of this tour. It is ready not enough time. Our tour guide also gave us 20 min at the America and Europe plates but that site only needed 10 min. The tour ended early and he dropped us off at the shopping area. We were five 1 hour at the nature bath hot springs including lunch which is way not enough time. A few couples were late and we had to rush and skipped lunch all together. Wish the tour would allow more time at the important sites. All the sites were very interesting and worth seeing.

I would probably give this a 3 but the bus was no good. Each bus holds 18-20, but they limited folks to 17 because some side windows were clouded over and not sight worthy. Since we were last on we were stuck in the last row, which not only had clouded windows but a bulkhead which limited most of our view. I’m addition, we couldn’t hear any of the narration from the driver unless the buss was at a complete stop. People kept asking to turn up the volume but when done it would squelch and he would turn it back down. So not only did we not see anything in route but we don’t hear anything. Maybe that was better, as if we were able to hear about the wonderful countryside and sights but not see them , it might have been worse! I suspect if your one of the first dozen to board you’ll enjoy it, but after that it is wasted money.
