I think this tour you need to be brave to approach the guide on how to tie your crampon and request to wear your safety belt. if you shy or not ask anything, you will feel left out. not sure this tour worth or not. we meet the storm so skip one station, but overall I am satisfy because I make time to take photo for my glacier tour around 1 hour plus, you will go into a small ice cave. I feel a bit sad because stuck in snow storm for 3hour. the guide make effort to drive back to city, he himself take care 15 people's in small van. and lead us do hiking on glacier. pick up and drop at my nearby hotel. I'm a bit skinny, every time need catch up with other because the wind almost blow me away. gear provided:ok

This was one of the best day tours I’ve ever experienced, made truly exceptional by our fantastic guide, Sari. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing informative and fascinating insights throughout the day, while also keeping everything fun and engaging. We learned so much about Iceland and each of the incredible places we visited. Sari was patient, approachable, and had a great sense of humor, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The sights were absolutely breathtaking, and the entire day was perfectly organized. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland!

Iceland is so, so beautiful! Luckily, the weather was great that day. Prepare some water and snacks in the car because the journey is long~ But there are rest stops along the way, so don't worry. The itinerary is packed, but it's great to see what you want to see!

An amazing trip meeting wonderful people from Japan, Australia, Sweden, and America. The Geysir hot spring eruption was powerful, the glacier and Diamond Beach were incredible, and the Blue Lagoon was truly unforgettable.

Peter was our driver/guide for this trip. Unsure if the guide was included in this package, as we were mainly dropped off at each location for self-walk and exploration. However, Peter gave clear instructions, directions and cautions (if any). He also gave talks about the history/stories on board while driving. The trip went well; we saw what we registered for and had beautiful weather. The natural hue and landscapes are to die for. Pick-up was pretty much the same for all other tours in Iceland, reach at a particular spot and wait for the guide to call on names.

The tour bus was very punctual, and the overall itinerary was well-arranged. Because the drive was long, the tour guide arranged several stops for everyone to use the restroom and replenish! Iceland's scenery is truly beautiful!
