“Dramatic and unforgettable landscapes - Amazing trip. Picked up on time, luxury mini bus and taken off to see the magical landscape of the South. Our guide Atley was fantastic and seemed to enjoy it as well. It’s a long drive to Vik to start but then everything is on the way back and day flew by. Lava show was fun, albeit wife having nightmares about Ketla going up. The curry fish soup was unbelievable! And then the landscape…so dramatic and unforgettable. Walk around the waterfall….you don’t get that wet! 😂Thank you.” - Reviewed at 2024-09-23

He was very nice, asked if we needed to be back at a certain time for dinner reservations, which I thought was very considerate. He was very informative, and funny, we had a great day. Being just the two of us, it was perfect, and catered to our needs.A stop for coffee, bathroom break if needed, and lunch in Vik which was excellent.
