Fun tour - Jon was a great guide. Gave a great balance of local history and how glacier/ice cave formed. Ride out to cave was an adventure. Cave exploration much smaller than expected (20 m)

Nat is great at her job and I highly recommend the tour especially with her! - I had the most wonderful experience to begin my vacation in Iceland. I was lucky enough to have Nat as my tour guide. Her energy and thoughtful kindness took this visit over the top. Beautiful scenery and very educational as well. I highly recommend the tour.

The tour was very... - The tour was very average. We spent probably 5-10 min in the cave and spent at least an hour waiting outside before and after the actual cave visit. Very overrated tour.

Not worth the price! - Cave was tiny. Our whole group could not even fit in the cave a one time. No room to take pictures without a whole group in them. Guide provided VERY little information. Just followed him the whole time.
