Simply amazing - It’s a very long day but the tour is amazing. You will see many places and learn about the history of those places while you drive there. The canyon is breathtaking and im so glad i chose this option. The lagoon was amazing even tho it was extremely windy and difficult to stand. The diamond beach with the huge blocks of ice outside is a must see. Our guide was very informative and explained everything en route, even took us to another lagoon that was not on schedule. Highly recommend this tour!

Must visit to glacier - It was great trip to glacier lagoon. I was hoping for northern lights but weather did not permit. The tour guide is very knowledgeable about Iceland history and very helpful.

Incredible day! - AMAZING!! Thord was an incredible guide and driver, and kept us safe under some sticky driving conditions. This is a very long day (0730 to nearly midnight !) but absolutely worth it. Lots of stops were made along the way to stretch our legs, grab a coffee, and enjoy the scenery. I advise bringing snacks, water, layers (in winter), and a good team attitude :)
Definitely a must-do!

First class trip - What a fabulous trip. It is a very long day but it is well worth it. Make sure you wrap up very warm in winter as it is cold but it’s the wind chill factor that can get you. It was everything as described and more. Our driver and guide was first class. His name was Trond. He deserves a big mention. So knowledgeable about everything Icelandic.

Trond hosted our tour... - Trond hosted our tour group and did a phenomenal job. He ensured we squeezed as much as possible during the time we spent with him. The commentary on board was enjoyable (as he was humorous) and educational! he kept to the schedule he did an amazing job in making sure everyone saw/took photos of everything which was a breath of fresh air and extremely kind while proving breaks. The cherry on top was making sure we were at a good stop to see the northern lights! We were so lucky he was knowledgeable in capturing the lights (with forecasts) to ensure we were around the area (especially since our northern lights tour was cancelled the night before). Many thanks to trond and tour company!

Gummi made the tour perfect, very glad we did not try to drive ourselves - The tour was wonderful. Gummi filled us in on a lot of interesting history throughout the drives. There were enough food and bathroom stops, and 15 hours did not feel too long. We had rented a car but did not want to stress about weather. Weather changed so much multiple times so we were very happy to not have to keep track ourselves. Thank you Gummi!
