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!

An awesome experience. A... - An awesome experience. A zodiac boat tour & a glacier hike would have made it a better tour for me. I understand the time constraints as it was a very long day with hours of driving.

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!

Amazing - Beautiful scenery, the best guide and driver - WONDERFUL experience. All places visited where stunning, but what made the trip so perfect was our guide Gummi. All throughout the day he told us stories and information from the places we were at the moment, informative but fun and entertaining. I would recommend to bring snacks and lunch/dinner packed: there are many tasty and different options all day around (the food trucks at glacier lagoon and restaurants at Vik where great) but it can get expensive.
Some notes from what I saw other people comment:
Icelandic culture can feel a bit cold from some of us visiting, but coming from a latin country with customs very different from theirs, I can assure you that Gummi was always respectful and had a great attitude all trip. We asked a lot of questions and he always had even more information than what we would expect. He knows a lot about the country and area visited, you can tell how much he cares about it which makes all of it even more enjoyable.
I arrived 2 minutes late to the pick-up location: it was raining, the closest bus stop I could find as an option was 700m away and I even took the wrong turn on a street... When I got to the bus I mentioned this and all was good! No unprofessional comment, no rudeness.
There were several stops all day long with bathrooms and places to buy food, and if somebody needed an extra stop for a bathroom break (which happened) it was also done.
Overall I would absolutely repeat this tour and I'm glad I found it, it was one of the highlights of my trip!

Awesome enthusiastic tour guide with lots of stories to tell - This was a very long day, but I feel it is worth it. They take us to some of the less visited locations such as the hobbit church. I really enjoyed that experience and chose it specifically. Driver was very friendly and knowledgable and I really appreciate it at. Our driver was called Ian.

A Must Do in Iceland - A long day but so worth the time. The trip provides plenty of time to see landscape, glaciers, icelandic animals ( horses, sheep) in addition to the sites ( myr church, waterfalls, hobbit church,diamond beach and the highlight Glacier lagoon). Bring warm clothes, it was chilly and windy in September. Plenty of bathroom breaks and snacks for purchase along the way. Dinner for purchase near Icelandic wear, lamb soup was wonderful. Our tour guide Ian was amazing, such a wealth of knowledge. Minibus providesd a more intimate size group to get to know. Simply fabulous

An exceptional experience with exceptional history - Amazing! Gummi was an incredible driver and tour guide. As a local his entire lifetime, he knows just about every inch of the road and all of the history of every inch of the road and all the things that can be seen.
He’s also a wonderful storyteller and a true gentleman. This was an exceptional experience.
It was a full day but fully worth it. I can’t believe the beautiful things we saw and the history that was unlocked by this gentleman tour guide. amazing!

Stunning - It was a beautiful trip and our guide Gummi told interesting stories about Iceland's history and its inhabitants during the trip. Even when we decided to go out to dinner as a group, Gummi was friendly and waited for us.
They were very nice spots and it was quite personal as we had a bus to 6. I would recommend the tour to anyone!

Just book it - It’s really beautiful, a far drive from the city but so worth it. Our driver Gummi was really awesome at telling stories and keeping informed. Got to see some great scenery though the weather was not so great. I highly recommend this tour.
