Good tour, guide could improve

Organisation, bus and driving all good, but the guide hardly had any information to provide for each of the sights. For instance, when and how was a crater like Kerið created? - when paying for a guided tour, I expect such basic information.

Hi Elin,
Thank you for your honest feedback. I’m glad the organisation, bus and driving were good, but I’m sorry the commentary fell short. You’re absolutely right to expect a guided tour to explain the sights, including how places like Kerið were formed. That context should be part of the experience, and we appreciate you highlighting where we need to improve.
Kind regards,
Daniel

Surreal

Not a lot of words other than Iceland is a truly a spiritual experience. I hope I am fortunate enough to get to visit a second time.

Our tour guide Thor was amazing and really accommodating. Thank you again, sir! Best of luck to you and your wife's future adventures together ❤️‍🔥
