We had rain and wind but despite the cold the guide was informed and I marveled at the landscape. It is majestically surreal. My only issue is that again we did not have enough time between the sites. Though given the weather condition I guess it worked out.

The guide was very knowledgeable and planned our day in order to avoid the crowds. We were in a small group of 16 on a minibus, so we were able to explore some hidden gems where the coaches didn’t go. A spectacular day and back in plenty of time to pick up our cruise.

The guide who took us in charge was really nice and friendly. You could tell that he was proud of his country and history and we learned a lot thanks to him. I would definitely recommend this tour, it’s an easy and very friendly way to visit a lot of beautiful sites of Iceland in one day, learning a lot of anecdotes you would miss just on your own.
