I’m not usually a tour person but I had 2 days in Reykjavik by myself without a car and this was the absolute perfect way to do some sightseeing. Our tour guide was super friendly and knowledgeable and I loved every stop we made, and the added tomato greenhouse and dairy bonus! It was definitely worth a few extra bucks to be in a small van rather than huge tour bus. I had an amazing time and would definitely recommend this tour!

Good, fun guide, great places (except ice cream farm, see below)

It was a very impressive, informative and entertaining tour. I learned a lot about Iceland. The only thing that frightened me and made me negative are very badly emaciated calves on the farm where Icecream is sold, even the advertised chickens with names had almost all bald spots on their backs and breasts. From an animal welfare far from good. I hope the calves get breast milk again, the cows of the farm give milk in rough quantities.
