Excellent tour which includes a must stop at the tomato farm with time for lunch

Excellent tour covering a lot of sites with geysers and waterfalls. Be prepared for weather. Rain jacket with a hood and rain pants along with hiking boots are needed. We were so glad we came prepared. The tomato farm was a highlight - seeing an enjoyable demonstration of Icelandic horses and then getting to meet and pet them, an interesting tour of the farm, and a wonderful lunch with delicious tomato soup and homemade bread. We chose this one over other tours because it included the farm. It didn't disappoint. Highly recommend.

Amazing!

I had a great time in this tour. Petra, our guide, was fantastic. I would highly recommend the smaller tours than the large ones as you get a better experience. The greenhouse and lunch was definitely a plus. And if you are an animal lover, you will for sure enjoy getting close to the horses.
