Perfect ride and must do for family

Perfect experience with the blue vehicle. My 7 year and 14 year old loved it - we had a great time. Oh and ask for the tea at the glaciers

Great for first timers but not for adventure and active outdoorsy types

We loved our tour guide. She gets five star rating. Fun experience but so limited - we just walked around for a few minutes, took photos and left. For the price, was. It worth it. We. had a better glacier hike in Iceland last year for two hours, viewed crevasses and more.. if you are an adventure active outdoor person this is not for you. If you are sedentary, have never seen a glacier up close this might be for you.

Family Adventure!

Can’t recommend this trip enough! Family adventure in the biggest outdoor museum. The personalised service of the odyssey trip is absolutely worth it. Riley was our guide and driver - he was fab! Read our family well, was reassuring, friendly, full of interesting facts and stories. The skywalk after is good but after the odyssey a bit of a quieter experience.

Awesome experience

If you are trying to decide if this tour is worth the extra cash just book it. It’s definitely value for money and a much more personal experience than the big bus! We were lucky enough to sit in the front cab which is noisy (but not unbearable) and if you get the chance to ride shotgun jump at it! Tori our driver and Tommy our guide were brilliant. Funny and personable and very knowledgeable. They really made the whole experience extra special for us! Thank you Team T n T!
