Good organization.

The tour was well organized, the guide was very good, and there was enough time to see everything. The places are a spectacle. But this is Iceland.

Good & fun

The guides were very nice! It also covers a lot of ground in one day. I do feel like if you’re not thrilled with just seeing things from a bus this tour isn’t for you. There is quite a bit of drive bys. Unfortunately for us the weather was rainy and windy but we still got to see a lot! Thanks

Great tour, but very quick stops

The guide was very lively and full of information, comfortable bus with USB-C input available to charge the cell phone. The only thing that was lacking was the time spent at each attraction; the stops were too quick and we had to rush everything, even though the attractions are long and huge, often not having time to go to the end of them before the return time. I would suggest it lasts at least 7:00

VIATOR X Reykjavik Excursions FAILED to take me on this trip

I booked the evening before and viator confirmed my booking on Sunday. However come Monday, i was waiting half an hour before pickup and no one messaged me from the tour group with pickup updates. No one picked me up for the tour. Viator didnt communicate with the vendor and neither of them reached out to me. I spent hours on the phone between both parties. And I lost my last day in Iceland!! No one has refunded me yet either!!!
