First we had horrible weather for this but if you're lucky enough to have good weather it is a nice way to spend your day.
Sandra was a great guide and avoided the crowds by going to turf house first. She had great knowledge to share and kept us entertained during the drive.

Our tour guide Kari made this tour so special. He is a native and had so much insight to provide - the food, culture, language, education etc. His love of his country was evident. I highly recommend this tour. We love the small groups

You can't decide what the weather will be, but in spite of the rain and cold, we managed to walk around the Turf Huse and saw the Godafoss waterfall. We travelled in a minibus with a highly knowledgable guide, but she has to be careful when explaining with her hands (which should be on the steering wheel). Guides in the various ports in Iceland do not know whether this is the first stop in the country or have already heard something about the historical background. Our guide did a god job.

Spectacular waterfalls, cool old farm museum and a great guide. The van was comfortable but a little crampef.

We visited the turf houses first and then went to waterfall. I could have used more time at the waterfall. The guide gave us only 50 minutes there. It's a big site if you want to walk to both sides. I didn't have time to go to the shop or cafe. The weather was beautiful.

We had some truly entitled folks from New Jersey on our tour who were very demanding. Sandra and the bus driver were saints who provided a great tour and overview of the area. We appreciated their positive spirit!

This is a small business tour. We went places not available on other tours. The traditional turf house is amazing. The engineering and workmanship of these underground facilities was a once in a lifetime experience.
The tour guide, Dabba, is a credit to the company. She had personal history of the area and took us through, and had detailed information, about the seldom seen neighborhoods.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland.

OUTSTANDING!! I have never had a better tour. Dabba was absolutely the reason for that. She went out of her way to show us this wonderful place. We saw the oldest part of town. We went through the 5 mile tunnel. The scenery was breathtaking everywhere we looked. Loved the Turf House and church. The falls were amazing. The trip back to town around the mountain could not have been more beautiful. I highly recommend this fabulous tour.

Dabba was our tour guide and driver, she was a very safe driver and an even better guide to our tour. She was an Icelander and knew everything about the area around us. We learned much about Iceland the geography, the history, and the people. Her narratives were always fascinating. The tour in the turf house was something that one would never see by taking a ship excursion. It isn’t something for a group of 40 or 50 people. Our Small group was perfect. There were eight of us.

Our guide Kari and driver Asa were so engaging, informative and funny. They made the tour so fun and we learned so much about Iceland.
