My boyfriend and I absolutely loved this tour. Our guide really made our experience memorable as he was very charismatic and amazing at engaging with the history of Iceland and the other members on our guide. I believe his name was Alex - he had a big beard and wore a grey beanie and said he grew up in the south. Also was a great photographer, give the man a raise ASAP!!

This was the best activity we did all trip! We’re so glad we chose to do it as we weren’t sure at first because of the price. The scenery on the drive and around the glacier is insanely beautiful. We started the tour from Reykjavik and also visited Scogafoss waterfall and the black sand beach on the way. Lili our guide was great, as was our guide from Vik to the cave but I can’t remember his name. Thank you! :)

Awesome trip. Driver was amazing driving us through a blizzard to make it to and from the caves which was only made better by the severe weather. Guides were brilliant. Informative and funny but let you get on with it as well. Be warned though, the super jeeps are pretty cosy.
