El tour comenzó una hora tarde. No se le escuchaba mucho al señor cuando comentaba durante el viaje. Creo que la compañía debe de mejorar.

The tour started an hour late. The gentleman was difficult to hear when he was speaking during the trip. I think the company needs to improve.

La excursión es una maravilla, los enclaves que hemos visitado son espectaculares, a cuál más impresionante. El viaje en bus se hace muy ameno porque es cómodo, te permite bajar y no tener que cargar si no lo deseas con tus cosas. Hace muchas paradas y eso facilita muchísimo que sea factible. El chófer y guía ha sido en inglés, ha resultado un poco difícil entender todo por el acento pero él ha sido muy amable, dedicado y atento con los pasajeros. Es una proeza que ese señor haya hecho este tour Translate this opinion into English.

The excursion is a marvel, the places we visited are spectacular, each more impressive than the last. The bus ride is very enjoyable because it is comfortable, allowing you to get off and not have to carry your things if you don't want to. It makes many stops, which makes it much more feasible. The driver and guide spoke in English, and it was a bit difficult to understand everything due to the accent, but he was very kind, dedicated, and attentive to the passengers. It is a feat that this gentleman has done this tour. Opinion translated. Show original.

Es cansada, porque son muchas horas, pero merece la pena. Tuvimos la suerte del conductor-guía que nos tocó, Gunni creo que se llama, un señor algo mayor pero que resistió bien y que nos fue parando en todos sitios, incluso en lugares no recogidos en la excursión, apartando dos veces incluso el microbús en mitad de la nada para que contempláramos las auroras boreales, las cuales fue "buscando" él mismo todo el camino de regreso. Muchas gracias a este señor; otros no sé. Volvimos a las 0,30 Translate this opinion into English.

It's tiring, because it's many hours, but it's worth it. We were lucky to have the driver-guide we had, Gunni, I think his name is. He's a bit older but held his own, stopping us everywhere, even at places not included in the excursion. He even pulled the minibus over twice in the middle of nowhere so we could see the Northern Lights, which he himself "looked for" on the way back. Many thanks to this gentleman; I don't know about others. We returned at 12:30 a.m. Opinion translated. Show original.

El tiempo no acompañó, pero el guía hizo todo lo posible por que el viaje se hiciera entretenido, no solo dando información en las distintas paradas y acerca de los sitios por los que pasábamos, sino también contando historias y leyendas. A pesar del mal tiempo, el glaciar y la playa de arena negra nos parecieron preciosos y merecen la visita. Las paradas intermedias no son tan interesantes y, al ser un viaje muy largo, solo la recomendaría por el glaciar y la playa. Translate this opinion into English.

The weather was not good, but the guide did everything possible to make the trip entertaining, not only giving information at the different stops and about the places we passed, but also telling stories and legends. Despite the bad weather, we found the glacier and the black sand beach beautiful and worth visiting. The stops in between are not that interesting and, as it is a very long trip, I would only recommend it for the glacier and the beach. Opinion translated. Show original.

El guía fue encantador, además explicaba todo súper bien. Ha hecho alguna parada extra siempre preguntando a los clientes si nos apetecía hacerla. Somos cuatro personas los que hemos hecho la excursión y todos coincidimos en que ha valido la pena y que repetiríamos sin duda. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was lovely and explained everything very well. He made some extra stops, always asking clients if they would like to do them. There were four of us who did the excursion and we all agreed that it was worth it and that we would definitely do it again. Opinion translated. Show original.

Excursión imprescindible si, como en nuestro caso, te alojas en Reikiavik y dispones de pocos días para conocer el país. Es cierto, como dicen en otros comentarios, que te pasas el día en el autocar, pero es que es un recorrido de nada más y nada menos que 800 km entre ida y vuelta! El guía, Ian, un excelente conductor y profesional. Los lugares que se visitan son espectaculares y qué decir de la laguna glaciar, unas vistas impresionantes y una experiencia inolvidable. Translate this opinion into English.

Essential excursion if, like in our case, you are staying in Reykjavík and have a few days to get to know the country. It is true, as they say in other comments, that you spend the day on the bus, but it is a journey of no more and no less than 800 km round trip! The guide, Ian, an excellent driver and professional. The places visited are spectacular and what can we say about the glacial lagoon, impressive views and an unforgettable experience. Opinion translated. Show original.

Los lugares que se visitan están bastante interesantes, el guía para incluso en sitios que no están en la descripción de la actividad. Pero la gran mayoría del tiempo lo pasas en la guagua. Es una excursión demasiado larga, sobre todo por la distancia que hay desde Reikiavik al glaciar Translate this opinion into English.

The places that are visited are quite interesting, the guide stops even in places that are not in the description of the activity. But the vast majority of time you spend on the bus. It's too long a hike, especially given the distance from Reykjavik to the glacier Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy recomendable, pero el viaje es muy largo, muchas horas en coches. El conductor en nuestro caso muy majo pero iba demasiado rápido . Las paradas preciosas pero con poco tiempo. Por ultimo las paradas para comer, las elegía el conductor y había pocos sitios donde elegir.

Highly recommended, but the trip is very long, many hours in cars. The driver in our case was very nice but he was going too fast. The beautiful stops but with little time. Finally, the stops to eat were chosen by the driver and there were few places to choose from.

Todo bien con la excursión , el guía muy amable y simpático pero había muy mal tiempo ese día y pienso de deberían haber cancelado el tour , no vimos casi nada y solo sufrimos con el frio y el viento. Obviamente no es culpa del guía , pero en condiciones tan malas no deberían hacer el tour es una perdida de tiempo y puede ser hasta peligroso.

Everything was fine with the tour, the guide was very kind and friendly but there was very bad weather that day and I think they should have canceled the tour, we saw almost nothing and we only suffered from the cold and the wind. Obviously it's not the guide's fault, but in such bad conditions they shouldn't do the tour, it's a waste of time and it can even be dangerous.

Gumi, una persona correcta. En mi opinión con un inglés muy cerrado. Explicación en monótono, Muchas paradas pero poco tiempo. Muchas horas en autobús, merece la pena la excursión. Tomaros el siguiente día libre porque estaréis hartos de autobús.

Gumi, a correct person. In my opinion with a very closed English. Explanation in monotone, Many stops but little time. Many hours by bus, it is worth the excursion. Take the next day off because you will be fed up with the bus.

Gummi fue un gran guía (para nuestro gusto, un poco mono-tonal y con un acento inglés cerrado). Siempre complementaba la información de todos los lugares a visitar y añadía “anéctodas” o “historías” de lugares destacados. Él nos hizo su “propia” ruta y valió la pena. 15 horas de tous pero bien gestionadas. Dejaros llevar por él. Normalmente, son grupos reducidos de 6-8 personas. Translate this opinion into English.

Gummi was a great guide (a bit mono-tonal and thickly accented for our liking). He always complemented the information of all the places to visit and added "anecdotes" or "stories" of outstanding places. He made us his "own" route and it was worth it. 15 hours of tous but well managed. Let yourself be carried away by him. Normally, they are small groups of 6-8 people. Opinion translated.
