Jon was an exceptional tour guide who took around Lake Myvatn, Godafoss, and Dimmuborgir! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the geology and history of the area. He knew all the great photo spots and went above and beyond to take us to some hidden gems in the region! Would highly recommend this tour to family and friends!

Great experience! Weather was cold, wet and windy. Beautiful tour. Our guide Jowi was fabulous and went above and beyond when my son in law slipped and fell into a cave hot water bath. He was soaked. She called her brother to borrow shoes and pants and we stopped at a store to buy socks. So we got to finish our tour! Thanks Jowi!

We started in downtown Akureyri, with other tourists and our guide collected us at the Hof Cultural Center. Her name was Johanna. There were 8 of us on this 8 hour tour which proved to be fantastic! She was articulate regarding the land, culture, food people etc. It was fun and engaging. She was not just a guide but a generous host. We would highly recommend taking this tour. It was a great way to expose ourselves to this region of Iceland!

My wife and I visited Akureyri for a couple days. Our guide for this tour was Jowi and she was full of knowledge. Our group was a total of eight people which was perfect for exploring Godafoss, Dimmuborgir and other unworldly sights. We concluded at the nature baths at Myvatn, which was a relaxing experience of contrast in the warm water as cold rain fell onto us. Would definitely do it again! Thank you, Star Travel!

Not worth the money. The bus was overcrowded and the driver’s microphone didn’t work. We were in the back of the bus and never heard any commentary. Driver apologized but we had spent $500 and didn’t enjoy the trip.

The tour had too many people, and the bus was absolutely full. We were cramped in the back seats. The driver’s microphone was not working, so those of us in the back couldn’t hear anything. She apologized, but really, we never heard anything about the places we were visiting. We also should’ve been advised about the midges. We could have brought nets.

We had a great 4 hour tour of waterfalls while in Akureyri. We started with Godafoss, which is spectacular but filled with busloads of tourists. We then went to Aldeyjarfoss which is far off the beaten path on a long, dirt road. There are no busses and few tourists and it was REALLY unique and spectacular. Our guide was informative and had a great sense of humor as well as being flexible with our schedule.

Excellent tour with Thor ( the driver/guide) . We were on the tour with AndrewCardiff (one of the other reviewers). At every stop Thor would say 'let's say 45 minutes here ( or whatever time length), but don't rush - a few minutes late won't make any difference', so we never felt rushed. The length of time for each stop felt spot on - wasn't rushed, but conversely weren't hanging around for ages at places once you had seen what there was to see.
Thor pointed out various buildings that he knew from growing up, a couple of relatives who were walking by the road and plenty of stories about the area what were personal to him.
The stop at the nature baths was great too - quite quiet on the day we went, so no crowds.
Really great day out - definitely the best day we had on our week's holiday to Iceland.
As a bonus, due to the group size and weather, they used a super Jeep instead of a minibus!

Before we booked this we were thinking we could drive some of it ourselves but we’re really glad we booked a guided trip!
Thor expertly guided us (just us and a family of 4) through all the sites in our comfortable 4x4,and as a real local growing up in the area he had lots of stories outside of the usual geology ones that added to the experience
Everything was timed but never rushed which was also great…
We would highly recommend it. Thanks!

Reynir was awesome, we were only a group of 2, he was very friendly and informative. Liked that he provided crampons, we saw other groups slipping on icy walkways. We skipped the baths so he modified and brought us a couple additional places that interested us.
