Excellent experience - Excellent tour! Julius was a great driver guide, the places visited are 100% worth it. They picked us up at the cruise port and left us there again, they modified the tour schedule (since the ship modified its schedule as well) to adapt and arrive on time. Excellent price-quality, it is an unmissable tour in the port of Aukereyri.

Worthwhile, but not earth shattering - All of the stops were worthwhile, but not remarkable. We spent much more time on the bus than we did at the stops. (This is the case for all of the Golden Circle tours.)
Long lines and very high prices for food.
The directions to the meeting point were very specific yet very difficult to understand. The bus arrived late, adding to the confusion. Depending on where your ship docks at the port, you could have up to a 10 minute walk to meet the bus. The A/C was not working.
Our tour guide was very good
