I give this trip five full stars plus! The horseback riding hosted by a small family farm provided the most fun of the day. My husband, a very beginning rider, said it was the best part of the whole day. I am an experienced rider and really enjoyed the small group, riding these wonderful small horses at their special 'tolt' gait, and the incredible staff at the Horse Farm. They provided a delicious soup, breads, strong coffee, and pastries as well as answered my many questions about the kind and very willing Icelandic horses. Seven thumbs up on this part. The trip by bus to the Gulfoss waterfalls and the 'Geisers' were great. The driver was very safe and the guide provided rich information about the history and the geographic of the countryside and the places we visited. This was a well-organized tour. We saw everything promised with good time at each place to enjoy what we came to view. We were back in the city on time having learned about and seen some of the natural beauty outside of Reykjavik. Thank you Viator!

Expensive, but most things are in Iceland! This was a great tour and all round good experience.

Horseback riding was fantastic! The remainder of the bus tour was good, although the tour guide could have been more engaging. It was great to get to see all of the golden circle spots in one day.

Even though the weather was appalling, the horse riding was amazing - friendly horses, even friendlier people. We stayed and had some homemade soup for lunch while we waited for the coach which, considering we were soaked, was most welcome !

Poorly coordinated pick-up and extended waiting time marred the first part of the trip. We were picked up at the hotel, dropped downtown, waited 1/2 hour, picked up again, then the tour bus made a stop at our hotel! A waste of a full hour. Tour was terrific, though.
