The guide (Gunn) was very competent and sympatic. She explained a lot about the places and also about Iceland generally. The places are just facinating... The only negative point on the tour is the pick up system. The way it's "organized" is very caotic. All tourists meet in one only place and there all wait for the own bus (no one knows wich and when...). Each bus that comes is an expectation... and once it comes, drives you to another place to split the people in different buses... just that alone is at least 1 hour of the tour... that can be improved...
