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!
Exciting
Knowledgeable and patient, very attentive as to matching the skills of the rider to an appropriate horse. The ride itself is a wonderful trip out into the countryside and the dogs are absolutely delightful. I have never seen a happier dog than the one that trailed after our group of riders running merrily through the fields. The simple lunch offered after our ride ( consisting of soup and bread ) was the most delicious meal I ever had. A perfect excursion.
What a wonderful day! The organization was perfect, our guide was funny and well prepared. We first had a very nice horse ride crossing small rivers and enjoying the landscape. Just one note on the ride, they could have divided the group in 2 smaller groups, one for beginners and one for advanced. While we waited for the bus at the farm, we ate a good soup and had a chat with the locals. The tour continued to Thingvellir, Gullfoss and Geysir, amazing places and nice weather. We could have had a longer break in Gullfoss. Highly recommended tour!
We had a brilliant time on this excursion. I've never ridden before and survived smiling. The visit to Gulfoss and Geysir was breathtaking, especially in the winter conditions.
our tour guide was just amazing. He was basically our introduction to Iceland and his impression will last a lifetime
Lots of fun packed into a day. I have recommended this to other friends traveling to Iceland.
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.
The Gulfoss and Geysir express worked well, because we saw Thingvellir as part of our snorkelling tour. If you book the horseback riding, know that it's quite a long trek. My friend thoroughly loved it, but as an inexperienced rider I would have been much happier with just an hour's ride.
Saw someone fall off a horse, was really fun.
We especially enjoyed the horse ride. The horses were beautiful.
