Our Icelandic guide was excellent, telling us everything from history, geology, natural features and animals. The best we have ever had in 60 years of extensive travel. The local driver was also excellent - driving carefully, being totally helpful with luggage and helping less physically able people on and off the coach. I would recommend this 'Complete Iceland' trip to anyone
