3.00The destinations were all wonderful. However, our guide, Razma, rarely made eye contact when speaking and never smiled, so I didn’t feel much hospitality during the tour.
Spectacular journey

5.00The guide Dylan is very skilled at telling the stories and legends of the country as we pass by the relevant places. This greatly enhanced the trip, making it even more interesting. The selected stops for visiting are beautiful; however, the visiting time for each should be better distributed among them.
Incredible day

5.00We had a fantastic time on this tour! We recommend adding the boat tour too for the glacier lagoon, which was a great add on we had the opportunity to purchase during the tour. Gudjon Jes was a great tour guide and was very helpful with lots of interesting info.
