    We had an incredible time in Iceland. Wonderful experience exploring the different sites, and for that thanks to Agnes! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make the tour engaging, informative, and fun. Her knowledge of the area was impressive, and they shared stories and insights that you’d never find in a guidebook. What stood out most was her recommendations for eatery places and bakeries. Each restaurant and coffee place was amazing. If you’re looking for a guide who combines expertise, personality, and genuine passion, I can’t recommend Agnes enough. Thanks Hemani and Dushyant Gosai

    Wow!!! This Iceland trip was awesome. We had 10 people (5 couples) in our group and so we had a private bus with David the guide tour company. We were there for 4 days and it was an amazing experience. First of all our personal tour guide, Agnes was so amazing that she made our trip really worthwhile. She was so friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. She gave us so many tips and tricks to all the places we visited which was really extraordinary.
