5.00An amazing 10 out of 10 experience hiking over the Solheimajokull glacier of Iceland with Vangelis. Vangelis is a joyful person and an excellent and well organised professional tour guide. He provided to all the participants high quality equipment and clear instructions on how to use them to ensure our secure tour on the glaciers. During the activity Vangelis shared very interesting information related to the glaciers and their evolution over the years and the climate change. An once in a lifetime experience that I strongly recommend to do with Vangelis as your guide.
