It was expensive but worth it for my daughter who had never done anything like it. Guide was great. Would recommend and would do it again.

アイゼンを履いて氷河を歩くことツアーです。 気さくなガイドのイリアスさんから、アイスランドの氷河と歴史の話などをしてもらえてとても満足の行くツアーでした。 アイスランドに来た際はぜひおすすめしたいツアーです。 靴のレンタルや日程の変更なども柔軟に対応していただき、安心して参加することができました。 Guide to Icelandを通じて予約してすぐCrystal Cave Toursからメールが来ました。集合場所などもメールで教えていただきました。 集合場所はホテルの駐車場で、靴のレンタルもそこでしてもらえます(ホテルのフロントではありません)。 Mr. Ilias, thanks so much! We had a great day in Iceland.

The location of the collection is very clear, there is a special vehicle transfer very convenient, it will also be dependent on the size of each person's set of ice nails, very professional, the team is in a small group team, can let the guide take care of everyone, this time ice walking is a wonderful experience, the guide Jessie is patient, the tour is very professional, very recommended!

Super Duper. Jessi was very kind. Unluckily we got slow down with slower people. One recommendation: maybe split in Fitness Groups (fit, moderate, slow), which can customers select before buying the ticket.

Jessi와 함께한 스카프타펠 하이킹 정말 환상적이었습니다. 신발 신청을 까먹었는데 다행히 여분이 있었어요. 세심하고 전문적인 안내를 받고싶다면 강력추천합니다! I had an amazing experience on the Skaftafell glacier hike with Jessi as our guide. She was incredibly professional, making sure we felt safe and confident while climbing the glacier, and she kept the whole tour lighthearted and fun. I had forgotten to book proper boots, but Jessi kindly provided me with an extra pair she had brought along, which made a huge difference. Thanks to her thoughtfulness, I was able to enjoy the hike without any issues. A truly professional and caring guide — highly recommended!
