This was the best excursion tour I've taken, largely due to our guide, Thorey! She was not only super knowledgeable, she was funny and genuinely interested in answering all our questions. Ask for her tour specifically!

This was a fantastic tour. A special shout out to Perla who is an absolute treasure. I told her at the end she was a ray of sunshine, she really was. She even sung for us during the tour and what a voice. The stops were excellent and you had just the right amount of time at each one. Wrap up warm though. Even in May my jaw nearly froze walking down to the waterfall.

Perla was an amazing, friendly, and professional guide! You could hear the love and knowledge she has about Iceland and made everyone I am familiar with want to be her friend. Because of the tour, I have even more appreciation for Iceland’s culture, geology, and history. Perla’s humor and expertise made this bus tour one I’ll remember for a lifetime. Thank you Perla and Gregory for making this day trip so special!!!
