The tour was amazing, the highlight of our week touring Iceland via cruise ship. What made it so special was our tour guide, Bee. She was incredibly well informed about local history, culture, lifestyle and wildlife, as well as being well spoken, patient and even a bit humorous. She even gave us a close-up look at a baby puffin that she was caring for. If you take this tour, you should try to ask for her.
