Our guide, Siggy was the best! He is someone who loves his job. This has a positive impact on your entire journey. We listened a lot of different things about Iceland without ever getting bored. Rather than the historical chronology of the places we visit, we are curious about their cultures, lifestyles, languages, food, music, education, and politics… He gave us very nice, short and concise information without even giving us a chance to ask.

The day trip was amazing! Our most expensive one but was a small-group guided tour so you pay for this. Our tour guide Helgi was super informative, friendly & shared lots of interesting facts about the South Coast as we went along! The places we visited were unreal & out of this world! The weather wasn’t great but that didn’t spoil anything! What a wonderful experience & memories we will treasure forever!
