AMAAAZING value for money. Our tour guide, Thordur Hjalmarsson, was amazing and ended up being kind enough to give my very small group (of my two friends and I) the adventure of a lifetime! We got very lucky with our more in depth tour. Amazing stuff, I’ve recommended it to my friends visiting the island!

Orri was the best tour guide! He was very knowledgeable about the glaciers. He explained us everything. How they create why the colour is like that and he took us some amazing pictures that we are gonna have as a memory from this fantastic tour! Thank you Orri! Alexia and George from Greece.
