Our guide, Kevin, at Troll expeditions, was brilliant. He was so patient with everyone, and knowledgeable. Made sure everyone had plenty of time to take photos and knew exactly where to take us. In fact everyone we met at Troll when we first arrived was really friendly. I would thoroughly recommend this Glacier hike to anyone visiting Iceland. It was our favourite of the whole holiday.
