Tour of a lifetime

An incredible tour with an excellent & experienced local tour guide, Inke! This tour was everything described and so much more. We went everywhere and had beautiful weather which was so lucky. The information throughout the whole day was so interesting, even with the elves & trolls! Beautiful scenery and stunning vistas. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and fantastic experience that you would never get on your own by car. Lunch was also great & they left us at the Forest Lagoon for a perfect end to a perfect day! Thank you so much “The travelling Viking”

This trip is a packed day full of the beauty that is Iceland. You will see totally unique and breathtaking landscapes, whilst having a local guide (Ingi) who will tell you all you need to know and share fun stories about what it's like to grow up here.

A fantastic and highly recommended day of fun, don't miss it!

Northern Lights

We did a Northern Lights experience which was amazing. Pure luck it was just me and my daughter! The guide took us to a spot (where we walked onto the ice) and we decided to wait them out there. We were given warm snow suits (needed as it was bitterly cold and windy) and hot chocolate. The lights were amazing and the guide was excellent and funny! We would definitely receommend them.

Fantastic guide and tour. Highly recommend.

Inke was absolutely amazing. He made the tour fun, informative, and full of extra nuggets of information. He's a ninja with snowballs! He kept safety in mind always and still enabled very many extra fun moments! Would very highly recommend! Thank you Inke.
