“My mom and I booked this tour and can not recommended it enough. Gunnar was our guide and he did great! He was knowledgeable about the history and science of the places we visited, so he was good at answering all our questions. We were lucky in that we had beautiful weather the entire trip even though it was October. Everything we visited was spectacular- even the short quick stops we made with extra time. Thank you for an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime trip. ❤️”

“The trip was amazing!! Our guide Erla is very nice. I enjoyed the whole time I was in the tour. We were very lucky during the tour and managed to get almost everything Iceland’s Ring Road tour had to offer in winter. Our guide always helped us to get to experience as much as possible and also taking care of our comfort all the time. She is also very informative about each place too! Not to mention the jokes and funny conversations we shared with her during meals and on the bus with our group members. Thank you for the great tour Erla!!”
