Laura was a friendly guide

Laura was a great guide for hiking the glacier. She had a positive demeanor and made sure everyone remained safe throughout the hike. She told us a lot of interesting facts about the area and glacier

Good tour. Poor execution

Upon departure we waited 30 minutes extra for one single person , which then led us to be shorted at each stop “to make up time “

The tour is amazing. Our...

The tour is amazing. Our guide Bjorn is very nice and knowledgeable about the nature of Iceland. As we were hiking, the hiking guide was also nice and humorous which added a lot fun to the hike. Someone fell during the hike and the guides provided first aid immediately and assisted the participant to finish the hike. Everyone in Iceland is so nice!! I definitely recommend this tour to anyone else who is interested in glacier hiking!

Amazing Tour - A True Highlight

The Troll Tour glacier hike and South Coast small‑group tour was incredible. The glacier hike was truly phenomenal and such a memorable learning experience. Bjorn, our driver‑guide, kept us on time, kept us laughing, and showed us amazing sights like the waterfalls and the black sand beach. I learned so much about Iceland and loved every minute. Highly recommend a tour with Bjorn and the Troll staff as hike guides.
