Wir hatten uns wohl etwas anderes unter diesem Ausflug vorgestellt. Die Geschichten waren nicht wirklich interessant, die Orte hatten wenig bis keinen Bezug zu den Geschichten. Der Guide war nett und freundlich. Wir würden diesen Ausflug nicht mehr buchen.

Bardzo przyjemna wycieczka. Spróbowaliśmy typowych kanapek, hot dogów, zupy jagnięcej, dania rybnego i trochę ciekawych słodyczy. Miły sposób na spędzenie wolnego czasu w Reykjaviku

Our guide was late. Didn’t apologize Didn’t accommodate us in pouring rain Seemed awkward and nervous and his presentation was poor.
