Reviews
Just had an excellent tour with Stefan. Super informative but also super funny. The guy had a great sense of humour which made ethevtour all the more enjoyable. Highly recommended.
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
