Traveler reviews
Sara -the best guide ever
Since I don't usually go on guided tours I must write this one down. Had an opportunity to follow the excellent guiding by Sara. This has been the best ever guided tour. She is so much fun, has this crazy contagious energy, knows so much about her town and is just pleasure and joy to listen and follow ar. I think we were all so delightthat the tour could easily last 5 hours...and I have a feeling she would still have so many great stories to tell. Thank you for this experience and keep on with great work and 'nipples have the power!' energy!
A must do!
Today we did a walking tour in Reykjavík with Marteinn. We often do one of these tours when we visit a new city but we can honestly say that this one was one of the most enjoyable ones we have done to date. This is mainly down to out incredible guide. The city is really beautiful and we learned lots of interesting facts. Marteinn was really engaging, very funny and pitched it at exactly the right level. The area covered and information imparted was exactly right. He offered lots of great advice and was just a genuinely lovely guy. Thanks for a great morning.
Great introduction to Iceland and it's history
Iceland is not a country with a vast history of epic events, more founded because Norwegiens drifted off course. But still our guide kept up a string of fascinating facts and amusing anecdotes keeping us engaged and learning through the 2 hr tour. Thoughly enjoyed it and would recommend.
Amazing tour
Absolutely loved the tour with Nori! He was very informative, knowledgeable, and good at answering everyones questions. Would definitely recommend the tour to others.
Great tour to kick off the trip!
Although cold (expected) our guide Asi was knowledgeable, funny, and entertaining. Super friendly guide with lots of interesting facts and the 2 hours went by in a flash. Only wish it was longer, thank you Asi. Highly recommend this great little tour, booked to kick off our trip to Iceland (with many helpful tips also along the way!)
