Enjoyable South Shore tour from Reykjavik
IceIceland is a very unique country in many ways. We had the opportunity to visit the South Shore and see its wonders with a small group of fellow travelers in a comfortable van, guided by a superb driver and tour guide, Omar. We very much enjoyed the tour and learned a lot about the country.
