Excursion intéressante! La longue route vers le canyon nous fait passer par de très beaux paysages. Les falaises de Studlagil sont vraiment impressionnantes. Notre chauffeur Runar était intéressant, mais un peu difficile à comprendre pour nous francophone.
Arni was a wonderful guide! We learned much about Iceland, its people, history, folktales and culture. Highly recommended for families and visitors to Iceland. Thank you very much from your Canadian friends.
