“Ryan was an incredible guide. He is American but has lived in Iceland for 10 years and is deeply integrated I always seek out the historical and cultural aspects of a destination and Ryan with his academic background ( local university lecturer) was perfect for this. He effortlessly and humorously brought us from the early settlements up to date. He was punctual, kind and self-deprecating but always in control of his facts. The whole experience transformed my understanding of Iceland and its culture.”
