“Tom was such a great guide! The small group made this such an enjoyable experience. We appreciated Tom's insight into everything we saw and also his dry sense of humour -- perfect fit for us! He also has an incredible singing voice, which was a delightful treat on our way home when he sang a beautiful traditional Icelandic ballad for us.

“The tour with our guide, Siggi, was wonderful. We had plenty of time at each stop without feeling rushed. Siggi was informative and interesting. The sights did take time to get to, but that was expected. Kirkjufell was lovely at sunset, and the beach with the seals was surprisingly peaceful and beautiful. The landscape had recently been dusted with snow, so everything looked magical. We also were able to see the glacier and it was amazing!”
