Leni was a great guide who answered all our questions and lead us to try new things with a good touch of humor. He included all of us in the conversation about Iceland and was very friendly.”

“Absolutely stunning scenery. Tour guide friendly but inane stories could have been more informative about the sights. Make sure to pack/bring a raincoat for the walk around the waterfall. Cold and wet but we'll worth it. The weather seems to change on a dime so wear layers. We saw rain, sleet, snow and bright shiny warmth all within the first few hours. Might've made the day more pleasant if everyone on the small tour was introduced to eachother. Spending the whole day together- why not”
