    Our tour guide Robb McQueen was excellent, very knowledgeable and informative. The sites we visited were good, although some were crowded due to other tours visiting at the same time, resulting in our tour not having enough time to see everything.

      I'm afraid nothing that we offer would work for you. Of course you could always try to visit Greenland on your own for those few days between tours but I'm afraid none of our options line up!
