    We can’t say enough good things about our guide Marco, he was very attentive and a great planner and communicator. He was very cost consciousness when it came to dining recommendations and knowledgeable about the area and its history. The hikes while difficult were rewarding with the views. We highly recommend this tour

    All was good. Great tour guide who really knows Iceland. There was a Tour Radar snafu right at the start whereby the (personal) information that we filled out on the Tour Guide web site never got to the tour guide when checking us in. Didn’t feel comfortable sharing our information verbally in a group setting.
