Amazing Experience! - A fabulous tour! We had a wonderful day learning about Iceland and its involvement in World WarII. We met many interesting Icelanders and learned a lot about the beautiful island. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the war and Iceland’s role in it. We would HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore an unseen side of Iceland.

Lovely trip with amazing guide - Such an enjoyable tour! My guide Lucky knows so many interesting stories to tell and places to show you. Even better is the fact that she really knows how to bring it in an enthusiastic way, what things really keep entertaining. You can tell she has a great passion for the subject and keeping you entertained. The oranges she handed out were delicious as well. Ask her anything, and she immediately knows. In case I go back to Iceland, I would defintely book a trip with her again!
