Gaia best guide
At first I was skeptical about taking an experience on a glacier but Gaia, our Italian guide, made me think otherwise. She was spot on and made us feel safe on the iced surface. The guide instructed us on the story of the glacier, its geology and its black ice. The tour was very interesting and I highly recommend her as a guide

Best experience in Iceland
I joined a glacier tour in Iceland with Valerio as my guide, and it was an amazing experience. He answered all my questions with patience and made me feel safe at all times. His strong focus on safety allowed me to fully enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the glacier without any worries. Highly recommended!

Amazing Experience on the Glacier
What an incredible experience! Had an absolutely wonderful time exploring the glacier. Valerio is an excellent guide with years of experience and vast knowledge base of both the natural world and ice climbing expertise. He created an environment where my girlfriend and I felt comfortable to push ourselves and have the best time. Additionally he communicated very well before the adventure, answering all our questions, and responded very quick. He will tailor the adventure to your comfort level, party size and time availability. Will 100% recommend him to anyone visiting Iceland.
