We saw everything what we wanted to see and what was promised. Good timings and Sandra, our tour guide, was amazing !
Great tour with Emma. Tons of flies!Emma was very informative. The tour really showcased this part of Iceland.
Too much spent waiting for a restroom leaving little time for the attractions. Tourist infrastructure needs improvement.
Hi We have done many things to improve access to restrooms on our tours. We for example have an exclusive access to restrooms at Hotel Goðafoss (the stop includes coffee and Kleina). You also have to take in the fact that you arrived to Akureyri, a town of 20.000 people, on a day where 2x big cruise ships were in port with around 10.000 guests and employees total. It is not a normal day for the infrastructure, and something that happens 2-3 times a year. How was the tour, how was the guide and how were the attractions? best regards Baldvin
Sarah was a fantastic tour guide. The sites are fantastic. A few minor issues we experienced: - our bus did not have WiFi as advertised. - the bus we were in (which appeared to be for overflow given lack of WiFi) was smaller but a bit cramped. - a few of the stops have an issue with midges. Not the tour's fault of course but we recommend a bug net.
Loved it! Tour guide was excellent, sights were amazing! Could have spent hours in the park, will definitely go back!
We enjoyed the sites and our guide, but the midges were terrible and it would have been nice to have had advance notice that others on the tour and with other groups that day had. Offering netting would really have improved the experience. Those flies are nasty and a real bother!
you learned a lot about Iceland in a short time. The tour guide was very competent and showed us the highlights in this area.
Tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable. I especially enjoyed his talks of the hidden people and stories
Michael was a fantastic tour guide. He provided lots of knowledge at each and every stop and even in between while headed to our next stop. He was easy to understand and very pleasant to talk with at the stops. Arnar, our bus driver was wonderful as well. He told us of some of the local customs and such. Aevar & Boas Dalvik bus lines was fantastic and very clean.
Very beautiful area to visit. Geysers, waterfalls and other wonders of the Iceland!! We enjoyed very much!!!
