I don't do reviews often but this company deserves it. Hlynur was AMAZING. So prompt, professionally dressed, funny, kind, personable, knowledgeable, and amazing with my children. It was my twins' 9th birthday that day, they asked prior how old and surprised them with a gift for each that they loved. Made them feel so special. One had to visit restroom towards end of tour and he whisked her off through a HUGE crowd directly to one we could not have found ourselves and the tour was already done. They went above and beyond and gave us a fantastic day. The nature baths and Lake were so awesome and Iceland overall - you just can't go wrong. Beautiful place and Hlynur loves his home and country and you can tell through his tour and passion for the things we were seeing. I cannot recommend them enough. DO BOOK THROUGH THEM if you book at all!

Kristjan came to our rescue at the last minute, taking five of us on a brilliant full day tour to Dettifoss. He was prompt, pleasant, easy to get along with, with excellent English and a great sense of humour. His off-road driving in deep snow was steady, safe and highly skilled. His knowledge of Icelandic geology, history, culture and industry kept us entertained and informed without it being intrusive as we travelled through the beautiful white landscape. He was calm and reassuring as he led us to the astonishing Dettfoss waterfall wearing snowshoes (coudn’t be easier). A breathtaking sight in a magnificent landscape. Best day of our holiday in lovely Iceland. Thank you so much!

10. Askja the Caldera - My favorite day tour

Myvatnsstofa Visitor Centre, Reykjahlíð, Iceland Kristinn Ingi Pétursson

– This is absolutely my favorite daytour… What is Askja and where is it? Lake Askja and the crater Víti, both inside the caldera in the center highland of Iceland. Askja is a caldera located in the center highland of Iceland, in the mountains Dyngjufjöll. Inside the caldera is a deep lake, and a crater with geothermal water. It is sometimes suitable to bathe in it although the path down to the crater is often impassable due to how steep it is. The trip it self to the Caldera is through the biggest desert of Iceland, called Ódáðahraun, along the glacier river Jökulsá á Fjöllum.

Inclusions: Included is fully guided tour and transportation with a professional local guide, Mr. Kristinn Ingi Pétursson., All taxes, fees and handling charges

Exclusions: Refreshments are not included in price., Children car seats are not included, please bring one if needed
