Excursiones en Skaftafell

My husband and I were celebrating our 20th anniversary and wanted to do something epic. We certainly found it with this tour! What a beautiful and wild country! Our tour guide was Svein and he was AWESOME! He was very knowledgeable but super fun and entertaining! We saw the northern lights on 3 different nights while we were on the Ring Road. All the hotels except one were very nice. Breakfast was always good. I highly recommend adding the ice cave, glacier hiking, lava cave, glacier tunnels and whale watching tours. They were spectacular! The Icelandic people were incredibly friendly and helpful. Our only problem was that the Myvatn nature baths were closed when we were supposed to be there. However, Guide to Iceland quickly refunded us. It was very nice to not have to drive ourselves as the weather was rather sketchy on more than one day. We plan to go back in the summer. I highly recommend this trip and our tour guide, Svein.

Wonderful! Great experience with this tour!

A truly memorable experience. We booked the winter wonderland tour and really couldn’t have asked for much more. Given that we arrived to emails cancelling plans for the first night and day, we had worried, but the team at Guide to Iceland dealt with it swiftly, reassuringly and professionally, rearranging plans within the hour. Could have been even better if they’d called us, in case we had missed the emails, but no problem really. Highlights of the trip for us were the ice & lava caves, the glacier & ice lagoon, but really it’s hard to find highlights among such a series of amazing experiences. Bad weather meant our Snaefellsness tour was rather limited and we didn’t catch the northern lights, but nothing we can do about that... guess we will have to come back! What we learned was how much your guide can make-or-break the trip, and for our south-coast tour we hit the jackpot with Kristjan from Aurora Hunters. He was full of genuinely interesting information but also is just a really interesting and engaging guy (with some killer Spotify playlists) - even down to recommending his favourite ice cream. Thank you, Kristjan for everything! Also a shout for Halli, our Ice Cave guide - a philosopher, a comedian and (apparently) very nearly Mr Iceland. We were happily impressed with the standard of hotels (Grand Reykjavík, Fosshotel Reykjavík, Hofn Hotel and Langaholt), and are huge fans of Icelandic cuisine. Breakfast at Hofn Hotel and the catch of the day at Langaholt were standouts, the latter rivalling Michelin standards. A very happy tour for us, just enough to feel we did as much as we could in 6 days of touring, just enough so we were not too tired. Thank you, Guide to Iceland!

Great

I just wanted to take the chance to thank you for the great time spent in Iceland. It is indeed a beautiful country! Special thanks to: Almar (your day tours) for his kindness, good humour and knowlege: Loftur (Aurora hunters) for his insights and helpfulness. Even though the tour started with a delay (not his fault) he compensated for everything with his expertize. He was able to answer all the questions and proved very knowledgeable; Trimm (Aurora hunters/Troll expeditions) for taking good care of us, to pass on his love for Nature and for being an excellent driver (I would dare to drive in such windy conditions!:)). He did it as if it ws a piece of cake; Sandor & Indridi (IG tours) for making us feel warm in such a cold night. It is mostly because of the job of these people we enjoyed ourselves so much. So ...thank you!
