She was knowledgeable, friendly and warm. She took pictures of all of us. Provided us with great facts. Found us clay on the glacier for our faces. Included my son who was 9 and the only child on the hike.silviapd67

We had an amazing hike on the glacier with Styrmir, the best tour guide ever! He told us interesting stories and legends about Iceland and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the all experience. We can’t recommend this tour (and this guide) enough! Ciao!

Superleuk ervaring! Via guide to Iceland gevonden. We hebben drie uur met een kleine groep van 6 op de gletsjer gelopen. Er was goede gear (ijstijd, stijgijzers en helm). De gids, Ingo, is super aardig, had kennis van zaken en heeft humor. Doordat de groep zo klein was konden we ook bij wat ‘spannendere’ plekken kijken waar het water door het ijs weggevoerd werd en hele diepe putten gezien werden. Het voelde de hele tijd veilig, er was goede begeleiding. We hebben prachtige foto’s kunnen maken en veel lol gehad. We kunnen het iedereen aanraden!:)
