Gracias Damian por esta experiencia que nos brindastes, eres un gran profesional!!We enjoyed the hike very much. Our guide (5Aug, 12 noon tour) is very humorous & professional. Due to my knee issues, he has especially taken care of me and encourage me to go on and don't give up. I would recommend the tour with him to all my love ones &.friends coming to iceland.

The glacier tour was an incredibly great experience and is definitely to be recommended! We would definitely book it again on our next visit to Iceland. We had a nice, experienced and competent guide, who acted attentively and courteously and was able to answer all questions. On the glacier itself we saw a lot and learned some interesting things. We especially liked it, that the group was small - so you could enjoy everything that much more.
