The most amazing trip for me and my family - I cannot believe how much of Iceland we managed to see in such a short time. Helga was so passionate and knowledgeable and the love for Iceland just shined through. I would recommend the trip to anyone visiting and hope to be back myself again soon!

This was so much fun! Our driver, Stone, took us to some beautiful locations and was very informational and great about answering our questions. This is a small group tour and much better and personal than doing a large bus tour. We were able to take our time and enjoy! The tomato greenhouse is well the worth it! Vwry interesting to see how they grow the plants - much different than you see here in the states.. And you get a meal there as well - homemade tomato soup and breads! Or choose from their menu - very yummy!! Definitley recommend this tour!
