“Nice tour guide and good driver. However, it was cancelled once and nothing happened on second try. They don't go driving until they find it with us warm. We go one spot and stand outside cold. Why would I come all the way back to Iceland to try this again? Way overcrowded too. Huge regret and sticking to Finland”

They took safety precautions serious, so at no time did we feel unsafe. I would definitely recommend to anyone. Our tour guide Daniel was fantastic. He had a wealth of knowledge on the glaciers and said he was happy for us to get as much from the tour as he felt the group was capable. You can tell Daniel is passionate about his job which only made our time on the glacier more exciting and…”
