“Anna was very knowledgable and a great tourguide! She was very empathetic and catered to all of our needs. She made a lot of the facts relatable by sharing her own experiences. She knew everything! It was super interesting. She also kept a nice ambiance on the long bus rides with authentic, nice Icelandic music. She was very accommodating with regular bathroom and food stops.

“Wonderful hike. . Gorgeous scenery. Stops to pick up participants and use facilities and grab something to eat on ride to Landmannalaugar. Gummie, our guide told us interesting information about Iceland along the way. The roads in the mountains were bumpy at times. We stopped a few times in the park for spectacular sites before getting to the hike.
