Our guide was very good. Emilia told us about very different things we could see on the way to our attractions. Especially facts and myths regarding volcanoes, glaciers and trolls and elves! We had more than enough time...
Karen was AWESOME! Super funny and informative about everything Iceland. We got to learn about the music, folklore, and history all from her fun stories. She’s a great story teller too. On the way back she made every effort to get us to see the northern lights...
