What our guests write

The first evening was cloudy, and Levente wrote in the afternoon that we should not go. The next day he took us above Þingvellir and the whole sky was green. Even my phone took good photos, because he showed me the settings.

Dóra guided the whole day in German, although half the group was Hungarian. We had an hour at Geysir and saw four eruptions. We would never have found the lunch place by the lake ourselves.

I had never been on a glacier and was nervous about the crampons. The glacier guide was patient and Dóra walked beside us the whole way. The blue ice in the crevasses looks better than in any photo.

Eight days, four of us with two children. The hotels were good and the daily driving never felt long, because Levente always knew a stop. At Mývatn the hot pool was the children’s favourite.

We booked for the ice cave and were not disappointed. At seven in the morning we were almost alone at the lagoon. The hotel was simple but clean and warm.

It rained all day and we got soaked behind Seljalandsfoss. That was the weather, not the tour. The borrowed rain trousers helped a lot, and at Reynisfjara Dóra kept an eye on the waves all the time.

We saw seven seals at Ytri Tunga, and at Kirkjufell the sun was still shining at ten in the evening. A long day, but there was time at every stop.

They met us at the airport after landing and the suitcase stayed in the bus. The bridge between continents and the steam of Seltún were a good start, and in the evening they dropped us at the hotel.

It was minus eight, but in the borrowed overalls we were not cold. We waited two hours, then suddenly the sky began to dance. The hot chocolate was welcome too.

In January, with short days, but Levente planned the time so that we were still in Vík in daylight. Skógafoss with ice was beautiful.
