“This 4 day tour is perfect!! U hit all sites relevant to Iceland. I was lucky enough to have Siggy as my guide. His energy is contagiious. From the first morning he greeted us with an enthusiastic hello! Siggy kept us on schedule which was perfect because we were often the first bus at most sites, beating the big bus loads of other tours. Great for being able to take pics without other tourists in ur shots. Siggy's stories and personality are hillariious plus his play list of music was so good. The hotels were all clean and organized.
