They could have easily cancelled due to the very poor weather and being the only person for the activity, but went out the way to let me experience this great biking activity. It was my first time biking with an electric bike and it was much easier then anticipated. Staff and tour guide were super nice and pleasant.

“We had a wonderful time biking in Akureyri. Sigrún was very responsive and accommodating. I was hesitant about booking this tour because a few of us are not great bike riders. However, the electric bikes provided are really nice and we were able to go up the hills without much trouble. The tour started at the Forest Lagoon, went through dirt/gravel backroads and ended by riding through the city. The views were beautiful and we had frequent stops to learn about the city. The owners are so friendly. This is a must do!”
