“Spectacular ride with a guide who was a joy!!!!! We spent the morning with Meg who took us all over the hills and through the forests of Siglufjordhur on paved and gravel roads as well as some off-road riding. She was attentive to each of our needs(some were speedy, some technical and some slow on the downhill) as well as telling us a bit about the history of the area. This tour was one of the highlights of our vacation!!!! Thank you Meg!!!!”

“My wife and I, along with another couple, toured Akureyri on the Forest Lagoon e-bike tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, which was informative, interesting, and a great way to learn about the city. We especially appreciated the enthusiasm of our guides for showing us Akureyri — this was one of the highlights of our trip to Iceland!”
