“Daria, Mario & Gonzalo made our day! We started in a group tour but after I had a sudden panic attack and my friend had to take over Gonzalo radioed in and got us our own private guide Daria so that we could take it at our own pace. She was amazing! One of the best things I've done in my life!!!! True off roading so not for the faint hearted but the guides make the day truly fabulous!”

He couldn't have been more helpful, pleasant and professional to deal with. He got us in the 12PM tour. The tour and Guide (didn't get her name) was AWESOME! Highly recommend!”

Trade the coach for an ATV ride from Reykjavik.

Guides such as Ryan and Alessandro have earned praise for patient coaching and strong route knowledge.

“We were treated to a private tour as we were the only ones to sign up that day which was a pleasant surprise. Our tour guide was very friendly and gave us excellent advice to prepare us for the journey. Due to severe weather conditions we were informed our tour would be limited to 2 hours but I’d say it was more than enough time to fully enjoy ourselves. We had a blast riding across the rugged terrain and our guide took great pictures of us along the way. We received a generous refund due to the trip being cut a tad short, but it honestly didn’t even feel necessary…”
