What people are saying about Egilsstaðir

I highly recommend this tour to all people willing to come to Iceland and see beautiful landscape. During this 6 day tour, I was able to visit most of the beautiful places along the ring road. I really liked the ice cave and the glaciar hiking. There are some other places that we visited which were not mentioned in the program such as Chrismas House and beautiful canyons, which I found very beautiful too. I am sure that this tour is perfect for those who want to see the beauty of Iceland within a short period of time. But this tour is also ideal to those willing to stay more in Iceland, because an 8 day tour is also available. Our guide Ionuț was very passionate and friendly, which made my trip even more pleasant.

This tour was a part of the 8 day tour. More details about both are available at troll.is. Our guide Siggi loved his job. He was more excited in seeing the attractions, though he had been doing this for many years. On the 5th day, he drove us around, chasing Northern lights. The whole sky lit up with the dancing lights!

We were a small group of 6. Everything was was well organized and our guide was the best. We started each day around 8-9 am and arrived before dinner at the next stop. The minibus was comfy and Wi-Fi was available all time. Our guide made us feel like guests, not just customers. I would travel again this tour.

I was very happy with this tour and can 100% recommend it. TrollExpeditions had answered questions very quickly in advance and everything was well organized. Our guide Gylfi also really contributed to making this trip a really great experience. 5 stars are just right.

David S. Was the best guide we could have asked for. We saw with him all the things we could see, we experimented all the possible experience and he was super funny. Best guide in the world and beautiful places!!! Thank you from Altea and Anna!!!
