What people are saying about Grundarfjörður

We went on the Snaefellsnes Tour last Wednesday and the weather didn’t cooperate at all, but it didn’t matter because our guide Siggi made this day a wonderful experience and we had a great time. He kept us entertained and made us laugh for 12 hours straight. He was very energetic and passionate about his job and we learned many interesting things about Iceland. Lots of the scenery wasn't visible due to the weather, but that's obviously part of the deal and we still saw lots of cool stuff, mountains, waterfalls, beaches and a crater. We felt this trip was well worth it :)

Despite the horrible weather our guide went above and beyond to give us a pleasant trip, wonderful landscapes. Our guide was very friendly and kind

Go see that! So much beauty, endless land and sea and an indescribable experience.

Not the best weather but the tour guide made the day most enjoyable.

Another great tour, coincidentally with the same guide as last time.
