“
On our trip to Iceland we were very much looking forward to getting up on a glacier. We booked a tour on Viator with Icelandic Mountain Guides. It was an absolutely great experience. The service from Icelandic Mountain Guides was excellent. When my schedule required me to change my time to an earlier hike, they took care it no problem. When we showed up with too many layer of clothing they advised us to leave the extra layers with them. The guide Hanka, was fantastic. She gave personal attention to my children to really make them feel part of this unique and special experience. She was really able to bring to life with real demonstrations a lot of interesting information about the glacier. They took us on the Falljokull glacier and it was a truly beautiful and magnificent experience. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Joshua, Sarah, Goldy and David”
