Testimonials

From Tor Erik

Just wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic drive during our visit to incredible Iceland. This was much thanx to Gulli who turned out to be the perfect guide! He answered our intellegent (and not so intellegent) questions with both knowledge and humour, and was very service minded to the end, even though it interferred with his passion for the Eurovision final And best of all - he managed to balance four lads' need for action with saftey at all times.

Thank you so very much. Hope to see you again some time.

Regards,

Tor Erik
