Testimonials

From Alexis

Hi Sólveig,

I just wanted to write a quick note thanking you for an amazing exeperience. My sister and I went on the "Black and Blue" tour with Alli Sleggja and Dóri Smiður last week- it was one of the best things we did the entire time in Iceland. Though the trip was windy and cold Alli and Dóri were great. We did a bunch of other tours really wished that we'd just booked through Adventures rather than the other companies... It's hard to be on a big tour bus with a droning guide after just 9 people in a van and two awesome guys leading us around. I'd be very grateful if you could pass along my thanks to both of them.
