Our guide Bessi was excellent , he was very knowledgeable and funny , he had a lot of anecdotes that we can relate and share,Bessie bent backwards to make sure we enjoyed our time in Iceland , kimkim you have an excellent guide. We arrived in Reykjavík late after long hours of flight delays and the Blue Lagoon help invigorate us all , the food was excellent . We enjoyed all the spectacular waterfalls and zodiac boat trip, our boat captain Christian took us closer to the glaciers , what a marvelous sight !! Our journey up the glacier was one of a kind experience for our age group , Bessi made it very easy for us all . Overall , we have enjoyed our trip immensely .

Thank you so much for the amazing review Erlinda!
I will make sure to forward this to my friend Bessi. Whenever I can't drive a tour myself he's always my no. 1 pick!
