Fantastic day trip - My wife and I had a fantastic experience on this day trip. Our guide was very friendly and her knowledge of Akureyri and its history made it all the more enjoyable. We particularly loved the waterfalls as they were simply breathtaking. The Christmas house was very fun and it was nice to learn a bit about Icelandic customs for Christmas. The Forest Lagoon was also a wonderful experience to relax in the warm waters with the cold surroundings. I would absolutely recommend a tour with The Traveling Viking!

This was a great value... - This was a great value for money trip. Our tour guide Lilja was amazing. She was very knowledgable friendly & helpful. We wanted to sit outside with our lunch at waterfall & she helped us clear snow off table & chairs. Thank you Lilja you helped make our trips more special.

Super local tour - The tour was varied, well paced and interesting. Excellent guide for the day, who shared many great stories. Unlike other trips this was about 5 hours and did not involve too much driving. Ending the day with a visit to the Forest Spa was an ideal wind down.

Royal treatment! - We had a great time, our guide ingi was a mine of knowledge of Iceland and its history. He was great with our kids and despite the temperamental weather etc we all enjoyed ourselves. We’d use The Travelling Viking again.

Great experience, recommend - We had a great trip, the waterfall was wonderful, our guide & driver, was really knowledgeable and told us so much about Iceland and the history, we also stopped at a couple of other spots for photos. We also really enjoyed the lagoon. We also obviously picked a great day, as we were the only 2 people on the tour, the lagoon was pretty empty, and we managed to capture a rainbow in the water at Gosafoss. Would recommend this tour.

Great value for money, amazing sights and a lovely guide! - Our tour guide Joanna was lovely and very knowledgeable. We spent plenty of time at each place and never felt rushed. I think the tour is really good value for money as the lagoon entry is also included. The group size was also pretty small which was nice. The pick up from my hostel was super convenient and free of charge!

Wonderful tour and brilliant guide - We had a wonderful experience on the tour with our guide Graham. Graham was very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and about Icelandic life in general. We really enjoyed the stunning views of the Godafoss and seeing the lovely Christmas house. The Forest Lagoon was fabulous and relaxing. A great experience and we would definitely recommend. Thank you Graham for a fabulous experience!
