Amazing!!!! - Kristján was absolutely amazing! He made sure we got to see all of the amazing sites. Given this time of year things are tricky with weather you always have to be open to change! That being said we had the most amazing tome and got to see the sites we wanted to thanks to Kristján’s expert driving. In addition he is just such a pleasant person and we had great conversation. We will definitely contact him again when we are in town. If you want an amazing time seeing all of the great northern sites definitely use Arctic Fox travel

Stjani is a very cautious driver, an enthusiastic story teller, a great field guide and just such a fun guy to spend a day with. I can highly recommend Arctic Fox Travel :-)
