A lifetime experience with the best guidance - A dream came true with the best way possible. A wonderful scenery, walking on top of a glacier, feeling so small and so big at the same time. Our fully experienced (and very funny) guide Evangelos gave us the opportunity to live these unique moments, which we will never forget.We started the journey with the best equipment, feeling 100% safe, that helped us to get on top of the glacier like it was so simple. Being just the two of us and Evangelos made all the difference because we had the freedom to go off the stanard route, seeing some of his favourite spots ,staying at some places to take photos or just sit and rest for a while.We recommend everyone to do this no matter what. Lifetime experience with the best guidance.

A wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide - Really friendly and personable guide. Was patient and walked us through a lot of the process and what to expect on our hike. Helped me even retrieve my shoe that I lost in the canyon. Gave advice about the local area and was just an overall amazing experience to have a small group setting

A wonderful adventure! - Evangelos is a perfect guide for an Iceland adventure! He's extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and safety conscious. We met right on time at the glacier parking lot and the hike was everything we hoped it would be. Highly recommend Hyperborea Tours!!

Awesome guide for ice climbing/glacier walk! - When I contacted Hyperboreo to do a Glacier walk/ice climbing I wasn’t sure if it would happen as I reached out super last minute. But Evangelos was quick to respond and got us scheduled right away. The tour was amazing and I felt like Evan really catered to us and our abilities! I’m trying to learn more about anchors along with working to advance my climbing skills. Evan not only took the time to go over the anchor system with me, he also taught me a useful climbing maneuver! 10/10 would recommend for a great experience!
