Excellent guide and tour. - The Forest Baths were great! Very relaxing and refreshing. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and made sure we had enough time at each venue. I would highly recommend this tour.

Best Excursion I have experienced - Baldur was the very best excursion host I have ever experienced, and I have been on many. He perfectly exudes compassion and care for his guests. He went out of his way for a special request that I needed. His knowledge of Iceland is phenomenal and entertaining as well. This is a tour that I highly recommend to everyone. As a 70 yo, it was very easy to navigate and the beauty of Iceland was expertly displayed. I even made a mistake in my booking, and Baldur fixed everything.

The best tour ever in Akureyri with the best company - This was an amazing tour. Baldur not only is an amazing guide he truly did hit the most magical places to visit. From the Godafoss waterfall to the lagoon it was truly magical. Not only that but he also took us around the town and for the people who didn’t want to swim he had other options to visit. So it truly was the most perfect tour for the time we had since we where cruising. I strongly recommend this tour and this company. It was the absolute best.

The water fall was great... - The water fall was great our guide walked with us and talked about it. Then off to turf houses which you have to see to believe and understand what a turf house is Then the forest bath very relaxing then on the way back to ship she took us through town and showed us different houses and buildings. So overall I would highly recommend them

Perfect tour in Akureyri - This tour was a great sample of Akureyri and our guide, Joanna, added special touches with Icelandic candies, etc. to taste along with good talks about icelandic life. We liked the waterfall better than Gullfoss on the Golden Circle tour and the Forest lagoon was great although more commercial than the Secret Lagoon we tried in Reykjavik. Joanna was willing to extend our tour to the city center for some shopping but we were all too relaxed after the baths. We thought the bus was comfortable and the speaker system worked well for hearing our guide. There were lots to opportunities to grab snacks/food although we took our time exploring the sites and not eating until we returned to the cruise ship. Ten out of ten tour!

Great tour - The trip was really good, we got to hit the highlights of what we wanted to see. Just be sure to read the details as the fee to enter into the forest lagoon is not included. The guide was a bit hard to understand at times but we really enjoyed the tour

Happy in the Forest Lagoon! - A lovely stop, and very clean facilities. The staff are wonderful, and they have many non-alcoholic drinks, including coffee. A rarity, it seems, for the lagoons in the area. We look forward to coming back!

Akureyri Day Trip - Baldur did a wonderful job navigating this tour and making it smooth for our group. He was insightful and the pace for the day was just right. My group throughly enjoyed this day trip in Akureyri. The Forest Baths was a great final stop to relax and enjoy the scenic surroundings.

Small group tour of Godafoss, Turf houses, and Forest Baths - We loved our small group tour of Godafoss, the turf houses, and the forest baths. The landscapes are absolutely breathtaking! We had Joanna as our tour guide and she was wonderful. We learned so much about Akureyri and Iceland. Would highly recommend this trip for a stop over for a cruise ship or when visiting this area of Iceland!
