Barõi Guömundsson The best guide ever for this tour - What an amazing tour. I don’t think the tour would have been this great if we didn’t have Barõi Guömundsson as our tour guide. He was soooo knowledgeable and great to talk to and get all our questions answered. We saw sooooo much of Reykjavik and all the history that went with it. I would definitely request him as your guide! We have been touring all over Europe for 3 weeks with 1 and 2 tours a day. He tops them all.
