We spent 4 days travelling to see the Southern sites of Iceland with a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. In addition to the standards like the black sand beaches and the Blue Lagoon she showed us many sites that are not available on regular tours through the big companies like the Westman Islands at sunset and more waterfalls than I could imagine! We also sampled Icelandic foods like fish and chips, traditional Christmas treats and delicious tomato soup surrounded by the tomato vines. Best of all, we learned so much about the rich Icelandic culture and history from Gulla. We could not have asked for a better tour guide.
