    Joanna was truly one of the best tour guides I have ever had! From the moment we met her, you could feel how passionate she is about her job and about sharing the beauty and history of Akureyri and the surrounding area with visitors. Joanna didn’t just show us the sights — she helped us understand what makes this part of Iceland so special. We had an incredible day exploring so many beautiful places, and she came prepared for everything! She even provided us with face nets for the non-biting midges, which was such a thoughtful touch and definitely came in handy. She also took SO many photos for us throughout the day, giving us memories that we’ll be able to look back on forever. Most importantly, she made sure we were able to spend the entire day exploring while still getting us back to our cruise ship with plenty of time to spare. Joanna was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, thoughtful, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. If you’re traveling to Akureyri, I would absolutely recommend booking with Joanna and Viltour Iceland Travel. You are guaranteed to have an exciting, memorable day exploring this incredible part of Iceland! 🏔️🐑📸🇮🇸

    For a great time…

    Be prepared for a wonderful day out with a superb guide, Joanna, who is interesting, engaging, enthusiastic - & fun. She wisely arranged with group for an earlier start to get ahead of the big bus tours. Transport is in a comfortable minivan (with a little step-up stool to make getting in & out easier for those who needed it). We made stops as per itinerary, & Joanna accompanied us for great commentary & photo taking. We were indulged in a little longer stay at the baths & an opportunity for a quick stop in town. I can’t imagine anyone had as good a time in Akureyri as we did.

    What a wonderful review - thank you! 😊 It means a lot to know that you all had such a great time in Akureyri. I truly enjoyed spending the day with you and hope you took home some beautiful memories from North Iceland!✨️

    Exceptional Tour - Great Cruise Ship Excursion

    Coreen_J, Aug 2026
    Joanna with Viltour is fantastic! She's very knowledgeable about the area and so passionate. She really loves the land. You visit so many varied stops on this Lake Myvatn tour, and she brings you to a local restaurant if you want to try a geysir bread sandwich (and craft beer). I highly recommend the Earth Lagoon (extra cost) if you have the time. It's similar to Blue Lagoon, without the silica, and much less crowded. If you're a Game of Thrones fan, this tour takes you to a couple filming locations. Even if you're not, they are great geological sites. I did this as a cruise ship excursion (we were in port for 8.5 hours) and had almost 2 hrs at Earth Lagoon. She is very conscious of getting you back to the ship on time.

    We Switched to Diamond Circle Small Group Tour

    Karen_B, Jul 2026
    We actually did not get to do this particular tour as Viator double booked our tour guide with two different groups on two different tours on the same day. We opted to join her other group on the Diamond Circle Tour and are so glad we did. First stop was Gooafoss, a beautiful waterfall similar to Niagara Falls. Next stop was a quick stop at a quaint harbour town. Then, my favorite, a viewpoint where we saw hundreds of puffins. Next stop was Iceland’s only natural forest where we took a short hike to a beautiful canyon and lake. Then it was on to Dettifoss, one of the most powerful waterfalls in Europe. Our last stop was at the Hverir Geothermal Area where We felt like we were on Mars! We saw so much in one day, we even had a few extra stops including one at the tetonic plates. Small group tours are so much better than big bus tours. Besides being able to see more, they can be personalized a bit. And Joanna, with Viltour Tours, was a fantastic guide. She truly cared that each of her customers was satisfied with everything! If you are in Akureyri, I would definitely recommend booking a tour with her!!

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Karen, thank you so much for this amazing review! ❤️ I'm so happy everything worked out in the end, even after the Viator mix-up. It was such a pleasure to spend the day with you, and I'm glad you enjoyed the Diamond Circle. Thank you for your kindness and for recommending Viltour. It truly means the world to me. I hope to see you again in Iceland one day! :)

    Joanna was a wonderful...

    Joanna was a wonderful guide. She made our day trip and tour enjoyable, and gave interesting info, thoughts, and tidbits about life and history in this amazing part of Iceland. The stops were beautiful and we loved seeing the ever changing landscape of Akureyri.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Thank you so much for your kind review, Brian! It was a real pleasure to spend the day with you both. I'm so happy you enjoyed the tour and the beautiful landscapes of North Iceland. I hope to welcome you both back to Iceland one day. 😊
