Authentic Volcanic Experience

Kevin_M, Nov 2024

Elisabete was a phenomenal guide providing just enough details on the science around the volcanic activity, the history of the peninsula and the culture of the area. We were fortunate to arrive during the November ‘24 eruption, and she was able to find a location safe for viewing. She also was able to expose us to some local charm with a visit to a bakery for some authentic Icelandic pastries. She was very very engaging and shaped our tour around our preferences. My group has scheduled a few tours with Elisabete for this visit.

Elisabete was prompt, thorough and knowledgeable. We had some time constraints, and she worked with us to provide the best use of our time. The tour was enjoyable and she certainly knew the peninsula and its history.

Great experience

Elisabeth is a top guide. So friendly and knows a lot to tell. Due to the private tour lots of possible to adapt slightly. Great experience and something different compared to other areas
