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!
