Epic - Helgi: safe, confident, apparently always cheerful driver. Karen: very well prepared, attentive tour guide. Tour: highly recommended! We were lucky with the weather. The group was quite okay with a few exceptions - you just can't choose them. Karen and Helgi were a stroke of luck!

Icelandic Delight - The trip was great with fun activities and great scenery. It was surprisingly warm so a hat would have been handy but you need warm gear and ideally wear woollen socks and hiking boots. The driver was a delight and it was interesting to hear the Icelandic history

unique experience on the glacier - It was a very nice tour, very interesting. The guide (Bjarmi) and driver (Helgi) are very friendly and knowledgeable. The scenery on the glacier is very unique - an infinity of whiteness - and yes, I liked to ride the gigantic monster truck

On top of the world - THE TOUR- This is a very well thought out and fun way to see the glacier. Our guide, Silke, was amazing with lots of information about Iceland and the glacier. You really feel on top of the world! It’s the perfect combination of indoor (riding the truck) and exploring the glacier “on your own.” They have fun activities and so much knowledge. Really is the best way to be on top of the world! THE STAFF- Talk about going above and beyond. It just so happens that this particular day our guides were able to show us just how kind they are. First, a family joining our tour had car trouble, and we were all asked if we could spare ten minutes. Very considerate of everyone and making sure to accommodate. Then, on the way up the glacier, there was a tour truck that was stuck in the ice. Our driver, Helgi, took the time to pull him out of the ice! Made me very happy we were on the one and only custom built Sleipnir and not the modified trucks that say they don’t get stuck but do. Finally, they went above and beyond for us. We lost our keys on the glacier while sledding and didn’t notice until we got back to the parking lot. Helgi looked for them in the glacier the next day and Silke coordinated their return to the car rental company. IN SHORT- Not only is this tour breathtaking with just the right mix of adventure and awe, the staff are really welcoming and kind people who do the right thing. This isn’t just customer service, it’s human kindness exploring the wonderful world!

An amazing journey!!! - What an amazing vehicle to travel in. We never thought we'd be standing on a glacier, never mind driving on one. Our driver, Hilke was great, and eventually managed to get us off the glacier, despite the melting snow. Kat, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and humorous too. She makes a mean hot chocolate, mixed with Icelandic liquor. A wonderous time was had by all.

Fun way for whole family to see the glacier - 2 adults and an 8 year old had a blast on the tour. We loved sledding on the glacier, got some gorgeous photos and enjoyed the hot chocolate (adults added the Icelandic treat in theirs). The driver and guide were great and kept all of us engaged the whole time. Nice option since our son was scared of the snow mobiles so we could still play on the glacier. Dress warmly! The meeting spot was a regular bus so we had a hard time finding them in the parking lot since there were other monster trucks there but they found us.

Texans in Iceland - The ride to the glacier was fantastic fun and comfortable. Highly recommended this for all but remember you need to meet in Gullfoss so you need to rent a car if in Reykjavík. Guides were awesome and fun! Being on a glacier has allowed me another check on the bucket list.

Very exiting experience - The expérience was amazing, you take place in a very very big truck and you climb on the glacier, we made some stop to take pictures, play golf, slide on sled directly on the glacier. We were able to taste Icelandic specialties during our stop on the glacier in the middle of nowhere. During the trip you see the wonderfulls landscapes over Icelande. The driver was so funny and our guide too. They have explained a lot of things about the glacier and some anecdotes all along the trip
