Our tours in Iceland are organised by the family owned company who have over 60 years experience of arranging escorted coach tours throughout Iceland. Gudmundur, the founder, was chosen by NASA to arrange their travel arrangements when training for the first moon landing and has also guided Sir Edmund Hillary.
