Laifur did an amazing job coping with 14 of us who all knew each other. He was friendly, funny and polite, not to mention, incredibly knowledgeable about fact, figures, geology and the retail situation in many of Iceland's regions. He gave us the perfect amount of time at each stop to refuel and enjoy the site seeing whilst covering a lot of ground. Thank you!
