    Amazing experience. Well organized tour with fabulous guides ( Sigga & Snypes) that quickly reacted when the weather has changed and plans needed to be adjusted. The route is beyond beautiful.

    This was the last trip of the season. there were 2 feet of snow on the mountain and it was known that Noro virus had infec ted many guests on the cabins. The sanitary conditions in the first hut were dismal, there were latrine style and very smelly toilets. In the second hut, the sower was only lke warm, which was uncomfortable considering the icy cold wind. Some of our members had to double- bunk with strangers. The food was not bad. In our group of 16, there were very different levels of mountaineering experience and fitness. Our tour guide was always in the front, not knowing how some opf the weaker guest were struggling. There should have been two guide, one in the front and one on the back, especially considering the treacherous blizzard conditions. In my opinion, this trek should have had: 2 guides, Much better and safer sanitary conditions of toilets and cooking facilities Guests should have been given the option to cancel the trek, considering the blizzard conditions and the known outbreak of Noro virus. The number of guest should have been limited to 10. The rescue and infectious teams were not equipped to handle on outbreak of Noro virus.

    Amazing views on this hike! The food was really tasty and filling, and there was no shortage of it. The guide really knew the terrain, picking the safest routes and little detours for some extra views. Huts were clean and warm. Highly recommend!

    We had an amazing trip! Our guide Emma was excellent- knowledgeable, skilled, kind, a great cook and so much more! Even though we had a few blunders due to weather and road conditions, we were always well fed and taken taken care of. The trek itself was incredible and Icelandic Mountain Guides are the best in the business to do it with. Highly recommend and would love to do it again!

    The hike was beautiful and very well organized. Our guide - Yonn - did an amazing job of keeping a large group organized and coordinated. His attention to detail, description of locations, local history and knowledge was a great added value. Food was delicious and satisfying. Would suggest limiting group size as we were a large group. Also, the description on tour radar could have more accurately described the hike - providing elevation/topograhic profiles to show the terrain would have been helpful. Despite some challenging weather - would definitely do this again. Have already recommended it to many people! This trek was a wonderful way to see some rugged and beautiful landscape and really get away from it all.
