What luck we had when we found a local tour company in Iceland called “Travelling Viking”. We were on a cruise around Iceland and wanted to have small or private tours rather than the ones the ship offered. We found “Travelling Viking” on the internet (www.ttv.is) and arranged for private guided tours of Akureyri and Husavik. The owner of the company (Jon Thor Ben) was our guide and as well as driver. He does tours of the north eastern part of Iceland and is very knowledgeable about the area since he grew up in the area. His prices for the private tours were less than the group prices for the cruise line (Silversea). He adjusts the tour according to the clients’ interests and as a bonus has a great sense of humor. He does offer a Hop on and off bus tour of Akureyri but we did not have time to take that tour. He covers all or more than is covered in group tours and makes sure to schedule his stops when the large tour buses are not there. He also is very prompt in answering emails. Not only did we have a great experience but we found it a great value as well.
