The best of Iceland!

My 17 year old son and I spent the day with Manni in the highlands visiting Landmannalauga, and it was amazing! I highly recommend both the trip and the guide. This is a small tour operator, and the service is excellent and highly personalized. Manni...More

A day well spent

The day with Manni was well worth it. We visited sites, I otherwise had no access to. It had the feel of going out with a friend. Manni was patient and helpful with my two teens. He shared historical, cultural and socio-economic insights through a...More

Authentic Iceland experience.

Driving around in a cramped tour bus for hours, seeing the sights through a dirty bus window is my travel nightmare. I seek out opportunities to experience a place as a local would. The Highlands tour with Manni more than delivered. My time with Manni...More

Don't want to be herded on a bus? Do this.

This is one of those places that you don't want to tell anyone about because it's incredibly unspoiled, but you have to tell people about because the owner is so cool, so here it goes. If you want to get away from all the tourists,...More
