“Andres (our driver) was great. He’s lived his entire life in Reykjavik area and so knew everything. We made several stops to get out and actually explore a bit; one outside the norm to get some ice cream at a little stand. Also, he made special efforts to accommodate one person in our group with mobility issues. That’s above and beyond what we expected. Really nice way to spend the one full day we had in Iceland.”
