    An unforgettable tour from start to finish. Landmannalaugar is unlike anything else you can see in Iceland — truly one of a kind. Our guide, Ottar… what can I say? An extraordinary person. He accompanied us at every stop and throughout every site we visited (which not all guides do), allowing us to truly experience each place up close. I consider him a dear friend now. Thank you for everything! Read more
