FAQ regarding disease control measures at the border
Please, book a tour now so I have something to look forward to 🙂 I have only 3-4 bookings so far this summer! 🙂
Allow me to suggest the Flateyjardalur day tour. It’s a new product that takes us to the most beautiful valley in the area and it’s “free from other tourists”. I can honestly say that we have the valley to ourselves.
Best regards,
