Otto is the Best! - I did the glacier hike with Otto and it was a fantastic, action-packed full day! We also made a couple of stops at some amazing places…one was Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach where scenes from Game of Thrones was filmed. I’m not sure if this was originally part of the tour but on the hike, one of the participants got an injury. Otto saw to her needs with the utmost professionalism and managed our tour so that everyone had a great time. I can’t speak highly enough of Otto…join him for an adventure!

"Otto" the true viking - Our trip to the south cost was magnificent. The views were stunning and Otto's trip planning was stunning too. He took us through many picturesque landscapes, throughout the downpour and sunshine, from dawn to dusk, and from Keflavik to Vik.
Our trip was truly mesmerizing, and OTTO is one of a kind. He talks so heartily and gives out so much valuable Icelandic treasures for information. And his drives are always enjoyable. His perfect mix of pitstops and roads, never make us bored. Furthermore, he knows just where to stop for some food and makes our mouths tremble in the process (especially the black crust pizza place). In conclusion our trip with Otto will never be forgotten and will remain cherished in our memories forever.
Thanks a lot for the amazing experience, OTTO!
