Excellent information we had a ball can’t wait to come back again. The driver gave excellent information on the tour and answered all her questions.

We had a great time on this trip, but the tour guide, Kevin was an older gentleman that really wasn't very nice or helpful. If we had a different tour guide, we would have had a better time. Also, nothing was said about the Viking Coast, we wanted to hear about the Vikings, a bit disappointing.

Good tour. Take pictures early on the holy island. Fog rolls in quick and hides the castle from view.
