He picked us up on time and drove us to our designated spots, allowing us to have plenty of time to freely explore, we weren't rushed at all, which makes all the difference. As it was just the two of us on this tour, it made it more special. Marcus stopped off for us to take pictures of Akureyri which was nice and drove us back to the hotel at the end of our day. Thankyou again Marcus,…”
