Reviews
"A fantastic day"
"This experience is one of the most fun, interesting, and enjoyable days ever. We were made to feel at home and were immediately welcomed by our hosts. The history was told to us through pictures and stories, and it was obvious that Icelanders take a huge pride and interest in their culture and roots.
The food was amazing, made in the same way our host's grandmother had taught her as a child. The stories of her family and traditions were a joy.
I would highly recommended this activity to anyone."
