Summary:
Highly recommended! Keel was an excellent guide: very friendly and attentive. He even called us before the tour to remind us of the pickup time and let us know he was on his way, which was a very helpful detail. We very much appreciated you speaking in Spanish as it made everything much more comfortable.
The tour of Snæfellsnes was amazing, but the best thing was the stop at the horse farm. The food we were offered there was delicious: fish, lasagne, vegan chicken, rice, bread with garlic butter, coffee and a homemade chocolate cake that left us speechless.
If you’re looking for a comfortable, well-guided and good food tour, Keel is your choice!
