Witty, funny and absolutely thrilled me and the 12 other passengers on this small group tour, with his stories of Icelandic Folklore, Skúli has an incredible wealth of knowledge about all the wonderful sights we visited that day. He made additional stops so we could have multiple photo opportunities, and on the journey back to Reykjavik he pulled off to the side of the road to allow us to take photos of the Northern Lights, what an absolute bonus!
