Albert

We start our visit at Skogafoss waterfall and explore it a bit and then we move to the Skogar outdoor museum to visit one of Icelands finest collection of genuine houses donated to the museum and rebuilt here in exactly the original form. We will be introduced to the form and function by a museum guide leading us into the life and struggles of my nation over the centuries.


Do you believe in elves? Icelanders do. Which makes sense after you nightsee the Northern Lights or witness a volcanic eruption while eating rye bread from a hot spring like a Viking. Elves. Why not?

South Iceland

The waterfall was spectacular ( even without a rainbow). The open air museum was fascinating. Loved looking in the small houses, the school house and the chapel. 

An amazing tour.  Albert is a great guide, always ensuring we have ample opportunity to take the perfect postcard.  It's so enjoyable and I would recommend anyone to take the time, sit back and travel to Iceland with Albert.

This is the second time I took this tour (I wanted to get a postcard of the beautiful big abacus in the school building) and it was quite different from the first time.  Albert pointed out more objects inside the museum, and he was able to get a good signal inside one of the thatched houses.  The waterfall was beautiful.  A totally wonderful tour!

Very interesting and informative tour. I love visiting museums and historical sites like this one.

Stunning scenery and an excellent tour guide who takes pride in sharing his country with his backpackers, recommend these tours, thank you xx


I really enjoyed the extend time at the water fall. That was my favorite part.

Lovely to see the changes as the seasons progress, great to go into the tour centre this time some beautiful work in there

Excellent tour, as ever with Albert. The waterfall is stunning and the tour of the older buildings really informative. Thanks Albert - see you again later.

A great tour with the legend that is Albert. Beautiful waterfall & really interesting history about the turf houses. Thank you 😊 

Albert's tours are always entertaining and informative, and this one was no exception. I always want to give more than 5 stars!! Looking forward to his next tour in an hour. thank you Albert for giving us you time 

Another wonderful trip with Albert have done this one before but always enjoy and we got to see some of the things in the museum this time so always worth doing more than once Thanks Albert 💙🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Not only a beautiful waterfall but a tour of an outside museum that told us so much about Icelandic life in the past. Another triumph Albert. You never fail to deliver amazing tours. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing history and lifestyle there

Thank you. Great Tour. So much to learn about all our past lives. 

Interesting museum and turf houses and life in the past

I really enjoyed this brilliant tour with Albert especially the amazing rainbows created by the waterfall. Thank you.

Always entertaining and a joy to tour with! 🤩

Albert's tours are always a superb experience. He takes us to amazing places and gives us so much information. 

Albert never disappoints!  Little did I know back in January that I would be "traveling virtually" to Iceland to see glaciers, erupting volcanoes and lava 
fields, close up,  beautiful waterfalls and turf houses and "riding in a backpack" and car, all virtually of course, with many other travelers..it has and continues to be a wonderful experience with an guide who won't give up until he has given his very best for his travelers.  Thank you, Albert!

Always great to be on a tour with Albert! We love it!!!

Gorgeous tour! And very wondeful and fun tour guide! :)

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The scenery was breath-taking and Albert's enthusiasm and depth of knowledge was inspiring. I can't wait to do this tour again with my grandaughter.

I hadn't booked this tour but just by chance saw it going "live", so joined. Such a good, interesting tour. Albert explained everything so well. Enjoyed tremendously.

Once again, Albert didn't disappoint. Skogafoss Waterfall was stunning, especially with mother nature's rainbows along with the Outdoor Museum. Loved it!

History in the turf, fashioned from the finest of materials, rugged, worn with stories to tell.

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour beautiful scenery Thank You Albert😀

Very interesting your indeed.  Thanks for the history lesson, Albert.  Looking forward to my next tour with you.

Always a delight with Albert. Thoroughly enjoyed this diversion.

A glorious rainbow above a stunning waterfall followed by a trip to a fascinating open air museum.  Albert did it again.

Fantastic tour! That waterfall is stunning! Thank you for all your efforts to make these the best tours ever!

Stunning trip as always Albert, thank you. 

The waterfall in later afternoon had a rainbow so Albert perfectly timed it!  He’s informative in a friendly way.  He responds to guests requests for specific shots readily.  I love joining his tours!  

Missed 1st half but will book again - most interesting - lovely to see Iceland again. Thank you. & here's the book that made me revisit Iceland https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/books/2018/mar/01/sealwoman-s-gift-sally-magnusson-review.   

Albert never ceases to impress me. This morning he found a double rainbow in a waterfall - so beautiful!!  

Very informative! Absolutely beautiful sights!

The sun shine and crated a double rainbow across the waterfall. Hope for the future. Albert then drove us to the Open Air Museum with fascinating examples of old type Icelandic houses. A really interesting tour, thanks Albert.

Major thunderstorm where I live at start of tour and my internet was very poor.  Missed a lot of first part 🤐. Hoping you do another as I really enjoyed the last half of tour in the museum village.  Your tours get booked so fast - I have not been able to get on the volcano one as it's always sold out!!

Really interesting and informative.  I am learning so much about the wonderful country of Iceland from Albert on his tours.  Thank you.

Another fabulous tour, rainbows at the waterfall and then learning about life in Iceland in the turf houses.. interesting, educational and informative as ever.. a wealth of knowledge generously shared, thank you xx

Amazing waterfall followed by outdoor museum .... brilliant tour as always 

We visited Iceland 3 years ago from a tour ship, and no time to see this area.  Thanks for the opportunity to come again!!

Wonderful, informative tour with the knowledgeable Albert. So funny, moments of laugh out loud at the things he said. Albert is a legend. 

Amazing views of the waterfall, not rushed at all. It was a beautiful introduction to the country.


very interesting and picturesque, thank you.

Another amazing tour of Iceland with Albert!


Fantabulous tour in typical Albert style. Ho Ho Ho! Don't miss ANY tour with Albert!

Very good guide, knowledgeable friendly and good humoured!

So enjoyed seeing the beautiful waterfall with the full rainbow going through it, as well as the turf homes near by. Albert is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and makes the tour very educational and enjoyable. I look forward to more with him. 

Thank you for the wonderful experience! I enjoyed your explanations and your humor!

A beautiful day to visit the waterfall. Loved seeing the turf houses and learning of this early architectural style and living. It’s amazing how creative people were when supplies were limited and conditions harsh. 

A brilliant tour with the wonderful Albert.  This was a varied and outstanding tour. The rainbow at the waterfall;  the car journey and the turf houses all made for an extremely interesting tour, thank you x

managed to connect for this tour although a bit late...what a beautiful landscape and waterfall... love the sound of the feet on snow! The museum village was fascinating and showed how determined the settlers must have been and how hard life was in the past...really enjoyed touring with Albert

So lucky to have sun and blue sky, so we could enjoy a rainbow straddling the superb waterfall. Interesting visit to museum. 

Always Fun, educational and stunning scenery. Thank you

Did three of his fantastic tours just today and can’t wait to do more.  What a hard working but also very knowledgeable guide. He definitely has convinced me that this is another spot I need to come visit. He’s great with allowing plenty of time to take photos and is very easy to understand.

A wonderful tour with stunning views and interesting information, thank you.

As always, Albert made this tour to something very special! Thank you!

Another lovely tour by Albert, he's so endearing with his way of speaking and his voice. So sweet how he will count to 5 to ensure we're all ready and on track to take our postcards. Very informative and enjoyable, thank you so much!

nice waterfalls and turf houses... very interesting 

Oh!I could listen to the history all day and on such a sunny day!
Did you order  the rainbow?- absolutely beautiful.
The thought of living in those houses confirms I would not make a good Icelander!
The Welsh had similar houses made of stone and slept alongside or above their animals= tŷ a siambar( house and chamber)- many thanks 

Fabulous tour - thank you Albert👏👏.  I plan to do more of your tours

Stunning - a rainbow through a waterfall.  Scenery that is just breathtaking.  Absolutely out of this world. Many thanks to Albert for sharing this with us.

Excellent visit to the huge waterfall and even seeing a full rainbow-wonderful, thank you

I enjoy your tours Albert thank you for the fantastic postcards and history!

Very interesting to see the turf houses & the waterfall looked so beautiful with the sun on it & its rainbow. Thank you.

Fantastic tour with Albert, if you haven't yet joined one of his wonderful tours of his beloved Iceland, it is time to sign up! This tour included some traditional houses and a glimpse into Icelandic life in days gone by including houses with no heating at all. Highly recommended. 

A really fascinating tour of turf houses and lovely views of the waterfall. Albert goes out of his way to make sure you get the best views and he adds in loads of local detail. 

Another super tour by Albert. I was amazed by the sights of the waterfall! I wasn't too interested in the turf homes, but those were cool to look at and it was nice to get a 'guest guide' for the tour. Thank you Albert very much for the experience. I really love going on tours with you.

While it was enjoyable to visit a country Ihadn’t been to,I did feel the tour lacked a bit of substance.
I realise it must be difficult to present at our in a foreign language I think Albert could include more information. The turf houses were interesting and the young lady taking us around did an admirable job. I know this is a new tour so perhaps it will be fine tuned for a better experience

Thank you to both of you for a very interesting tour.

I only caught the last 2 stops but enjoyed the little I saw

Brilliant tour. Albert is very knowledgeable & entertaining too. 

Excellent informative tour as usual! Thank you 

Albert doesn’t have any times scheduled for this tour.
