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

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

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


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

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!

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.

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. 

Interesting museum and turf houses and life in the past

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

Thanks for sharing history and lifestyle there

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.

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 💙🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

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 

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

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.

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

A most interesting tour.  Loved it !  And Albert's English was so good.  I would just like to suggest though that he stop at various places long enough for us to take a postcard; but he did with the most interesting things.  We never hear much about Iceland, in Australia.  Look forward to his next tour.

Whilst a beautiful waterfall and very interesting seeing the Turf Houses I was disappointed that the camera moved around too fast - lots of shots of the floor or part of the roof so for the first time ever in one of Albert's tours, I am deducting a *. Sorry! 

Video was a bit shaky at times but we got to see everything that was there

Lovely to see Albert again and revisit some of his great tours!

Thank you so much Albert for the tour :) Thanks to you, I got so lucky to peak at the Skogafoss waterfalls <3 
Loved your throughout and detailed guide for Skogar Museum :) 
Thank you :)

Albert was a wonderful guide and everything he shared was awesome and so very different

The waterfall is stunning and the turf houses give a wonderful insight into the past.  Albert narrates the history of this museum in an interesting and thought provoking way, truly one of the best and most respected guides on Heygo, thank you

Another 10 star tour. Such a lot of information about the waterfall and the outdoor museum. Thank you to Albert and the helper at the museum for a very enjoyable and interesting tour.

This time Albert showed us around the Husasfn open air museum and the Folk Museum - a village as close as you can get to the arctic circle. As well as the little houses there was also a church, school, and barns. We even had the museum manager give us a guided tour. Nearby we saw a 60-metre waterfall - absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much, Albert.

Beautiful area to visit. Lots of good information about the area and the history.

Your tours are great, Albert. For those who have been to Iceland before, it brings back wonderful memories, for those yet to visit - an inspiration! My visit to Iceland in 2020 was far too short, not enough time to see as much as you have shown us with your tours, so that is just amazing. I can't wait to be back there again. Thank you for all your wonderful tours.

Great to see the museum houses and the spectacular landscape. Thanks Albert.  Look forward to the next leg of this amazing day

Another stunning tour from Albert. he is so knowledgeable. Beautiful views of the waterfall and a specially arranged trip to see the turf houses which was very interesting 

Thank you Albert for a  very interesting  tour. Really amazing to see all these fabulous natural  landscapes.

Now I have an idea of what to expect.  I heard that Iceland is not a usual destination landscape wise but the waterfall was superb.  I also now know there are many more in the region.  Spot on Albert!

Fascinating tours with lots of information given by a very knowledgeable guide

Brilliant trip thanks Albert for the tour 


I really enjoyed this trip though it did seem a bit disorganised at times. There were lots of photo opportunities so that was good. I am pleased I took part in the tour and I am looking forward to the trip later today. Thank you.

Another excellent tour from Albert as always. On this tour we started at an amazing waterfall in a beautiful remote location. Then we drove off in the car a very short distance to an open air museum. That is to say a collection of homes farm buildings, a church,  a school etc where the visitor can see the old way of life preserved.  It is an interesting tour. Albert if you ever come to Ireland you must visit Bunratty folk park. It is our open air museum

Another fun day of tours in Iceland with Albert. Love the way Albert uploads new tours so frequently. There's so much to see in Iceland, more than I ever thought if I'm honest! It's incredible to learn more about the history and Iceland's special geography. I really like how varied the tours are from food tours, city tours to tours dedicated to waterfalls, glaciers, etc. The black beach was particularly special. I'm excited to learn about the Icelandic sagas. I wish we could go to Husavik but it seems it's about a 5 hour car journey from Reykjavik, a bit far for Albert to drive!!! Albert gets asked a TONNE of questions on every tour he does and does a great job of answering what he can. I love that he often includes other people, it was great to get a tour from the woman at the museum we visited today. Albert has a great sense of humour which always makes me laugh. Thanks for another packed day Albert!

I am leaving the same comment on all five tours from this morning.  Albert did an amazing job showing all that we missed because of our 2020 trip being cancelled.  Albert did a wonderful job showing us the places of interest and has an imaginative sense of humour.  We most definitely will recommend him to anyone we talk to.  Thank you Albert.

A really informative tour, I really enjoyed the outside museum

Fabulous tour with a fabulous tour guide.

What an excellent tour with Albert and museum guide! 

Enjoyed the tour of the turf houses especially 

I set the whole day aside to tour with Albert and it was worth it. An amazing journey, nature’s artist at its best guided by Albert who is passionate about his country. Albert has provided two of my best days out during lockdown. 

Albert in Iceland offers my favorite virtual tours.  Learning about the ever-changing earth and climate from Iceland's landscape is perfect. Thank you for making it possible.

Albert's tours are always interesting and thought provoking. Thanks.

Sorry
I loved as much as i saw  
I was also on another tour

Albert has put together another great itinerary: stunning waterfalls and an outdoor museum with turf houses and one built from a French shipwreck!  

Excellent informative tour as usual! Thank you 

Brilliant tour. Albert is very knowledgeable & entertaining too. 

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

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

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

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.

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. 

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. 

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

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

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

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.

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

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 

nice waterfalls and turf houses... very interesting 

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!

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

A wonderful tour with stunning views and interesting information, 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.

Always Fun, educational and stunning scenery. Thank you

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

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

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

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. 

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

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. 

Very good guide, knowledgeable friendly and good humoured!
