All of the above is computed from Ice Guardians Iceland's own 5 product records, not from a questionnaire. Fleet size and typical group sizes are the figures a comparison table usually shows; Bókun does not carry them, so we would be guessing, and we would rather leave a gap than fill it in.
From the operator's own Bókun vendor record. The year is when the company's registration number was issued, which is the closest thing to a founding date that can be checked at skatturinn.is; the brand may be older or younger than the company. Their own site: ice-guardians.com — same price there as here.
Google reviews of Ice Guardians Iceland as a company — not of one specific tour.
My husband and I did a full day glacier hike/ice climb followed by a half day canyon the next day. Both tours were absolutely incredible! We were able to provide input with our routes and how our tours progressed. We felt perfectly safe, yet wonderfully challenged each day. We learned so much while having an absolute blast! I couldn’t recommend Ice Guardians enough and would happily use their services again in a heartbeat!

I cannot recommend touring with Ice Guardians enough and am so deeply grateful to have gone on a private tour with Kish!!!! The access and expertise we had was truly unmatched. Throughout the trip, I felt a great deal of sympathy for the other tour groups, whose numbers were in the dozens and whose treks were hardly off the road. It was incredible to get so far off the beaten path, truly immersed in untouched parts of nature, and to be guided by such a fun, knowledgeable, exemplary tour guide. I felt safe, empowered, supported, and happy the entire time. I am so grateful to Kish and Ice Guardians for this once-in-a-lifetime experience and cannot stress enough how big of a difference it made to go with mountaineering expertise, to receive geologist subject matter expertise, and to overall have a lovely day with a certified mountain chiller. No amount of money could be worth it, and no amount of words could describe, how beautiful the increasingly receding glaciers were and how exciting it was to ice climb throughout this otherworldly landscape. I gained even more appreciation for nature after receiving such wonderful education during my tour and having all of my questions answered by a geological expert. I hope to go back to Iceland someday and book additional tours solely because of how incredible this experience was. Thank you so much to Kish and Ice Guardians!!!! Best time ever.

An incredible day on the glacier which went above and beyond our wildest expectations. All the other tours stopped at a small cave filing in multiple people after a short walk while we spent the day exploring the glacier with our own private guide, visiting an ice cave without another soul in sight. Followed by Rich making an entrance to a beautiful blue crevasse into which we were lowered and spent time exploring. We then walked up to the amazing ice fall before making our way back down the glacier treated to a beautiful sunset. Despite being a full day the pace was perfect and Rich made sure we stayed safe.

This was our second time to Iceland and we did a run of the mill glacier tour on our first trip. It was good when you dont know any better. But you're kind of like cattle getting ushered single file around the glacer with a bunch of other tour groups all following the same path. If you want a more adventurous tour thats WAY more personal without the crowds of the more mainstream tour groups Ice Guardians is the way to go. Our guide Kish was very knowledgeable and gave us options on how we wanted to spend the day hiking the glacier. We got to do some of everything and to be honest I'm kind of hard to impress and this exceed all my expectations. Thanks Ice Guardians!
