All of the above is computed from Íshestar Riding Tours'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: ishestar.is — same price there as here.
Google reviews of Íshestar Riding Tours as a company — not of one specific tour.
Wonderful! Small group really appreciate the attention we were given. Loved to have personal space with the horses before we road. Great trainers took time to explain everything. They took pictures/ video of us riding with our phones for great memories. One hour was perfectly pleasant for us to enjoy.

Horses and Waffles tour was perfect for beginners and young kids. The trainers, instructions, and of course horses were amazing. We all had a really good experience and highly recommend this place. Ending the tour on a sweet note with complimentary waffles and hot chocolate was awesome.

Such a fun experience, its suitable for both beginner or experienced riders, on the icelandic poneys you will experience the tolt. Dont miss out a ride in the most stunning scenic views
Leena Amiri
Wonderful trek out on beautiful Icelandic horses, who all knew their jobs so well (but would also move out to a canter when we wanted them to!) impressive network of trails up.to the lava fields and great to feel the tolt as well, the 5th gait unique to Icelandics

Their departures we sell start from Reykjavík, Hafnarfjordur, Hafnarfjörður. Check the map on each tour page for the exact meeting point.
Their tours are guided in English, German and Icelandic, according to their own product records. Where a tour is audio-guided rather than led by a person, the tour page says so.
