Very interesting tour in Ilulissat! I had this tour during the winter time and the guide showed us the most famous and old buildings in Ilulissat, such as the Zion Church, the Handcraft workshop, the museums and principal streets, the frozen beach and new buildings in town, monuments and nice facts about this land of icebergs. Wonderful and short tour
