I'm Júlíus Freyr T., your private tour guide in Akureyri

Guide #62155

Hello! I’m a lifelong Icelander with a deep love for this land and a passion for sharing it with curious travellers. I currently live in Akureyri in North Iceland, but over the years I’ve lived in many parts of the country — from remote fishing villages to the lively capital — and that variety gives me a unique perspective I love bringing into my tours. My guests often tell me that my tours feel more like travelling with a local friend than a formal guide. I believe travel should be personal, memorable, and filled with moments you won’t find in a brochure — and that’s exactly what I aim to offer. When I’m not guiding, I’m out exploring, researching new stops, and refining my routes — so even returning guests discover something new. Whether you're visiting for the first time or coming back for more, I’d be honoured to help you experience Iceland in a way that’s meaningful, flexible, and fun. If you’re looking for a private tour with a knowledgeable local who’s genuinely passionate about what they do — I’d love to hear from you. Let’s make your Iceland trip unforgettable. - Licensed Professional driver. - First aid course and additional refresher courses at regular intervals - Fully licensed vehicle by the Icelandic Transport Authority. - Fully licensed Day tour provider by the Icelandic Tourist Board. - Fully licensed Iceland tour guide badge number 1159. - Thirteen years of experience in guiding

    Júlíus made our tour not only special but more than we could hoped for. The scenery and land scape are amazing but Júlíus brought it to life. Júlíus is very knowledgeable about the area and Iceland in general and knows how to bring it all together in fun and interesting way. If you go, and you really should, be sure to ask Júlíus about the Christmas Lads. He will tell...

    Thank you so very much for this review, I guess I have to start retelling the story of the Yule Lads now.

    We booked a tour with Julius as 3 couples. It was the perfect tour. We visited the 2 sites plus he made a couple of other interesting stops. It was a perfect way to spend the day and Julius is very personable and fun. I would recommend him as a tour guide for any travelers.

    Our trip to Akureyri was an absolute dream and a huge part of that was due to our incredible tour guide Julli. From the moment we met, he was so friendly and welcoming, and his passion for Iceland‘s history, geology and culture was infectious. He didn’t just drive us from place to place. He brought each location to life with fascinating stories and insights. His deep...

    Wow — what a message! Thank you so much for those kind words! I’m genuinely blushing over here (which is quite a sight on a pale Icelander). It was such a joy spending the day with you, great company.. I’m thrilled you enjoyed it as much as I did. Hope to see you back up north someday :)

    FANTASTIC! I absolutely recommend that you engage Julius to conduct this tour for you. He is knowledgeable, energetic, considerate, and flexible. Most impressively, he is passionate and enthusiastic about his country and eager to share it with you. Do not be intimidated by the duration of the tour -- the time will fly past, and Julius will allow as much or as little...
