Tour guide in Reykjavik Björn G.
I'm Björn G., your private tour guide in Reykjavik
Guide #54604
Hi My name is Björn ( it means Bear) yes we name people after animals in Iceland! On my tours, I like to treat everyone like old friends. Keeping things chill and honest makes the whole day way more enjoyable. My goal is to make sure the day doesn’t feel like you’re being bombarded with a bunch of random facts, like exact dates or the names of every mountain in Iceland (trust me, you won’t remember them five minutes later anyway!). Instead, we’ll keep it light, fun, and feel like we’re just cruising around with friends on a Sunday drive. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still fill you in on everything you need to know— the more questions you ask, the better the tour will be! More about me I´m new here at tours by locals but have been a guide since 2012 and lived in Iceland all my life, that means there is just about no place in Iceland where I have not been. Since I got my drivers license I have been a flyfishing guide assisting people that are fishing Atlantic Salmon. That is how I started guiding and showing people my beautiful country I´m knowledgeable about, geology, history, geography, culture, economics of Iceland and of course politics ( if you dare to talk about that) . You can feel free to ask for custom made tours or adjustments any tours. If you have an idea I can make it happen. Group size: 1 - 6 ( for 7+ please send message ) type of guide: Driver guide vehicles: Mercedes V-class, Toyota land cruiser jeep, mini bus or just about anything your group needs Tours: custom made tours and all other tours from Reykjavik With over a decade of guiding experience, I am committed to making your time in Iceland as smooth, fun and memorable as possible. Let me share my love for this beautiful country with you and provide a tour experience that’s personal, engaging, and truly one-of-a-kind. I look forward to showing you the wonders of Iceland! - Licensed professional driver - all vehicles licensed & insured - licensed travel agency - BS degree in Finance university of Iceland

This was out third tour with Bjorn, which says something about him. His tours are entirely based on what you want to do. He offers suggestions but you determine the schedule and destinations. His English is flawless which compliments his sense of humor. He knows Iceland inside and out. Transportation is comfortable. No one better.

August 2026Hi Kathy Always a pleasure meeting you, slowly getting to know all your friends and family now one tour at a time 🙂 Until next time……
Peggy R.United States2 weeks agoWe loved our tour with Bjorn. He was very knowledgeable about the south coast and open to making stops along the route. We are birders and though he doesn't advertise as a birding guide, we found that he knows a lot about the birds in the area. We made several unplanned stops along the way to get a look at birds that are new to us. And we got the absolute best look at...

August 2026Hi Peggy Thank you for the review. I also learned a lot this day so thanks for that. The whale jumping at Reynisfjara was the top of the day definitely! That is something that does not happen often

Wonderful tour - Bjorn picked us up at the port in a large van that held all of the luggage for the 4 of us. It was cold and rainy, but we made the best of it and stopped at all of the places we had discussed. Enjoyed stopping to see the lava fields (and getting to touch a piece of the lava). Had a nice stop for hot chocolate and cake -- really nice cafe in a small...
