I am a certified Tour Guide, graduated from The Icelandic School of Travel and Tourism, and a fully licensed Tour Operator by The Icelandic Tourist Board. I am also an actress, graduated from England, and an open, caring, organized person who loves to communicate with people and make them feel happy. I love my country and am eager for you to witness the astonishing landscape on this beautiful island of fire and ice. Before my studies at The Icelandic School of Travel and Tourism, I had traveled all around my country. But for the first time I traveled with a licensed tour guide I realized how much I had been missing because he opened up my eyes to so many new things. Things related to history, geography, geology, and culture. I eyed my island in a different way. That's why I decided to become a Tour Guide, to be able to do the same for my customers. I offer all kinds of tours in beautiful Iceland. Day tours, multiple day tours, and tours customized to your own ideas and longings. I am your host, eager to let you feel welcome and happy all the days you spend in my country. I drive a 2022 Peugeot 5008. A very spacious vehicle which fits up to six passengers. I can of course, if needed, organize tours for bigger groups which includes renting a bigger vehicle/bus. Feel free to contact me with your ideas and thoughts of what you would like to do, your interests, and suggestions and I will customize your trip for you and/or for your group. Iceland is an amazing country with breathtaking scenery and untouched nature and it would be an honor to guide you through it. I believe that I have a talent for creating memorable travel experiences for my guests so go ahead, Eye Iceland with me, see it for yourself. * First aid course. * Professional driver's license. Licensed to drive vans, mini buses and big buses. *Fully certified as a Tour Guide from The Icelandic School of Travel and Tourism *Fully licensed and certified as a Tour Operator from The Icelandic Tourist Board I am not a licensed glacier guide, so if wanting to go for a "glacier-walk" I would have to hire that kind of service upon request.

    Our guide, Erla, was fantastic. Her local knowledge and enthusiasm were tremendous ... yet were somehow exceeded by her kindness and generosity of spirit. A perfect introduction to Iceland!

    We had a wonderful tour with Erla. She was very friendly and responsive from the moment we booked the tour. We had a small wish to visit a waterfall along the way because we didn’t have time for the Golden Circle, and Erla happily adjusted the plan for us. She took us to Kermóafoss, it turned out absolutely stunning. The tour included main city highlights, and Erla...

    Enthusiastic, informative, engaging and just right tour for us. We learned lots of history, local lore and a good amount about geothermals and use throughout Iceland. Learned about geology and the volcanic eruptions and visited lava-filled areas of different durations. Superb guide and person. A memorable adventure for us.

    Honestly, one of the BEST tours we have EVER taken!!! We were absolutely delighted with our day trip with Erla! She is so warm, friendly and good humored. Her knowledge of Iceland history, geology and geography added greatly to our tour. She gave us a wonderful and thoughtfully laid out tour, which minimized being at stops while large crowds were there. It was an awe...
