Góðan daginn my name is Ingólfur Páll Matthíasson people call me Ingo and I am the expert from the north you have been looking for. As a professional and experienced tour guide for 11 years, I like to share my passion for my home country Iceland with you. I am a light-hearted nature lover and I would like to take you on a journey, where we will make memories, explore stunning places, enjoy special moments and hopefully laugh a lot. I have been guiding tours all over Iceland for more than 11 years and love to show people around. When I am not guiding, you can find me chasing the next outdoor adventure - visiting ice caves, hiking up mountains, riding horses, snowboarding down hills or travelling the world. Sometimes I need to take a break though and then I love to meet some older friends for a game of Bridge, to listen to the birds in the yard or to take my guitar and write some songs. My greatest passion are lava tubes, the caves of Iceland. There is a whole new world underneath the ground which is very fascinating to me and I really enjoy searching for great undiscovered caves in lava fields and especially finding them, which doesn't happen every day. On my tours we will most likely see quite a few birds in their natural environment and you can learn more about them. Like most Icelanders I like to tell stories and I will take you on a journey you will always remember.

    Our family had such a GREAT time with Ingolfer. His vehicle was comfortable and clean, and he was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and showed us a memorable day. Ingolfur even made a side trip so we could climb up to the rim of a crater. He took us to the Secret Lagoon and got in right along with us, extending our opportunity to talk to him and learn more about this...

    I have done 20+ TBL tours and have never had as bad of communication as I did with Ingolfur. I also have never rated a guide less than 5-Stars but regrettably Ingolfur (THE GUIDE I BOOKED WITH) deserves such a low score. I would email him (we were a family of 11) and I knew that presented special challenges) and IF he responded it was usually one word or maybe a...

    We had an incredible tour with Ingo. We went with our family of ten, and he was extremely flexible with every stop. Throughout the whole tour, Ingo taught us local knowledge and kept a lighthearted demeanor the whole day. He made us feel very safe and was very helpful when any of us needed an extra hand. We would HIGHLY recommend taking a day tour with this incredible...
