I'm Sigfus Thor S., your private tour guide in Reykjavik

Guide #77489

I'm a local, born and raised in Iceland. I've spent most of my life in the Reykjavík area, with 10 years in Akureyri, North Iceland. I've also lived abroad in Norway, the United States, and Brussels, Belgium, where my two daughters were born. These experiences have shaped how I see my country and how I enjoy sharing it with others. When I'm not guiding, I'm a proud dad of two football-loving (soccer-loving for my U.S. clients) daughters (ages 12 and 15), which makes me a dedicated soccer dad in my free time. I love hiking and have explored all of Iceland's most popular routes, giving me a deep, practical knowledge of the country's landscapes and hidden corners. By background, I'm a political scientist and have spent most of my career working in government. Four years ago, I decided to turn a long-held dream into reality and trained as a licensed guide while still working full-time. I also earned a commercial driving license, allowing me to offer seamless driver-guide services. Since making the switch, I've never looked back. I genuinely enjoy introducing guests to Iceland's nature, history, and culture in a relaxed, fun, and engaging way. My tours are fully customizable and centred on excellent service. My goal is for guests to feel safe, well cared for, and to leave with both knowledge and great memories. I guide in a Mercedes-Benz Vito Tourer, a comfortable mid-sized van with room for luggage. It accommodates up to seven passengers, though five is ideal for maximum comfort. Airport and cruise terminal transfers are available, and larger vehicles can be arranged if needed. When you book with me, the day is yours. Some guests prefer the shortest return to Reykjavík, while others enjoy adding extra stops along the way. I'm flexible and happy to adjust as we go. If you have ideas or special interests, feel free to get in touch. I'm always happy to help design a tour that fits you perfectly.

    This was a wonderful hike. Interesting history and a great guide. I would recommend Sigfus Thor S. for any tour in Iceland. He is friendly and very knowledgeable. Our tour of the town Grindavik helped to understand what people in Iceland live with daily. It was good to hear that Iceland has knowledgeable scientist that monitor all volcanoes in Iceland. Sigfus was...

    We had an absolutely wonderful day exploring Iceland with Siggy! From the moment he picked us up, right on time, at our cruise ship, we knew we were in excellent hands. He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and made the most of our eight hours before our late flight from the airport. It was the perfect way to spend the day rather than waiting around at a hotel or...

    If you are lucky enough to book your private tour of Iceland with Sigfus (he likes to be called Siggy) you won't be disappointed. Siggy truly loves what he does, loves his country, and enjoys sharing his wealth of knowledge in a fun and engaging way. Rather than relying on a "canned" tour, Siggy worked with us to create a customized full-day experience travelling round...

    Our previous day’s Icelandic Tours By Locals guide described Sigfus Thor as “a true Icelandic native” and we would wholeheartedly agree. Sigfus’ knowledge of the Reykjanes Peninsula was absolutely captivating. Having lived through many volcanic eruptions, he recounted the stories of the destructive lava flows and the heroic efforts to save Grindavík and the Blue Lagoon....
