Guide #58088
I've been a professional tour guide since 2010. I work now almost full time as a licensed driving guide, taking groups of all sizes, from 1 or 2 people intimate tours up to full 50 person bus tours. I am born and raised in Iceland and love the outdoors and taking guests around Iceland, Greenland and Germany. My main base is Reykjavik, but I have a second base in Myvatn in the North of Iceland so I am happy to take tours out of Akureyri whenever possible. I am a true story teller and specially passionate about history, geology and the Iceland Sagas with a personal twist. Icelandic is my mother-tongue and I speak fluent English and German. I have three sons, two cats and one horse. I have a Master Degree in Communication in Culture from the University of Iceland and part of the study took place in the University of the Arts in Berlin, Germany. My background is in the theater and working in films, both as an actress, director and Casting director. I soon realized I was the happiest doing my side job; guiding. So, for the last years it has taken over my life, simply because I love it. I take pride in the fact that the travelers give me enthusiastic feedback and many are still in touch with me, even years after their initial trip to Iceland. They really like what I have to show them and my way of making sure that the experience is full of surprises and great enjoyment. I also love Greenland and guide tours there whenever I have a chance. My most recent review: "Everyone was THRILLED with the trip. They all said it was a fantastic vacation. They were so happy they got to see the Northern Lights for three nights but they also said all of the activities were great and the trip as a whole was wonderful. We all agreed that we wished you planned trips in every country in the world because your knowledge and your care and your price planning to meet everyone's needs are THE BEST.
