Hello! I’m a lifelong Icelander with a deep love for this land and a passion for sharing it with curious travellers. I currently live in Akureyri in North Iceland, but over the years I’ve lived in many parts of the country — from remote fishing villages to the lively capital — and that variety gives me a unique perspective I love bringing into my tours. My guests often tell me that my tours feel more like travelling with a local friend than a formal guide. I believe travel should be personal, memorable, and filled with moments you won’t find in a brochure — and that’s exactly what I aim to offer. When I’m not guiding, I’m out exploring, researching new stops, and refining my routes — so even returning guests discover something new. Whether you're visiting for the first time or coming back for more, I’d be honoured to help you experience Iceland in a way that’s meaningful, flexible, and fun. If you’re looking for a private tour with a knowledgeable local who’s genuinely passionate about what they do — I’d love to hear from you. Let’s make your Iceland trip unforgettable. - Licensed Professional driver. - First aid course and additional refresher courses at regular intervals - Fully licensed vehicle by the Icelandic Transport Authority. - Fully licensed Day tour provider by the Icelandic Tourist Board. - Fully licensed Iceland tour guide badge number 1159. - Thirteen years of experience in guiding

Journey through the scenic fjords and rich cultural landscapes of North Iceland on this private, story-filled day tour. We begin with the coastal charm of Dalvík and the historic beauty of Siglufjörður — once the herring capital of the North. In Sauðárkrókur, explore *1238: The Battle of Iceland*, an immersive experience that brings Viking-age sagas to life. Finally, step into Iceland’s turf-roofed past at Glaumbær, a beautifully preserved farmhouse museum. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking views, personal storytelling, and a pace designed entirely around your comfort and curiosity.
We depart from Akureyri, following the fjord to Dalvík for a peaceful village stop. In Siglufjörður, we stroll the colourful harbour and, if you’d like, visit the award-winning Herring Era Museum. Next, in Sauðárkrókur, discover Viking history through interactive exhibits at *1238: The Battle of Iceland*. Our final stop is Glaumbær turf farm — a window into Iceland’s rural life in centuries past. We return to Akureyri via a scenic inland route, taking time for quiet reflection and sweeping valley views.
