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

Indulge in a private escape through North Iceland’s dramatic beauty, rich heritage, and soothing geothermal luxury. We begin at Goðafoss, the awe-inspiring “Waterfall of the Gods,” where I’ll guide you to the most scenic vantage points and share the legend that gives this place its name. Then, unwind at the exquisite Forest Lagoon — a serene, forest-fringed geothermal spa overlooking Eyjafjörður fjord. Immerse yourself in warm, mineral-rich waters and take in the tranquillity of nature, far from the crowds. Enjoy a relaxed, unhurried pace with personalized touches and local insight throughout the day. From storytelling to scenery, every element is tailored to create a seamless, memorable experience designed just for you.
We booked a tour with Julius as 3 couples. It was the perfect tour. We visited the 2 sites plus he made a couple of other interesting stops. It was a perfect way to spend the day and Julius is very personable and fun. I would recommend him as a tour guide for any travelers.
This was a stellar tour!! Julius is a very nice easy going young man that shared great stories of life in Iceland, growing up and legends of the land. The tour was perfect. Highly recommend a day with Julius. Exceptional drive with a very comfortable vehicle . Great insight into the country and visited spots unknown!! The hot tunnel was a fave of mine!!
Hands down one be of the best tours we’ve been on. Jullus was knowledgeable and funny! His Mercedes van was spacious and comfortable. He was gracious and provided water and local goodies. Can’t wait to come back and visit in the winter to go on a Super Jeep with him.
Fantastic tour, thanks to Julius. He shared his knowledge of the local culture and history in a humorous manner. Godafoss Falls was a one of a kind spot. Forest Lagoon was spectacular. I want to return after complete the new extension.

Julius was a a brilliant it was like going on tour with a friend. One of our group using a crutch he went out of his way to make sure we all saw everything. The waterfall was beautiful the forest lagoon truly wonderful experience and the tunnel very interesting. Tour around the town to finish a memorable tour. Julius made sure each of us got the most of our time in his beautiful town.
