Since I was a teenager I have been travelling around Iceland in my free time - and even today that is what I do when I'm on holiday. Iceland is a endless treasure chest - filled with nature, history and geology, plus of course, stories of people, elves and other Icelander's, and there's always something new to see. I love showing people my beautiful country, so working as a tour guide is my dream job. I started working as a tour guide many years ago, around 1990, but just as a side job. However, from the beginning of 2022, I have been doing it full time. I've been working in tourism for many years, teaching in the icelandic guiding schools, working in safety in tourism and in search and rescue. I'm also a bestseller author of books about Iceland, so travelling and tourism have been my life. My favorite thing is to guide people who are interested in our nature, history and geology, and I love to tell people about those things, but also about things that make us Icelanders unique. For example, how is it to live in a country with so many eruptions and earthquakes. How can we live here in winter when we only have a few hours of daylight? Do we really have daylight 24 hours a day in summer? And lets not forget about the elves - do Icelanders believe in elves? I look forward to take you on one of my tours and tell you about what makes Iceland like no other country in the world, and of course, tell you some stories along the way. Who knows - maybe we will add an extra unexpected stop! I am a Licenced Tour Guide in Iceland, and possess a Hiking Guide License too. I also have a Day Tours permit, as well as permit to transport tourists in my own vehicle - LandRover Defender (4 pax) but I also have access to other vehicles for more passengers if needed. Love to make customize tours so don't hesitate to contact me. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Rural Tourism, which further helps me to create good experience for my guests. I have been an active member of Search & Rescue for 35 years, as well as working in search and rescue too, by teaching about safety in Tourism, outdoors, first aid, orienteering and more for many, many years.

Overview of your Reykjavik tour

On this classic Golden Circle day tour you will visit all the main attractions. . . and more with a local guide which gives your tour a better experience. Þingvellir National Park - a geological wonder where you will walk down between the tectonic plates but also just such a beatiful place - full of history. Geysir geothermal where the erupting Strokkur catches the attention when erupting in average every 4 - 6 minutes but other hot springs are also worth the attention - bubbling and spouting. Gullfoss waterfall short distance away and by so many considered to be the most beatiful one here in Iceland. Our lunch brake where you will see how we Icelanders use our geothermal energy and you will as well taste their most famous tomato soup or some other tomato products - like the tomato beer. And before we head back to Reykjavik a relaxing moment in The Secret Lagoon geothermal pool.

Your Reykjavik tour itinerary

The following itinerary could be turned, meaning, we could schedule the stops in a different order to avoid the most crowded hours. It's also customizable per request. First stop is Þingvellir National Park and if you are a Games of Thrones fan - get ready to experince the Wall. First stop is Hakið, amazing viewpoint over the area and then we will walk down Almannagjá rift - in between the continents. Next stop, 45 minutes away is Geysir geothermal area where will walk to the erupting Strokkur hot spring and also stop by some others, bubbling and spouting with hizzing noises. Gullfoss waterfall or the Golden waterfall, 32 meters high (105 feet) but a feast for your eye when dropping in two levels down into a canyon and we will visit both levels to enjoy the waterfall. Friðheimar tomato and horse farm is a unique visit in so many ways - lunch at the bar (unless we are so lucky that their is a availability for a table) - tomato soup and more. . Last stop, Secret Lagoon geothermal pool - so relaxing
