Hi, I am Sigga and I'm a guide in Iceland. I grew up in Reykjavik but spent summers at a farm in the countryside where I really learned to love and appreciate the Icelandic nature. I herded cows, fed lambs and mowed fields in between hours of wading streams, making "homes" in caves, climbing rock formations and playing with the elves. I am a mother of twins and when they were growing up we loved travelling together in Iceland; camping, hiking, skiing and taking a dip into pools or hot springs. It is such a privilege being so close to untouched nature. Although I like my name, Sigríður (meaning victory), It can be a mouthful for foreigners. So when I first lived abroad I took the nickname Sigga, which made life a lot easier for my foreign friends, many of whom I have guided in Iceland. When living abroad I would long for the Icelandic nature, the magnificent Icelandic views and the fresh air. The closeness to nature is what I value the most about our scarcely populated country. During stressful times in my life and when I need to recharge I escape to nature. I had a few professional roles before becoming a guide. In my "previous lives" I was a flight attendant, worked in film and television, anchored TV news, ran an outdoor cafe by the sea, volunteered for NGO's and managed construction projects. But nothing gives me as much fulfillment as sharing with others the great nature and history of Iceland. I am proud to be part of the ToursByLocals team and look forward to welcoming you as a guest on my tours and share with you my personal knowledge of my wonderful country, its history, landscapes and culture Licensed Professional Driver qualified to drive up to 50 passengers First aid course Fully licensed vehicle by the Icelandic Transport Authority Fully licenced Travel Agency by the Icelandic Tourist Board MA in Journalism from Bournemouth University PGC from the Institute of Family Therapy in Malta I am not a qualified glacier guide and will hire such services upon request.

The Golden Circle is an absolute must when in the South of Iceland. The route takes us to the famous "original" Geysir all other geysirs take their name from. Although it is technically active, it has not erupted since 2016. However, it's neighbouring geysir, Strokkur, is putting up a show every 10 minutes. Gullfoss waterfall is one of Iceland's most iconic waterfalls placed in the Hvítá river and close to Geysir. On our way to Geysir, we stop at Þingvellir, where the first national parliament in the world was established in 930. The Viking Age Congress is placed in scenic surroundings on the Atlantic Ocean ridge between the American tectonic plate and the Eurasian plate. We will have lunch, either at the Tomato farm, Friðheimar, or at a local farm. If weather and time allows we'll add some stops, such as at crater Kerið, or the Secret Lagoon before the drive back to Reykjavik

Sigga was wonderful. We were a group of 10 people and Sigga rented a comfortable van for all of us and managed to get us all around the Golden Circle and back to the ship on time. She made a special stop as requested too. We would highly recommend her for a tour! You will not be disappointed!
Sigga is an incredible tour guide. She is extremely knowledgeable about all things Icelandic. We moved along ahead of schedule, so she added several additional great stops to our tour. Since we wanted to eat dinner in downtown Reykjavik, she gave us restaurant recommendations and dropped us off there after the tour. I highly recommend her.
Sigga was wonderful. The tour far exceeded our expectations. We did the “Golden Circle” tour and could not have enjoyed it more. We had plane trouble and were arriving late but she modified the tour to suit our timing. Her communication skills were excellent and her personal insights really added to the tour. Very knowledgeable and very likable. The pace of the tour and her recommendations were perfect. The lunch she arranged was a definite highlight. If I’m ever back in Reykjavic I would enthusiastically schedule her again. I recommend her without reservation.
Sigga was very personable and made the tour very enjoyable. Great tour guide. Scott H
Sigga was amazing! We loved her knowledge of Iceland and each area we visited. Loved the smaller venues she added. Great lunch selection too! Darling! Highly recommend 😃
I recommend an early start to this tour to beat the traffic as this is a very popular route. - We will visit the three locations of the Golden Circle: Geysir, Gullfoss, and Thingvellir There may be slight changes to other activities depending on factors such as weather - or your wishes. Do not worry if the weather is bad, we will make the most of the day. Most importantly, we will take time to enjoy the unexpected each day has to offer. The itinerary is flexible, for any changes please let me know.
