My name is Sóla. I am born here in Iceland. I love to hike up in the mountains, watch the birds in the summer time and swim in our geothermal swimming pools the whole year around. I studied photography in the States many years ago, worked in Germany and studied French in France. As a child my family spent one year in Denmark. I started tour guiding at 22 when I came home from France because of my knowlege of French. Back then all the roads were dirt roads, there were no telephones and we slept in tents and I still enjoy camping out and hiking out in the nature! I would love to share with you my love for my country and share with you some of it's most beautiful places. Be it the most popular turist spots or the remote and untouched wildernes areas, qaint little villages or cafés. I try my very best to show you the places that would appeal to you. I have a great knowledge of my country and have been working as a tour guide and a driver guide for many many years. I have a fully licensed and a very comfortable and spacious 4x4 Ford Excursion that can take you amost everywhere. Hope to hear from you soon. Greetings from Iceland. Fully licensed Day Tour Operator from the Icelandic Tourist Board. A valid passenger transportation licence from the Icelandic Transport Authority. A fully insured vehicle and guide for passenger transportation. Up to date first aid courses from the Icelandic Red Cross. None

Iceland in a nutshell.
Overview of your Reykjavik tour
The Snæfellsnes peninsula has such a unique landscape. It is full of beautiful beaches and coves, fishing villages, waterfalls, high mountains and the home to the famous Snaefellsjokull Glacier. In the past farmers would send their workers to the coast in the middle of the winter to fish cod. It was a tough and dangerous job. Many hundred men were sometimes staying by Djupalonssandur or in other coves in Snaefellsnes for months at a time. At Bjarnarhofn farm they no longer catch the Greenland shark but they are among the only ones in Iceland that still process the shark today. If interested we can pay them a visit (not included in price). In the winter we always have the chance to view of the Northern Lights in the evening. The days are short and the nights are long. We travel in a sturdy and spacious 4 x 4 truck.

We so enjoyed our two day trip with Sola. She was warm, professional and very knowledgeable about her country, its people and its rich history. She took us to amazing places allowing us as much time as we needed at each site. She made excellent recommendations for accommodations and restaurants. She even made arrangements for our daughter to ride an Icelandic horse along the yellow sand beach. She showed us some of her favorite places that were off the beaten path. It’s clear that Sola really loves showing off her country. We loved getting to know her and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone traveling to Iceland. Thank you Sola!
