My name is Haraldur G. I'm 59 years old and born and raised in Iceland. I'm a friendly and nature loving person and I live with my family in Garðabær, a town next to Reykjavík city. I have many years of experience in guiding tourists around our beautifully iceland, the land of fire and ice, and have a passion for showing travellers the Icelandic untouched Nature which is truly an amazing and fascinating. Experience Iceland with a local guide is the best way to get the most out of your visit and take back home with you the best memories. My customers can choose between two cars, highly modified luxury 4x4 superjeep, Dodge Ram, very comfortable for 1-4 passangers, and a Toyota Landcruiser 4x4 Luxury jeep, comfotable for 1-3 passanger. It is adventure to drive in this modified superjeeps, mainly into the highlands and up to the glaciers, going with a professional driver who knows his country and conditions very well, especially in the winter time when the weather can be unpredictable. I'm in the mountaineering and have been a member of the Icelandic Alpine Club and the Icelandic Mountain & Rescue teams in Iceland for many years, so I know the highlands and the glaciers very well. It is a privilege for me to be a part of Tours By Local and have the possibility to take you to the most significant places, such as the Golden Circle with the Natural Park, Waterfalls, Glaciers and Volcanoes, the Highlands and a lot more great places. I look forward to welcome you and make your Iceland trip unique and unforgettable and safe. Licensed Professional driver. - First aid course. - Fully licensed vehicle by the Icelandic Transport Authority. - Fully licensed Day Tours Provider by the Icelandic Tourist Board. - Member of the Icelandic Mountain & Rescue teams. - Member of the Icelandic Alpine club. - Culinary Master Chef. I do not have any restrictions.

Overview of your Reykjavik tour

I will take you on a private tour to see some of Iceland most precious places which this Golden Circle is, and most visited places in Iceland. Þingvellir the National park and UNESCO WORLD Heritage site and you will experience the old parliament from 930 when the Vikings settled down here in Iceland. You will see some Geologicall which is the only place in the world where you can see this, and walk between the two Continents, North- American and Eurisan tectonic plate. Þingvellir has the most cultural relevance in the Icelandic history and have a place in the heart of the entire Icelandic nation, this is where it all started. You will have the spray in your face from the iconic waterfall Gullfoss and then see Strokkur hotspring the little brother of Geysir spouting hot water 90 ft up in the air every 4-10 min. Lunch stop at Friðheimar tomato farm I have done this tour so often and always absolutely amazing day.

Our full-day Golden Circle tour with Haraldur was fabulous! Our first and longest stop was Thingvellir National Park, with its dramatic rocky scenery and its important place in Icelandic history. We explored the rift area between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, plus much more. We climbed to the top of the stunningly beautiful Gullfoss waterfall, then drove to the Strokkurhot spring geothermal area and Kerid crater. Along the way Haraldur provided expert commentary on the sites. He made it all so interesting and enjoyable, and we learned so much from him. He was so kind and accommodating. This was one of the top highlights of our trip to Iceland. Highly recommended.

Great trip! Haraldur was prompt, friendly, interesting, and knowledgeable, and his car was clean and comfortable. He met us at the airport early and took us numerous interesting places in the Reykjanes Peninsula in spite of the limitations posed by the volcanic eruptions near Grindavik. He filled out the day with sights in Reykjavik and then dropped us at our door to check in. Highly recommend!

Met us on time, and we had 7 hours of very fun and fact filled time together. Communication was easy, made a nice stop for lunch, and arrived back to the ship on time. Highly recommend!
