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.

Overview of your Reykjavik tour

This area is a true local gem not many tourists experience. It's rich of beautiful landscapes and history from WW2. We start by visiting the Peace and War Museum which displays an interesting collection of local WW2 items. Fossarétt is a nice little waterfall in the river Fossá next to ruins of a traditional structure of round up of the sheep in fall. We then go to Hvammsvík where you can dip into one, or all of the eight amazing different temperature Hot Springs or go swimming in the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by beautiful mountains and black beaches. The Wine School by the Lake is located by the Meðalfellsvatn lake where host Bjorn will introduce some wine with charcuterie and wonderful views over the lake. The visit is subject to reservation and availability. If weather and time allow, we will stop at Kiðafell Museum where you find a diverse collection of old farm machinery in the barn along with marine and agricultural relics.
