I'm a local, born and raised in Iceland. I've spent most of my life in the Reykjavík area, with 10 years in Akureyri, North Iceland. I've also lived abroad in Norway, the United States, and Brussels, Belgium, where my two daughters were born. These experiences have shaped how I see my country and how I enjoy sharing it with others. When I'm not guiding, I'm a proud dad of two football-loving (soccer-loving for my U.S. clients) daughters (ages 12 and 15), which makes me a dedicated soccer dad in my free time. I love hiking and have explored all of Iceland's most popular routes, giving me a deep, practical knowledge of the country's landscapes and hidden corners. By background, I'm a political scientist and have spent most of my career working in government. Four years ago, I decided to turn a long-held dream into reality and trained as a licensed guide while still working full-time. I also earned a commercial driving license, allowing me to offer seamless driver-guide services. Since making the switch, I've never looked back. I genuinely enjoy introducing guests to Iceland's nature, history, and culture in a relaxed, fun, and engaging way. My tours are fully customizable and centred on excellent service. My goal is for guests to feel safe, well cared for, and to leave with both knowledge and great memories. I guide in a Mercedes-Benz Vito Tourer, a comfortable mid-sized van with room for luggage. It accommodates up to seven passengers, though five is ideal for maximum comfort. Airport and cruise terminal transfers are available, and larger vehicles can be arranged if needed. When you book with me, the day is yours. Some guests prefer the shortest return to Reykjavík, while others enjoy adding extra stops along the way. I'm flexible and happy to adjust as we go. If you have ideas or special interests, feel free to get in touch. I'm always happy to help design a tour that fits you perfectly.

Overview of your Reykjavik tour

The Golden Circle is Iceland’s most popular tour, and for good reason: it covers Iceland's most famous waterfall plus a UNESCO World Heritage Site and National Park where Alþingi (our parliament) was established back in the year 930. But on this tour, we'll go beyond the traditional Golden Circle, making a couple of extra stops of your choosing, and according to the time you decided to spend on each of our standard stops. Don't worry too much about time though, for I like to be rather flexible with visitors. For instance, in the Þingvellir National Park, we could also add a visit to the Öxarárfoss Waterfall. Among other stops you can opt to include are Friðheimar (Greenhouse Tomato Farm), the Brúarfoss Waterfall & the hot springs by Laugarvatn lake. As we explore, we'll come across sheep & horses, which I'm very well acquainted with, since I used to work on a farm. Since this is a private tour, I'll be happy to tailor it to your needs and interests, so please let me know what you'd prefer!

Your Reykjavik tour itinerary

-After picking you up from an agreed location, we'll first visit the beautiful Þingvellir National Park, where we'll see how the tectonic plates are moving apart. -Around an hour later, we'll depart to the Geysir area, where we will witness the active geysir Strokkur erupt, before visiting the dormant giant Geysir itself. This area would be the best to have lunch at. -Later, we'll depart to the Gullfoss waterfall, known for its power and beauty, where we'll stop to take in its breathtaking views. -Our next stop will be Kerid Crater, where you can opt to go either into or around the 6500-year-old Kerið crater, which is an addition to the classical Golden Circle. -At last, we'll return so I drop you off where I picked you up from or in a different place of your preference.

Mercedes-Benz Vito Tourer model 2022. Takes up to 7 passengers but is comfortable for 5. It is the more extended version, so I have enough space for luggage if needed. It is 4WD, which is often good to have in the wintertime here in Iceland. If you needed a bigger car/bus, I could deliver the tour on a Mercedes Sprinter for an additional cost so please contact me before booking if you'd like to request it.
