I'm a local guide in the Reykjavik Area, born and raised mostly in the rural parts of Iceland. I spend most of my free time with my family, fishing or hunting birds in the wilderness of Iceland. I have been guiding for about ten years along with other jobs such as a police officer, commercial fisherman, metal fabricator and many other jobs. I recently decided to devote all my time to guide travelers around my beautiful island as it's the most fun job I've ever had! I love all the tours I do but I think that chasing the Northern Lights is my favorite, it's challenging and there is no guarantee for success so the reward when I find them is addictive and intoxicating. I own a few 19 passenger minibuses and I also have a Tesla Y that I use for tours. I love the nature of Iceland and that's no wonder as the people that travel here usually come to experience that. Although Reykjavík is a nice cozy city I always feel a sense of relief driving away from it and in to the more rural parts of Iceland for the next adventure. I try to give people the experience of freedom and awe on my tours, experiencing the quiet majesty of nature and the solitude of travelling in the most sparsely populated country in Europe. I always welcome any suggestions for customized tours because it's always fun doing things a little bit differently, so if you have any ideas please contact me and I'll see if we can create your perfect tour.

Overview of your Reykjavik tour

On this tour from Reykjavik we will drive along the same path as most of our guests have through the millennia. This milennia old tour consists of Þingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss. We will make some extra stops along the way to experience eggs being cooked in a hot spring, home made ice cream from a farm where we can see the cows, pet horses and eat tomato soup in a tomato greenhouse if the tour is booked with 2 weeks or more advance, tables usually sell out after that. The last but not least stop is at the beautiful Kerið, a 6500 year old volcanic Crater with a pond that by some miracle supports wild trout. All in all an informative and fun day full of different experiences.

Kolbeinn provided a spectacular day for us! He was able to get a mini bus for our group of 4, making it a comfortable day driving the Golden Circle. He had great stories to tell and insights about each area we visited. He was funny and personable- we will always remember my sister saying you would think they’d have instruments for that after one of Kolbeinn’s descriptions! 😂 Visiting the tomato farm for delicious soup, boiling eggs in the hot springs, getting ice cream at a local farm, and visiting the must sees in the circle made for a fabulous day! I would highly recommend doing this tour with Kolbeinn- you won’t be disappointed!

The Golden Circle tour is (deservedly) the most popular day tour from Reykjavik. The sites are spectacular: Gullfoss, geysers, and the National Park, with the lake, waterfalls, rifts and historic sites. Kobe was a very engaging guide. We learned a lot about the sites, but also about life in Iceland, history, and current economic and governmental issue. It was a very interesting tour (and we got to cook eggs in a boiling hot springs!)

Our guide Heiðar filled in for him, and did a superb job! We saw all of the sights of the Golden Circle and enjoyed the day! We were able to get pictures from the perfect locations. We were in town for 2 days and He recommended that we go to Flyover Iceland and take in that as well. We did and we got to see the major sights from the air. Great experience with Heiðar and would recommend this tour!

We very much enjoyed our tour. All the sites were so beautiful and interesting. I especially liked Geysir and Kerid Crater. Our tour guide, Thomas, was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable and very nice.

Our Golden Circle tour with Koby was very nice. Koby was very knowledgeable and informative about the sights we saw. He also answered any questions we had and gave us all the time we needed at each stop.

Kolbien was a friendly guide that customized our tour to our preferences. We 2 travelled in a large bus so had ample room. The only negative was he attended to stay in the bus and let us go to attraction. But all in all it was a good tour.
