Hi My name is Björn ( it means Bear) yes we name people after animals in Iceland! On my tours, I like to treat everyone like old friends. Keeping things chill and honest makes the whole day way more enjoyable. My goal is to make sure the day doesn’t feel like you’re being bombarded with a bunch of random facts, like exact dates or the names of every mountain in Iceland (trust me, you won’t remember them five minutes later anyway!). Instead, we’ll keep it light, fun, and feel like we’re just cruising around with friends on a Sunday drive. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still fill you in on everything you need to know— the more questions you ask, the better the tour will be! More about me I´m new here at tours by locals but have been a guide since 2012 and lived in Iceland all my life, that means there is just about no place in Iceland where I have not been. Since I got my drivers license I have been a flyfishing guide assisting people that are fishing Atlantic Salmon. That is how I started guiding and showing people my beautiful country I´m knowledgeable about, geology, history, geography, culture, economics of Iceland and of course politics ( if you dare to talk about that) . You can feel free to ask for custom made tours or adjustments any tours. If you have an idea I can make it happen. Group size: 1 - 6 ( for 7+ please send message ) type of guide: Driver guide vehicles: Mercedes V-class, Toyota land cruiser jeep, mini bus or just about anything your group needs Tours: custom made tours and all other tours from Reykjavik With over a decade of guiding experience, I am committed to making your time in Iceland as smooth, fun and memorable as possible. Let me share my love for this beautiful country with you and provide a tour experience that’s personal, engaging, and truly one-of-a-kind. I look forward to showing you the wonders of Iceland! - Licensed professional driver - all vehicles licensed & insured - licensed travel agency - BS degree in Finance university of Iceland

Start the Super Golden Circle with a scenic drive to Haifoss, Iceland’s second tallest waterfall, offering breathtaking views of an ancient glacier valley. Continue to "Gjain" a rift formed by a melting Ice Age glacier over 9,000 years ago and visit Stöng, a reconstructed Viking house from the Commonwealth era. Hike through the rift (optional), taking in waterfalls and dramatic basalt cliffs. Make a quick stop at Hjalparfoss, a stunning double waterfall, then head to Fridheimar Greenhouse for lunch at a unique tomato farm and restaurant (reservations recommended). Afterward, visit the Geysir Geothermal Area, where Strokkur erupts every 5-8 minutes, shooting water 30-40 meters high. Next, experience the powerful Gullfoss waterfall, which drops 32 meters in two stages. On sunny days, shimmering rainbows often appear over the falls. Finish your day at Thingvellir National Park, where the world’s oldest active parliament was established, and witness the drifting of the American and Eurasian tectonic plates.
