Hi there, I'm a fully licensed outdoor guide based in Iceland. For the past seven years, I've had the pleasure of guiding people in various outdoor activities such as scuba diving, snowmobiling, glacier hiking, and trekking. My experience has given me the skills and knowledge necessary to ensure that each of my clients has a memorable time exploring Iceland's stunning landscape. Apart from the thrilling outdoor activities, I also guide easier driving sightseeing family-friendly tours. These tours are perfect for families with young children or those who want to enjoy Iceland's scenic beauty without undertaking strenuous activities. During my free time, I love to explore the beauty of Iceland by 4x4, on foot or on skis. I also have a passion for photography, both above and underwater. Capturing the essence of Iceland's unique landscape is something I truly enjoy and I always carry my camera gear with me, ready to capture those unforgettable moments. I have an insatiable appetite for adventure and have travelled to various exciting places such as Asia, the Alps, Patagonia and the Himalayas. Whether it's challenging terrain, cultural experiences or breathtaking views, I always find a way to satisfy my craving for exploration.

Welcome to the Golden Circle tour with a visit to Langjokull glacier via the scenic road F35! Explore Iceland's most iconic natural wonders with our knowledgeable guide, beginning at Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site and birthplace of Iceland's parliament. Walk in the footsteps of the Vikings and learn about the country's rich history and geology. Next, visit the Geysir geothermal area, where you can marvel at the Strokkur geyser erupting every 5-10 minutes, shooting boiling water up to 30 meters in the air. The area is also filled with bubbling mud pools and hot springs, providing a surreal and unforgettable experience. After a short drive, arrive at Gullfoss waterfall, one of Iceland's most stunning waterfalls. Feel the power of the water as it cascades down into the canyon, creating a mist that fills the air with rainbows on sunny days. Before we head back to Reykjavik we stop at an amazing tomato farm for lunch.
Julian was an exceptional tour guide. He created an itinerary for us that included everything we wanted to do during our tour of the golden circle. He also included a special stop for the kids to get ice cream. We highly recommend him.
Julian is a fabulous guide. We had a wonderful day and we’re looking forward to our next tour with him tomorrow!! I will recommend him to all of my friends!
Julian was a very friendly guide who showed us some amazing places in Iceland. With his 4-wheel drive, took us up onto the glacier was amazing. His knowledge of the outdoors and nature of Iceland was very informative..even his joke about getting lost in Iceland ...just stand up, was memorable. It was clear at our stops that he is very well known among the tourist community and his love of Iceland was very clear. If anyone is looking for a thorough tour of the nature in Iceland, Julian is your man!!
Julian worked with us to create our perfect day in Reykjavik - snorkeling in Silfra (must do!), golden circle, a special trip into the highlands to see the stunning glacial landscape, and a relaxing visit to Sky Lagoon. On the way to every location he provided interesting facts about the history and geography of the places and regions. He truly went above and beyond to make our day special. Julian is extremely knowledgeable and very personable. And he is a great photographer! We highly recommend him!!
