I am a certified Tour Guide, graduated from The Icelandic School of Travel and Tourism, and a fully licensed Tour Operator by The Icelandic Tourist Board. I am also an actress, graduated from England, and an open, caring, organized person who loves to communicate with people and make them feel happy. I love my country and am eager for you to witness the astonishing landscape on this beautiful island of fire and ice. Before my studies at The Icelandic School of Travel and Tourism, I had traveled all around my country. But for the first time I traveled with a licensed tour guide I realized how much I had been missing because he opened up my eyes to so many new things. Things related to history, geography, geology, and culture. I eyed my island in a different way. That's why I decided to become a Tour Guide, to be able to do the same for my customers. I offer all kinds of tours in beautiful Iceland. Day tours, multiple day tours, and tours customized to your own ideas and longings. I am your host, eager to let you feel welcome and happy all the days you spend in my country. I drive a 2022 Peugeot 5008. A very spacious vehicle which fits up to six passengers. I can of course, if needed, organize tours for bigger groups which includes renting a bigger vehicle/bus. Feel free to contact me with your ideas and thoughts of what you would like to do, your interests, and suggestions and I will customize your trip for you and/or for your group. Iceland is an amazing country with breathtaking scenery and untouched nature and it would be an honor to guide you through it. I believe that I have a talent for creating memorable travel experiences for my guests so go ahead, Eye Iceland with me, see it for yourself. * First aid course. * Professional driver's license. Licensed to drive vans, mini buses and big buses. *Fully certified as a Tour Guide from The Icelandic School of Travel and Tourism *Fully licensed and certified as a Tour Operator from The Icelandic Tourist Board I am not a licensed glacier guide, so if wanting to go for a "glacier-walk" I would have to hire that kind of service upon request.

The Silver Circle, Grabrok Crater and Paradise Hollow
Overview of your Reykjavik tour
We drive to Husafell, one of the oldest settlements in the wonderful West, taking the Silver Circle and adding to that Grabrok Crater and Paradise Hollow. We start by driving to Hraunfossar waterfall. They are often listed as one of the top most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland and deservingly so. These incredibly blue waters originate in Langjokull glacier, the 2nd largest glacier in Iceland. Just a short walk away from the serene Hraunfossar we have Barnafoss, best known for its dark history in folklore and for the contrast with its neighbour. The Husafell area is surrounded by colorful birch and bushes and has been an inspirational place for artists. Next stop is Deildartunguhver, Europe's most powerful hot spring. We continue our tour to Glanni waterfall and Paradise Hollow and if wanted, hike up on Grabrok Crater. On the way home you might want to have a lovely early dinner at Englendingavik a scenic and peaceful place, where silence is only broken by the sound of birds and the ever changing sea.
