Hi there, My name is Julien and I have been guiding tours all over Iceland since 2019. I offer different kinds of tours, from hiking to family-friendly sightseeing tours, but what I like the most are the personalized tours: I love to connect with my clients beforehand to give them exactly the experience that is right for them. This is why after a few years of guiding groups I decided to specialize in private tours, and particularly tailor-made ones. I have two vehicles ready for you, one is a high end van that can accommodate up to 6 adults comfortably, which is only suitable for paved roads. The other one is a modified LandCruiser, extremely spacious and comfortable for up to 4 adults, which is your best companion for adventurous journeys in the Icelandic Highlands. I am a fully licensed tour operator and my vehicles have all the authorizations required for commercial use. - Wilderness First Responder (Advanced first aid Training) - Commercial driving licenses - Day Tour Operator license I am not allowed to sell package tours that include accomodation.

I love glaciers, and I love volcanoes. I like to hike onto them, I like to look at them, and overall, I just love the feeling of living next to them. This is definitely my favorite thing about the Icelandic South Coast: it is the home of several glacier-covered volcanoes, which are among the most powerful volcanoes in Iceland! The South Coast also displays some of the most beautiful and famous waterfalls in Iceland. And if the sheer cliffs, the glacier, and the waterfalls are absolutely gorgeous, it truly is the colors and contrasts that are making the South Coast of Iceland so special: Ice is white, the ocean is blue, vegetation is green, and rocks, sand, and gravels are volcanic black. If you would come in June, when the lupines are blooming, purple fields are visible as far as your eye can see. Also home to abundant bird life, in the summer, with dozens and dozens of species of migrating birds coming to nest on the cliffs (including puffins!), the Icelandic South Coast is by all means, a magical place.
We had a tour of the south coast with Agnes rather than Julien as scheduled. She was amazing, adapting to the needs of our group and focused on being sure that everyone had a good time. Her knowledge of Iceland was phenomenal, and her enjoyment of the scenery was equal to ours. We highly recommend her! Ken L.
This was a terrific tour and Julien was a great guide. He got us up close to some excellent scenery. The waterfalls are spectacular.
Julien is a great tour guide. He led us on a private South Coast tour including viewing of the Sólheimajökull glacier, Dyrhólaey Cliff with close views of puffins, and the black sand beaches at Reynisfjara . We lunched in Vik then made our way back to the waterfalls Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss. He is knowledgeable of Iceland history and of the siteswe visited. We would definitely tour with him again and highly recommend him.
·After picking you up from your lodging, our 1st stop will be the waterfall of Seljalandsfoss. This waterfall of 60m (180 ft) high is one of the most famous in Iceland, and located just by the ring road. Except for the winter months, it's possible to walk behind and around the waterfall. ·Our following stop will also be a waterfall, Skógafoss. This one's just as high as the 1st, but you can't walk behind it. Although, a legend says that a giant hid a treasure behind. If you dare the 400 steps climb to a viewing platform at the top, the view from there is absolutely stunning. ·We'll then head to the Black Sand Beach of Reynisfjara, a filming location of Game of Thrones (The Dragon Glass Cave) and an absolutely stunning beach with caves, basaltic columns, sea pillars, and birdlife, including puffins in the summertime! ·We'll also take a walk to a viewing platform, offering the best panorama, on a volcanic ash-covered glacier: Sólheimajökull. ·At last, we'll drive back. This itinerary could be customized.

You can choose between two types of transportation for appropriate costs: This tour is budgeted for a very comfortable Volkswagen Multivan with A/C from 2016 for up to 6 people. I also have a Toyota Land Cruiser from 2021, mounted on 33 inches tyres and with snorkel. This one comes at an extra cost (please contact me) and can sit 3 people very comfortably.
