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

Overview of your Reykjavik tour

First, we’ll stop at Bessastaðir, the official residence of Iceland’s president. Next, we’ll visit Lake Kleifarvatn, a serene lake surrounded by volcanic landscapes. Then, we’ll explore the colorful Seltún Geothermal Area, with bubbling mud pools and vibrant minerals. We’ll also see The Green Lake, known for its vivid green color, followed by Brimketill, a natural lava pool along the coast. Next is Gunnuhver, a hot spring area with steaming vents and powerful geothermal activity. We’ll take in the view of Reykjanes Lighthouse, perched on cliffs with a breathtaking coastline below. Finally, we’ll check out the Bridge Between Continents, where you can stand on the boundary between two tectonic plates! Depending on the volcanic situation, we may see an erupting volcano from a distance or a brand new lava field. This tour is perfect for those wanting to experience Iceland’s raw geothermal wonders, volcanic landscapes, and hidden gems without the crowds. Optional: Blue Lagoon can be added to the tour.

Wonderful tour - Bjorn picked us up at the port in a large van that held all of the luggage for the 4 of us. It was cold and rainy, but we made the best of it and stopped at all of the places we had discussed. Enjoyed stopping to see the lava fields (and getting to touch a piece of the lava). Had a nice stop for hot chocolate and cake -- really nice cafe in a small fishing village. Very interesting stops were added so that we spent all of the allotted time getting to see things that Bjorn added. All 4 of us were very impressed with the tour.

We arrived in Reykjavik on a cruise and had a good amount of time before we needed to be at the airport. This tour was perfect. Great itinerary. Bjorn was knowledgeable, friendly and willing to listen to requests. The best tours are those where you feel like you are with a friend you are visiting in the area. That's the way this tour was. We all loved it. Highly recommend him. Oh and the timing to arrive at the airport was perfect.

Bjorn was great! He adapted to our ever-changing airline arrival time and got us to our Blue Lagoon entry slot on time. Afterwards, he generously gave us his well-guided tour, although the Blue Lagoon stop caused our tour to run considerably over our paid time. All he would say was “Take your time. We are in no hurry.” Such selfless service makes Bjorn a real gem!
