Hi, I am Sigga and I'm a guide in Iceland. I grew up in Reykjavik but spent summers at a farm in the countryside where I really learned to love and appreciate the Icelandic nature. I herded cows, fed lambs and mowed fields in between hours of wading streams, making "homes" in caves, climbing rock formations and playing with the elves. I am a mother of twins and when they were growing up we loved travelling together in Iceland; camping, hiking, skiing and taking a dip into pools or hot springs. It is such a privilege being so close to untouched nature. Although I like my name, Sigríður (meaning victory), It can be a mouthful for foreigners. So when I first lived abroad I took the nickname Sigga, which made life a lot easier for my foreign friends, many of whom I have guided in Iceland. When living abroad I would long for the Icelandic nature, the magnificent Icelandic views and the fresh air. The closeness to nature is what I value the most about our scarcely populated country. During stressful times in my life and when I need to recharge I escape to nature. I had a few professional roles before becoming a guide. In my "previous lives" I was a flight attendant, worked in film and television, anchored TV news, ran an outdoor cafe by the sea, volunteered for NGO's and managed construction projects. But nothing gives me as much fulfillment as sharing with others the great nature and history of Iceland. I am proud to be part of the ToursByLocals team and look forward to welcoming you as a guest on my tours and share with you my personal knowledge of my wonderful country, its history, landscapes and culture Licensed Professional Driver qualified to drive up to 50 passengers First aid course Fully licensed vehicle by the Icelandic Transport Authority Fully licenced Travel Agency by the Icelandic Tourist Board MA in Journalism from Bournemouth University PGC from the Institute of Family Therapy in Malta I am not a qualified glacier guide and will hire such services upon request.

Discover the wonders of the Reykjanes Peninsula on this six hour adventure, just 40 minutes from Reykjavik. Explore Keifarvatn Lake, surrounded by mossy lava fields, and marvel at a lighthouse, ocean views, and dramatic rock formations. Witness the ridge where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet and drive through Iceland’s most recent volcanic area. Visit Grindavik, the fishing village evacuated in 2023 due to seismic activity, and reflect on its resilience. We will have lunch at either the Lava restaurant at the Blue Lagoon or at a local Grindavik restaurant at the harbour. If you are arriving or departing from the International airport, this is a perfect tour to start/end your visit to Iceland - we can add a soak in the Blue Lagoon - just drop me a message and I will customise the tour for you. Only 20 minutes from Keflavik Airport, this tour is ideal for travelers with limited time and can be tailored for a 4 hour experience.

Sigga was awesome. She had extensive knowledge of Iceland very personable. I would highly recommend her!
On our tour of the Reykjanes Peninsula we visited Kleifarvatn Lake and Seltun; the town of Grindavik recently devastated by a volcanic eruption; Brimketill rock formation; Gunnuhver geothermal area; Valhnukamol; and finally the bridge between two continents. All are just amazing and Sigga's commentary was helpful and enjoyable. She then dropped us at Keflavik Airport for our return flight to the United States. What a fantastic half-day with a most wonderful person.
We had Sigga pick us up at the airport and give us a quick tour of the city and a stop at Blue Lagoon. She was on time, easy to find in the crowd and gave us a great city tour. Her English was perfect and she is very friendly and well spoken with lots of information to share. I highly recommend her for any tour of Iceland.
We had an excellent tour of the Reykjanes Peninsula with Sigga. She was so nice and personable from the start. We enjoyed all of the sights as well as our time at the Blue Lagoon. Sigga was very informative about the lava and the geothermal sights and the history of the area. She took a lot of pictures for us and she got some great shots of us especially in the Blue Lagoon. We would highly rate Sigga for any tour in Iceland. We have taken many tours with Tours By Locals and she's up there with the best of the best!
Sigga is an outstanding guide - knowledgeable, personable and flexible - the key ingredients to an ideal tour with an exceptional guide. We will request Sigga again should we return to Reykjavik!
We will visit: The bridge between two continents Valhnúkamöl rock formations Reykjanesviti lighthouse Grindavik - evacuated town See the Blue Lagoon Seltún geothermal area Kleifarvatn lake If you have an early morning flight, this tour is a fantastic way to make the most of your day before checking in at your hotel in Reykjavik. This tour is also particularly ideal if you have an afternoon flight leaving Iceland.
