Hi I'm Steve, and it's my pleasure to welcome you to Iceland! With over 9 years living in Iceland, and originally being from Australia—I’m proud to call this land of fire and ice my home. Having explored over 80 countries, I'd have to say Iceland is my favourite, hence why i settled here and call it home. I also found love, meeting my Icelandic wife, with whom I've embarked on countless adventures across this breathtaking island. I'm always excited to share the beauty and wonder of Iceland with visitors, so that its majestic beauty may captivate you as its done with me. Whether it's the quest for the elusive Northern lights at dusk, uncovering secluded hot springs, or savoring authentic local cuisine, I'll ensue you experience the very best of Iceland. What sets me apart from other guides is my genuine desire to share those hidden gems which you'll reminisce over after your return, ensuring your visit to this remarkable island is nothing short of extraordinary. Having traversed Iceland many times, I boast insights that would make even 'Trip Advisor' envious :) My deep understanding of Icelandic culture, coupled with a sincere dedication to my clients' well-being, has earned me the trust and recommendation of many. My mantra, 'come as a stranger, leave as a friend', sums up my service approach to guiding. I genuinely enjoy the opportunity to connect with individuals from all walks of life, ensuring each moment is memorable and enjoyable. As an avid photographer and skilled drone pilot, I have the photographic expertise and knowing where to get the BEST SHOTS so as to capture your Icelandic adventure. From picturesque landscapes to awe-inspiring waterfalls, I'll ensure your memories are preserved for years to come. Moreover, I specialize in catering to the unique needs of older travelers, ensuring accessibility and comfort without compromising on adventure. Allow me to unveil Iceland's wonders—'the land of Ice and Fire'—in a way that leaves you inspired and rejuvenated, free from the crowds of tourists. Looking forward to meeting you and sharing in creating an unforgettable journey for your Icelandic Adventure. In the spirit of Iceland, Takk Fyrir—which means Thankyou from Me:) Tour Guide Certificate (Reykjavik 2020) Semi Professional Photographer and Videographer First Aid Certificate (Current)

Steve was very knowledgeable about Reykjavik. We were there when there was a marathon and holiday, so we couldn't get to all the places we wanted. But Steve figured out where to go despite the traffic everywhere. He spoke about his background and living in Iceland as someone who immigrated there around 10+ years ago, which was very interesting.

We could not have asked for a better introduction to Reykjavik! Steve was both fun and knowledgeable, as well as flexible, spending as much time as we wanted/needed at every stop along the way. We definitely hit the highlights at a good pace, stopping for the famous Iceland hot dogs at Baejarins Beztu Pylsur and ice cream at Valdis. I highly recommend Steve!

Steve was an outstanding guide for our private tour of Reykjavík’s city center! He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared many interesting and fun facts that really brought the city’s history and culture to life. He kept the tour engaging from start to finish and was happy to answer all of our questions. We also appreciated his recommendations for local restaurants and places to eat—they ended up being the highlights of our day. If you’re looking for a friendly, informative, and enjoyable guide in Reykjavík, I highly recommend Steve!

Perfect taste of the city. Steve was very friendly and knowledgeable. He made sure we were taken care of and the kids enjoyed their time. He made several wonderful recommendations for events we could squeeze in and even made sure we could get in way before our time at the Sky Lagoon. Amazing time.

Our guide Steve was fantastic! He showed us all the places on our list plus some other interesting ones. He did a great job answering all our questions! If you want a great tour of the city- this one is fantastic! And the ice cream is wonderful.
