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.

Overview of your Reykjavik tour
We start by going to Bessastadir, the White House of Iceland where the seventh president of Iceland lives along with her family. From there, there is only a short drive to the town of lava, vikings and hidden people, Hafnarfjordur. After having a look at viking buildings, hidden people's homes and the elf garden we will head towards the stables where you can enjoy a 1 1/2 hours tour on the beautiful Icelandic horse, in lava covered landscape. After a successful tour where you get well acquainted with the horses, we will head back to Reykjavik, visiting Perlan Museum, entering an ice cave and taking a stroll around the nature museum before going outside to the 360° viewing deck. Here we also have a chance to enter the Northern Light Planetarium. We will end this tour by going around to the main attractions in Reykjavik such as Hallgrimskirkja, the City Hall, the House of Parliament, Harpa Conference House, the lovely Sun Voyager and last but not least Hofdi, where the Reykjavik summit was held.
