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.

Overview of your Reykjavik tour

West of Iceland has such magnificent views. A glacier, waterfalls, lava fields and volcanos with charming little fishing villages along the coast and breathtaking views all around the Snæfellsnes peninsula. In this tour, we stop at Ytri-Tunga, a home to seals, the Black Church at Budir - the most beautiful church in Iceland they say. At the tip of the peninsula we see Snæfellsjökull glacier with its mystical energy looming over the villages of Hellnar and Arnarstapi. Djúpalónssandur is a beautiful beach where men tested their strength. We'll see Mount Kirkjufell, one of the settings in Game of Thrones and the town of Grundarfjordur where elves, or the hidden people, have a special place. The Snæfellsnes peninsula is one of my favourite areas and I love to show my guests around this beautiful part of Iceland.

Sigga was one of the best tour guides ever! We thoroughly enjoyed both tours we went on. The other tour was the Golden Ciircle. She was extremely knowledge and had interesting information to impart. The food stops we made were most enjoyable! How did she know we love waffles and ice cream! She brought sunny days with her also. She gets a 10+ rating!

What a beautiful day spent with Sigga! She was responsive, professional, and so knowledgeable about the area that we visited. Sigga is also incredibly warm and friendly - she puts you at ease right away. It's like spending the day with an old friend. As for the tour itself, the towns were picturesque, the landscape was breathtaking, and we are so glad we decided to do this tour. Such awesome memories. Thank you, Sigga!

We toured Iceland for three days with Sigga. What an amazing time! She personalized the experiences for us—four adults and two kids (ages 7 and 12)—and curated our experiences over three days. We'll be talking about soaking in the natural hot spring on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula for years to come! We loved Sigga's personal stories and informative discussions at all the sites. She's also a great photo taker—this will be one of our best documented family trips ever! Sigga went above and beyond every day!

Our second day with Sigga after doing the Golden Circle (which was also wonderful). Sigga was a excellent tour guide. She is personable, friendly, and a lovely person to spend the day in a car with. She told fascinating stories about both the sites we visited as well as more general stories about Iceland, its history, and its culture. One example of the value of a guide like Sigga: We stopped by a small fishing village and other visitors left the parking lot along a main trail to an overlook. Sigga took us a different route saying we would get better photos that direction. And we did, including close ups of the fishing boats coming back into the harbor. Sigga has true insider knowledge that she does a great job sharing. Five stars.

This was a beautiful tour, and much less crowded than the Golden Circle (which is also worth doing, however). Sigga knows all the best spots and showed us gorgeous places, even pointing out the best places to stand for views and photos. We loved the waterfalls and the black lava-pebble beach and it was just wonderful to get to walk there. The children in particular also really enjoyed seeing the seals sunning themselves. Sigga also took us to a lovely little cafe for lunch, which we wouldn't have found on our own. What's great about Sigga is that she is knowledgeable and willing to share her knowledgeable, but also warm and fun to be with. She also makes a great effort to adjust the tour to your abilities and interests; for example, she stopped several times so the children could see Icelandic horses, and she also found places where our less mobile family member could rest.

Sigga is just a wonderful tour guide/partner. After the first hour, it was clear that Sigga was not only going to be our guide but would also be my partner. I was traveling with my mother (age 83); my godmother (age 87) and my niece (age 27) and hoping to make this a wonderful experience for all. Sigga was able to seamlessly help me navigate this and ensure the trip's success quickly adjusting plans as needed due to weather or varying abilities and with genuine warmth and kindness that was felt by all.

Your Reykjavik tour itinerary

I like to start this tour rather early. We start by driving north to Borgarnes, and there the adventure begins. Soon you will see young lava and volcano craters, cinder cones and basalt columns. We look carefully at the weather forecast because the Snæfellsnes peninsula can be done in different ways and we want to enjoy the best weather possible during the day. This means we are not doing the tour, in the same way, every time. In fact, I like to adjust it to our guest's needs every time. That makes the tour more personal and special. Snæfellsnes is not only the area of a glacier, volcano, waterfalls, and breathtaking beaches. It is also known for great sagas and stories of Vikings, trolls, outlaws and berserks!
