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

Bjorn was fabulous in every way! Our group all felt that without him, the trip would not have been the same. We would highly recommend him to anyone interested in visiting Iceland!

This was out third tour with Bjorn, which says something about him. His tours are entirely based on what you want to do. He offers suggestions but you determine the schedule and destinations. His English is flawless which compliments his sense of humor. He knows Iceland inside and out. Transportation is comfortable. No one better.

We loved our tour with Bjorn. He was very knowledgeable about the south coast and open to making stops along the route. We are birders and though he doesn't advertise as a birding guide, we found that he knows a lot about the birds in the area. We made several unplanned stops along the way to get a look at birds that are new to us. And we got the absolute best look at Atlantic Puffins! We had an all day tour, so Bjorn suggested we pick up food at a grocery and eat along the way. That was perfect for us as it gave us more time to....look for birds! If eating lunch at a restaurant is more your style, I'm sure Bjorn knows the best places, but grabbing a quick sandwich was our choice and we were very happy about it. And while we were finishing up our sandwiches sitting in the vehicle we spotted whales breaching, wow, that was amazing! His vehicle was clean and comfy. It accommodated a 6'3" passenger no problem. If we are ever back in the area I would definitely book Bjorn for another outing.

Bjorn took me on a great adventure along the south coast, stopping at several waterfalls along the way, volcano Eyjafjallajokull, glaciers atop volcanoes, and black beaches with basalt cliffs and towers. As I have mobility issues, Bjorn drove me up as close as possible to each site. He also kindly stopped at a drive thru drugstore to pick up pain medication for me. Lunch was at a lovely brewpub in Vik where we also stopped at a shopping complex where my gift shopping were satisfied. Throughout the trip I heard stories of trolls and the 12 Santa Clauses, lots of info on Icelandic horses, and an explanation of last names in Iceland. Bjorn has been a guide for a while and his knowledge is extensive. It was a most enjoyable day. I would highly recommend Bjorn.

Excellent day. Bjorn is friendly, very knowledgeable with a gift for explaining his country and answering any question. He suggested a variance from our itinerary that worked out perfectly as the weather turned. We will engage Bjorn again.
