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

First stop Kerid the crater which offers some lovely photoshoots. At the Great Geyser Geothermal Area, we will have a walk and see the soaring geyser (Strokkur) erupt every few minutes. A short drive from there takes us to beautiful Gullfoss (Golden Falls) an impressive, photogenic spectacle. Taking you away from the busy tourist attractions, we'll head into the woods of Haukadalsskogur, where the troll giant Bergthor of Blafell is buried. On this idyllic spot I usually fill my flask in the nearby fresh water stream and offer you a drink of pure Icelandic mountain water. At Fridheimar Greenhouse we will have our lunch in between the growing tomatoes. If you require desert we will stop at Efstidalur farm for an icecream. Our last stop is Thingvellir National Park. A UNESCO World Heritage Site. A truly beautiful place which is very dear to every Icelander's heart.
