My name is Sóla. I am born here in Iceland. I love to hike up in the mountains, watch the birds in the summer time and swim in our geothermal swimming pools the whole year around. I studied photography in the States many years ago, worked in Germany and studied French in France. As a child my family spent one year in Denmark. I started tour guiding at 22 when I came home from France because of my knowlege of French. Back then all the roads were dirt roads, there were no telephones and we slept in tents and I still enjoy camping out and hiking out in the nature! I would love to share with you my love for my country and share with you some of it's most beautiful places. Be it the most popular turist spots or the remote and untouched wildernes areas, qaint little villages or cafés. I try my very best to show you the places that would appeal to you. I have a great knowledge of my country and have been working as a tour guide and a driver guide for many many years. I have a fully licensed and a very comfortable and spacious 4x4 Ford Excursion that can take you amost everywhere. Hope to hear from you soon. Greetings from Iceland. Fully licensed Day Tour Operator from the Icelandic Tourist Board. A valid passenger transportation licence from the Icelandic Transport Authority. A fully insured vehicle and guide for passenger transportation. Up to date first aid courses from the Icelandic Red Cross. None

Overview of your Reykjavik tour

On this tour we head out of Reykjavik and drive up to the mountains. The National Park of Thingvellir is just an hours drive from Reykjavik. It is among few places in the world where you can see the separation of the North American and the Eurasian plate. An easy walk down the Almannagjá Gorge will take you to the oldest democratic Parliament in the world founded in 930 AD. As we drive further east we start driving through farmland and might spot some Icelandic horses on our way. We stop in Geysir hot spring area. There you can see Strokkur hot spring as it spouts up to 100 feet in the air. Only ten minutes away are Gullfoss waterfalls one of the most spectacular of all waterfalls in Iceland. After visiting the falls we head back to Reykjavik.

This was a great tour, and Solrun was a wonderful guide! She customized the tour for us, picked us up at the cruise ship after our cruise, and delivered us to the airport after the Golden Circle tour right on schedule. She has a roomy, comfortable Ford Expedition that sits high (good visibility and plenty of room for luggage) , and she had it stocked with water for all and snacks for our granddaughter. But the best part is that she is so knowledgeable and interesting. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with her and cannot recommend her highly enough! If you are thinking of a Golden Circle tour, try to get Solrun! Actually, you should try to get her for any tour you are interested in!! She is fantastic!

Excellent tour with Sola. She is incredibly knowledgeable and very personable. We didn't have a lot of time in Iceland so we went where we could. We saw the amazing golden circle and now we can't wait to return to Iceland. Highly Recommend.

Sóla gave us a great tour from Reykjavik to three of the major sites in the Golden Circle. The weather was cold and wet at times for us, so be prepared. Gullfoss waterfalls are spectacular, even in the rain. The National Park of Thingervellir is an amazing view looking down from the cliffs. The Geysir hot spring area is interesting with its boiling pools and spouting geyser. It spouted several times as we made our way around the trail. Warm and friendly, Sóla grew up in the area and did a great job of clearly explaining the history and geology of the area. We had an ice cream stop at a dairy farm, and she gave us a driving tour of Reykjavik on our way back to the ship. We took a look inside the Hallgrimskirkja church. It was a wonderful tour.
