The Reykjanes Peninsula - where The Mid-Atlantic Ridge rises out of the Sea

After such a wonderful experience with Erla on our first tour, we knew we had to book her again—this time for a tour of the Reykjanes Peninsula. Once again, she exceeded all of our expectations! The Reykjanes Peninsula is a fascinating area filled with dramatic lava fields, rugged coastlines, geothermal activity, and incredible scenery. Erla brought every stop to life with her extensive knowledge of Iceland's geology, volcanic history, and local culture. She explained everything in a way that was both interesting and easy to understand, making the landscapes even more impressive. One of the things we appreciated most was that Erla never made us feel rushed. She was happy to stop whenever we wanted to take photos, answer questions, or simply admire the scenery. Her enthusiasm for Iceland is contagious, and it's clear she genuinely enjoys sharing her country with visitors. ToursByLocals is fortunate to have a guide like Erla. She is professional, personable, organized, and truly committed to providing an exceptional experience. If you're considering a tour of the Reykjanes Peninsula, don't hesitate to book with Erla. She turned a beautiful sightseeing trip into an unforgettable experience, and we would gladly tour with her again on our next visit to Iceland.

Prior to booking our tour I had mentioned to our perspective guide that my hope was to have an experience that my grandsons would remember for a lifetime. Erla certainly did that! Every aspect of our tour was outstanding. Erla was punctual, informative, and absolutely on target with the selection of highlights she included in our adventure. I’m not usually inclined to use superlatives, but in this case I can say our tour was perfect. It was a genuine pleasure to be in her company.

Erla did a fantastic job listening to what we wanted to do on the Reykjanes Peninsula and adjusted her itinerary accordingly. We loved every stop we made. Erla was an excellent story teller and eager to share Icelandic culture.

Erla Ruth designed a tour that met our desires perfectly. She was a very knowledgeable guide and we greatly enjoyed our time with her. I would recommend her to anyone travelling to Reykjavik.

Really Great Tour! One of the best Tours by Locals we have taken-Full day of seeing many Iceland scenic and cultural features. Excellent commentary and driving, Ruth-Thanks for a great day

delightful tour of geologic sites near Reykjavik seeing geysers, tectonic plates, ancient and recent volcanos, all with a guide who was excited to tour with us. Outstanding-why go with a group or ship's tour when you can experience this?
