Björn not only took me around Iceland and gave me a fantastic experience, he gave me memories that will last a lifetime, which is priceless. This was a laid back road trip in a comfortable van while being able to take in all the magical scenery. Fun stories and good music shared by everyone made it feel like a intimate friendly atmosphere. The dinners were so stellar! Björn’s an excellent guide full of information and knowledge about his home country. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to be outdoors, to hear the rain or wind or be close to the northern lights in the country. I’m so grateful that I was able to enjoy Iceland the way I did.

Convenient for bus travel and entrance fees to most museums. Reykjavik isn't really an easy city to find your way about -- no grid plan,etc. But people are friendly about telling you which is the right bus route.

I'm so pleased with Go Fishing Iceland Heimir took me to Ellidiar river for salmon fishing in August 2019 Despite the weather being windy, and me lacking experience, the guide was able to help me catch 2 salmon. He was also very knowledgeable about Iceland in general and gave me some great ideas for the rest of my trip Definitely the best money I've spent

I booked the Northern Lights near Reykjavic with Egill on my first night of a 14 day self driving tour of Iceland. Although Mother Nature did not bless us with the Aurora that night, I enjoyed the tour and the incredible starry night skies above Iceland. Egill went above and beyond trying to find the lights while keeping us entertained with stories about his growing up in Iceland, elves, trolls, and other Icelandic folklore. Egill is a walking Icelandic encyclopedia and gave me some great tips for the rest of my 14 day self driving tour.
