"Elisabete took us on a marvelous journey around the Golden Circle! We learned much as she wove together stories of the history, people, and geology of Iceland. Her bright and enthusiastic personality made the day extra special!"

Best Last Minute Decision
"We were undecided on what to do in Reykjavik on a recent cruise. We had been here before but were traveling with family, one person who walked slowly with a cane. We decided to take a walking tour at the last minute with Lalli. I let him know we had a slow walker with us and he led us on a wonderful tour of the city. He was extremely understanding about making a stop to rest for my brother; was very imformative including a good dose of humor; and truly loved sharing his city with us.
We enjoyed a special fish and chips lunch together and he was the perfect guide for our morning in Reykjavik. I'd highly recommend Lalli to anyone wishing to learn about the history and culture of this wonderful city."
"We had a fantastic time on the food tour.
Natalia was a wonderful guide—warm, knowledgeable, and fun to be with. She shared fascinating insights about the local culture, history, and cuisine, making the experience both delicious and educational. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to connect with Iceland in a more authentic and flavorful way!

"I cannot imagine a better tour. He was informative and entertaining. I highly recommend him."

Best Tour Guide!
"I can't say enough wonderful things about Elisabete! I was recently on a trip to Iceland with my friend and our two 18 year old kids. She helped put together a custom tour that was perfect for us. Elisabete is super knowledgeable about the geology and archeology of Iceland, which is something that really interested us. Elisabete was also great at gearing the activities to our various skill levels. She connected with us on a personally level, too, so it felt like we were traveling with a friend which made the trip that much more fun!"

What an adventure!
"We had a terrific golden circle tour with Elisabete! She was on time, had comfortable transportation, and was a wealth of knowledge. So much enthusiasm for her country! She also took us to a couple of little stops not normally on the tour! By the end of the day she felt like a life long friend! Would highly recommend to anyone I know who is visiting. "
