I love Iceland! I love the people, the scenery and the culture. After living in Iceland and going on many adventures myself, I have the knowledge and experience to work with others to plan a trip that not only has that WOW factor but becomes something to talk about for years to come.

Having lived in the Westfjords and travelled within Iceland myself I have knowledge and experience of some of the best spots to visit, both the well known tourist destinations and the more 'off the beaten track' areas too.

I grew up in a country that couldn’t be more different to Iceland - India. But, as life would have it, I fell in love with an Icelander, got married and have been living in Iceland for over 15 years now. 

We established our tour operator after celebrating our wedding in 2010. Guests from all over the world wanted to come and join us on this joyous occasion and through arranging travels for all of them, we both found our passion: showing the real Iceland to travelers worldwide. Iceland is a magical place and we have traveled up and down the country repeatedly, making sure our itineraries are always up-to-date and our maps are suited for all travelers. The best way to discover Iceland is renting a car and driving yourself, stopping by attractions along the way: volcanoes, geysers, hiking trails and much more await those that come. In summer, we get up to 22 hours of daylight and in winter, Iceland turns into a winter wonderland with plenty of snow. ‘While in Iceland, do as the Icelanders do’ is our motto, so we make sure your itinerary is fully packed with authentic experiences, really getting to know the quirky Icelandic culture.

Our trips are best suited to independent travelers looking to discover Iceland in their own car.

Traveling widened my horizons and completely changed the way I live my life.  During my travels I was lucky enough to get a job in Iceland, and I must admit, I was completely unaware of what was ahead of me when I first set foot in the country. Working in the tourism industry allowed me to meet with travelers like myself every day, and I soon had the urge to travel all around the country on my own.

My specialty are tailor-made trips all around the country, but with a particular emphasis in the Snæfellsnes peninsula, the Westfjords and Lake Mývatn, as I have not only visited but also lived in these places.

I moved to Iceland 8 years ago and started working as a local guide. I quickly realized how much I love showing travelers around and started my own company. I now design all kinds of itineraries to cater to the needs of travelers of all types - no matter if you want to drive yourself or join a group tour. I love driving around the country to experience every inch of it and especially love to hike in the highlands of Iceland. Being a foreigner myself, I design itineraries with the understanding of what tourists want to see and experience but at the same time, with the knowledge of a local when it comes to weather, seasons and secret places.
