Hello. I'm Eric, your local expert for Iceland

Active online: 6h ago

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 never thought that I would make it to iceland with so little fuss . Èric was amazing in helping me plan my trip and the itinerary provided and hotels booked were all good places. All my questions were answered. I only had to study the itinerary like on a few weekend before my trip to see which are the places that we are going , and also look through the optionals to see which i really want to go to . Despite the weather, i really enjoyed my trip . He also helped me find a local photographer for my photoshoot in the Capital . Thank you for a wonderful trip .

We had the most thoughtful and helpful advice in preparation for our trip to Iceland from our guide, Eric. I can recommend his services without reservation. Our holiday was a huge success in large part due to Eric's guidance. In particular we valued his recommendations of out-of-the-way spots that we could never have found otherwise. Very often we found ourselves feeling gratitude for all Eric's forethought and insider knowledge. There was only one minor glitch with a hotel booking in a remote location. When we reported this on our return, it was dealt with prompt reimbursement of a payment made. Our spec was a trip to the Westfjords off the beaten track using local services where possible. This was taken seriously and an itinerary was delivered that met our needs precisely. We were grateful for the careful discussion beforehand that delivered this successful outcome. I hope others will be able to benefit from the services of this very thoughtful and well-informed guide, Lucy A.
