Oli is Awesome!!!!!!

My husband and I are avid travels and usually, we like to go it alone; lets just say we have been burned a few times by not-so-awesome travel guides. Still, when it came time to do a trip to Iceland in the dead of winter (having seen snow only a handful of times in my life and having never driven in it…), we decided that a little help may be in order. Upon the assurances of a friend who had worked with Oli in the past, we went ahead and planed a trip with him.

Wow are we glad we did. Oli was fantastic! In addition to keeping us safe, he really helped make our Iceland adventures a trip of a lifetime. What makes Oli so special is that he seems to know everyone and everywhere in Iceland. Traveling with him is like going around with a friend that can get you into all the best spots and hook you up with all the greatest people. For us, this proved particularly valuable when bad weather forced some major changes to our itinerary. Oli however is so “in-the-know” he just changed stuff up — Roads were blocked east so we headed west; weather was too bad to be outside so we went to amazing museums; places might have been closed so Oli arranged to get the keys from his friend.

Plus, Oli himself is part of the fun. He is such a fantastic and funny person, with a storied life of his own. He is a wonderful story teller and, in the land of Sagas, he feels a little like one of the main characters ;).

Iceland on its own is a beautiful and sort of magical place…but Oli adds his own special sparkle. If you are considering a trip and want to go with a guide I can’t possibly imagine a better choice then Oli. Plus you get a vacation dog — Hunni Rocks!!!!!
