All the rave reviews are true!

All the rave reviews are true!

First of all, everybody thinks Iceland = expensive and yes, it’s true. Hiring a tour guide driver is definitely out of the budget because of the added expense if you think about it, but no… Oli is worth it and so much more.

We basically allocated our budget to getting him to tour us around for our group’s 8 days outside of Reykjavik. We stayed in small guesthouses and hostels but had our own expert with us and it was uniquely special.

If you want to tour a new place and simply see the sights and sounds at face value, you can do it yourself with a self drive rental but that’s it. You might get lost and lose time, miss hidden gems along the way, or get stuck out in the storm or stuck in a river if you have the worst of luck.

If you want immersion on the other hand and to delve into the local way of life, having Oli guide you will give you a perspective that even other guides cannot offer. Iceland is his passion and he has been touring people since before it became a go to place for vacations. He knows Iceland like the back of his hand and we didn’t need to rent a GPS to navigate thru the f roads and other country roads he used. Plus, he knew almost everybody up to the 3rd generation. His social network allowed us to see places up close, go to private farms and see private locations otherwise not allowed to the public. We even got to see a sheep roundup with explanations on the side on what happens and why.

He is strict, so when he speaks try to listen, you won’t regret it. He has a dry humor and a very witty mind. Just let him know your tour priority and let him handle your itinerary. He adjusts according to your pacing and you will never feel harried like in the usual tours.

He is one of a kind and worth every penny.
