It was an amazing trip. Iceland seemed to be magic and made me fall in love with it quickly. Our guide, Xiaojuan, is gentle, lovely and experienced, and she arranged our trip throughout, which making the trip more relaxing and enjoyable. I recommend that you bring waterproof clothes if you go to Iceland in winter.

Gunnar and Saga were our guides, they were very kind, patient, thoughtful and accommodating! Even though Iceland weather was unpredictable, we had fun on rainy days, and still went to all the outdoor locations when the weather permitted. Gunnar and Saga made the experiences extra fun! We felt very taken care of and welcomed. Thank you so much for making our trip memorable. Highly recommend, and most likely will revisit Iceland during another season with Friends In Iceland!

A Magical Way to Experience Iceland

Gunnar was our guide for an eight-day private tour in which we navigated the South Coast, Highlands, Golden Circle, Diamond Circle, and several places in between. He even revamped our itinerary on the fly to include a hike to the Fagradalsfjall volcano eruption site. Our time with him was extremely educational and loads of fun. If your goal is for a multi-day, high-energy introduction to Iceland, I highly recommend you skip the car rental or big bus tour experience and reach out to Friend in Iceland.

A wonderful trip in Iceland with Gunnar.

We booked a private 2 day tour down the south coast of Iceland together with Gunnar. He is such a nice guy that knows everything about Iceland and can tell you a nice fairy tale about every rock or waterfall you pass by. Most important for us was, that we are somehow off the tourist tracks and Gunnar fulfilled this wish. Sometimes it felt like we were the only ones on the island. This trip is absolutely worth it. Thank you Gunnar for this great experience.

Totally Worth It

My husband, 15 year-old and I did three tours with Gunnar: The Golden Circle, The South Coast and the Snaefellsness Peninsula. Not only did we enjoy the rides but also Gunnar's company, reliability and thoughtfulness. He is punctual, drives carefully, and surprises you with extra touches. For instance, when I mentioned that I would love to try Icelandic beef soup, he bought me one. He also made stops along the way to buy us fresh mushrooms, strawberries and ice cream. If we ever return to Iceland (and I hope we do), we will not hesitate to hire him again.

We had a wonderful time doing a two day private tour with Gunnar to the south coast. Gunnar was very responsive and helpful with planning the trip, and recommended an excellent hotel to stay on the south coast. We learnt a lot about Icelandic history and culture from him. He is reliable and drives very safely, even in deep Icelandic fog! Gunnar also organised a great ice cave tour for us. We’d go again without any hesitation!!!
