After communicating with Josip to let him know our interests, he provided us with a perfect day excursion- exploring lava fields, geothermal areas, spectacular view points and a hike up towards a volcano crater. Josip's exceptional level of local knowledge provided us with historic and scientific background as well as access to places we would not have known to go on our own. Added to this is Josip's excellent sense of humour, resulting in a most enjoyable and memorable day.

Exceptional Experience Our day with Josip was a true highlight! He was able to cater our tour to our interests but also provided us with side trips that we would not have known to ask for. We had not used a guide for the majority of our trip and so we had a lot of questions, which Josip was able to answer with great knowledge, as well as a friendly dose of humour. We saw and experienced so much more than we would have on our own. Great value for a most memorable day!

What an incredible day! Our tour was packed with so many different sights, Josip gave the history of the geography and folklore. A perfect balance of information and physical activity. Our lunch stop had the best fish ‘n chips I’ve ever tasted.

Volcano hike What a great day! Josip our guide, was very well spoken, fun and very informative. We were able to see and learn all about the local sites on our way to and from the Volcano walk. This tour was well worth it.

The Driver knows…… We had a half a day to see as much as we could in Iceland. The driver asked us what we wanted to see and we said we would leave it up to him, but we prefer the South route.. He took us to every crook andcranny imaginable. We saw so much more than we did on a full day bus tour. He was absolutely phenomal. I would use him for every single tour from here on out. He absolutely made the most of our limited amount of time and added some.And also found the best bakery ever! Thank you ever so much

Perfect guided tour We were lucky to get a tour on short notice with Josip. His flexibility allowed us to have a great evening with a tour to the geysirs and Gullfoss waterfall. Even the road trip was entertaining while filled with interesting information and insights to icelandic life.

Iceland at its best! On Saturday evening, Josip spontaneously agreed to take us on a trip to the Strokkur geyser and Gullfoss waterfall. It was a very pleasant tour in a very well-maintained Mercedes van. During the ride, he entertained us with his knowledge of the sights and Icelandic customs.

Thomas is amazing! We hired Thomas to take us on a volcano hike. When he picked us up he suggested we switch gears due to the weather. We followed his lead and we are glad we did!
