The key to discovering the secrets of Iceland is to find an Icelander who will share their secrets. There are so many undiscovered wonders and Freystein is the perfect guide to share them with you. My daughter and I came here for her college graduation. Frey came highly recommended.He showed us areas of the Iceland highlands few have access to and even fewer know how to navigate ( we saw several abandoned tourist cars😱) Thank you so much for sharing these special places and all of your stories. We are looking for trolls and elves everywhere!
Highly recommend this tour with Fred. You might be tempted to DIY this type of trip but you will just end up trashing your rental car and having to pay for a new car when your insurance won't cover it. Instead book this tour with Fred - he will take you in his 4x4 off road vehicle across the rivers and into the valley where you will see fantastic views, get up close and personal to glaciers and waterfalls. The hiking can be as little or as much as you want. We opted to have Fred bring the lunch and enjoyed freshly grilled hamburgers. Best of all since Fred grew up in the area you can ask him about anything and everything about Iceland - politics, education, culture. Fred's stories about what it's like to grow up in Iceland are funny and interesting. We had a great day touring with Fred.
