About Tour Guide Sergei S.
Hello and welcome to Reykjavik! My name is Sergei, and I'll happily show you around Iceland.
Let's say you plan to visit Iceland and explore the country briefly. In this case, we can organize private excursions or multi-day tours from Reykjavik to discover the most exciting sights along popular routes. Please let me know if you have additional ideas or special requirements for your trip, and I will be happy to organize a full-day tour that suits you.
I have been a pleasant, practical, and responsible guide since 2015, running my tour operator company. I am passionate about the nature of Iceland and can tell you about the Icelandic sagas or explain the geological structure of our island. I have traveled extensively, was a sailor for several years, worked as a maintenance engineer, and visited many countries. As an outdoor enthusiast, I love to travel both domestically and abroad. I have extensive experience as a driver-guide using suitable transport. The vehicles used for our tours have all the required permits from the Icelandic Transport Authority.
Let me show you Iceland as I see it through the eyes of a resident and, simultaneously, a guest who has lived in this beautiful country for 25 years! Welcome aboard! :)
$1,510/ per group
