The Ultimate Iceland Guide

I always plan my own trips but life was busy & Iceland seemed intimidating. So, this time I left it to the expert. When I say, EXPERT, I truly mean it. I had a 5 star experience from the first message until the end of my trip. It felt as if I was receiving advice from a friend. Any questions I had were answered quickly & always pleasantly. We thoroughly enjoyed our recommended accommodations. They were exactly what I would’ve chosen myself. Even though we didn’t stay on the exact itinerary, it made choosing what we did each day so much easier. And by the end of the trip, we had checked everything off of the itinerary plus more! I highly recommend Gunnar! Whether you are a newbie traveler or a seasoned one, you can’t go wrong.

Our #1 excursion in Iceland was the photo tour with Gunnar. Best decision I made! We arrived by cruise ship & due to high winds, our ship was unable to dock that morning. Gunnar was so understanding & flexible. Our original day was supposed to start at 8:30am arriving back around 5 or 6pm. Our day wasn’t able to start until 11am once we were cleared to dock. This worked in our favor bc we were so lucky to be on our way back to the ship around 9pm and Gunnar stopped to let us photograph the northern lights. We were in Iceland a week & this turned out to be the ONLY night that we saw them. Had Gunnar not been so accommodating, we would’ve missed them completely. By the time we arrived back, I felt as if we made a friend for life. If you’re wondering what the perfect Iceland excursion is, THIS is it!! If we ever return to Iceland, we will definitely give Gunnar a shout out!

I bought Gunnar’s guide a few weeks before our trip to Iceland and it was the best and ONLY resource I ended up needing. I used it to plan in advance of our trip AND navigate while driving in Iceland. He had all the attractions/locations we wanted to see in his guide (and beyond) and I noticed while in the car that you can track where you are in real time on the map in his app. It was so incredibly helpful and easy to use. I am already planning to head back to Iceland and have book marked all the locations in Gunnar’s guide that I want to tackle during round two!! Thank you Gunnar!! Highly recommend this tool.

Just came back from an AMAZING trip to Iceland (south coast). I had originally put together an itinerary by myself but wasn't quite satisfied with it. I have been following Gunnar on Instagram for a while and suddenly found out that I could have him review my itinerary - and it was the best decision! Gunnar gave great input as to what to skip and what to add instead and he also rearranged some things for a more balanced schedule. On top of this he provided lots of useful tips and 'optional activities' in case we felt like it last minute. I travelled with 5 friends from high school (we go on a trip every 2nd year and this was probably our 10th trip) and we all agreed this was our BEST trip yet. Off course this is because Iceland is so incredibly beautiful and because we saw northern lights on all 4 nights - but it's definitely also because of all the excellent input from Gunnar. I will recommend everyone to consult Gunnar if they ever plan to visit Iceland!

Gunnar’s personalized itinerary for us was amazing. Not only did we love all the activities and it fit us perfectly, it saved me from having to figure out a lot of logistics. Gunnar planned around two different parts of our trip—one more active and one more low key when we had my in laws join us. He gave options and lots of great detail to help us know what to do and when. I’ve been raving to all my friends about Rexby and our itinerary. And I felt even more impressed when I saw Gunnar’s name and photos popping up everywhere in Iceland. He’s effectively a local legend and I feel grateful to have had him guide our trip. So much so that we’re going back in wi ter and I’ve already asked for another itinerary. Thank you Gunnar!

Gunnar’s guide has been so useful! We have taken his hotel, food and hiking recommendations all along the south coast and have been very pleased with all of them. We have wifi in our car, so it has been easy to consult the guide throughout the day. It is very handy that each item he recommends has a button to click through to google maps, making navigation/logistics really easy. Being able to filter our search for hot springs vs hikes vs waterfalls has been great too. And his photos are superb, of course!

Excellent guide, very friendly and helpful
