My name is Gunnar and I am a photographer from Iceland known as Icelandic Explorer. I've spent the past 9 years traveling all across Iceland, searching for the best photo locations, most beautiful landscape, the best food, coffee and unique places to stay. I have published a book about Iceland called "Stunning Iceland" and I am part of the "Best of Iceland" committee for The Reykjavik Grapevine. I am excited to share my knowledge and passion for travel in Iceland with you!

Gunnar's guide has helped me planning two trips to Iceland so far and I'm still not done with this stunning country. Photography is my hobby so I find it really useful to explore all these locations by seeing images first instead of zooming in and out on Google maps or reading multiple travel blogs. It saved me so much time! Takk!

I am still in the planning phase for our trip to Iceland in the summer. But so far the guide has already helped with hotel selections and narrowing down various activities. Next I will try the recommendation on car rentals. So far so good and I am really happy I committed to Gunnar’s planner.

Gunnar's guide is not only highly detailed, but all the tips, stops, and recommendations are spot on and quite amazing! We opted to have our entire itinerary while in Iceland planned and outside of the days we toured with Gunnar, our customized itinerary allowed us to self explore Reykjavik and surrounding areas flawlessly. The guide also really came in handy. We found the bakeries, restaurants, quaint shops, historical streets, and scenic overlooks that were recommended to maximize our time and enjoyment in Iceland. After our fantastic experience, traveling from the United States, I wholeheartedly recommend purchasing his guide as well as a personalized itinerary. The Rexby platform is also super easy to use and keeps everything in one place for you. Gunnar and his amazing team are also super responsive and extremely easy to work with even from a different time zone. I wish I could give more than 5 stars to this review!

We did a tour of Iceland and the guide was incredibly helpful! Thanks to him we were able to discover the most beautiful places on the island - many of which we would probably never have found without his tips. The information was super clear, up to date and exactly what you need for a successful trip. We thought it was particularly great that there were not only the well-known sights, but also real insider tips - perfect for experiencing the “real Iceland”. Absolute recommendation for anyone who wants to explore Iceland individually but well prepared! 🌋🇮🇸✨
