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 did an amazing job planning our itinerary to Iceland. I love planning my own trips abroad, but for this one I just didn't know where to start. His expertise and suggestions were extremely helpful and allowed us to fit the most into our short 6 days of Icelandic exploration. He was interested in everything we wanted to fit in and was prompt to respond to my questions.
I fell in love with the people, the beautiful and diverse landscape, and the cleanliness of Iceland. I didn't even mind the intense wind and whiteout conditions we got stuck driving in. And I really enjoyed the food which was a surprise to me!! We focused our time in the south and Reykjavík but I cannot wait to return and do Ring Road in its entirety. Thank you Gunnar for your help planning this trip. You represent Iceland well!!

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!
