Elyse Barroway

My son and I had a fabulous 2 days hiking and sight seeing with Julian. He was extremely knowledgeable and so friendly. We loved every minute of our time together. I will recommend Julian to anyone I know going to Iceland!

I’ve been on a full round trip of Iceland led by Julian on two separate occasions, both of these tours were unforgettable. I cannot recommend this enough. We went snorkeling in Silfra, visited waterfalls, a glacier, beaches, many hottubs, we also saw northern lights, the geothermal region and even an active vulcano. Can’t wait to do it again!

Julian is a guide that I highly recommend. He took us to breathtaking places in Iceland. We visited the amazing Blue Lagoon Spa with its geothermal water. Went snorkeling in Silfra. Walked for hours in Hvalfjördur, saw the Nothern Lights and much more. Great guide, amazing country.
