3 Day Tour To Southcoast — Luke is professional, knowledgable guide, we ended up with 3 day tour to southcoast, northen lights and circle tour and all was well thought through with unforgettable memmories. He knows a lot of nice spots off the beaten path as well, was great companion, flexible to adjust, easy to talk to. Car is comfy, even had a minibar for us for those moments coming back from waterfalls feeling cold. We were also catching northern lights, finding spots, so it was a lot of fun too. Highly recommend!

Don't think twice, just book this tour with Luke! He's very professional and friendly with lots of cool stories to share. We were very fortunate to be the only couple with him that day, not to mention the weather that day could not have been more perfect for us! The places he took us were out-of-this-world beautiful! He made sure we had lots of amazing photos from the trip! Definitely a memorable experience!

Absolute Must Do! — My mom, sister and I took this tour with Luke last week and had an absolutely fantastic time! Luke was so friendly and knowledgeable of Iceland and all of the amazing spots that he took us to. We were truly off the beaten path — not a tour bus in sight! It was a truly unforgettable day that I would recommend to anyone.

This tour was one of the best experiences of my life. We saw so many amazing places. Luke was super nice and informative. Since there was only one other couple with us, he was able to personalize the day for us by constantly asking where we wanted to stop and how long we wanted to stay at each place. Highly recommend!

3 days Tour — Luke's 4X4 gave us access to Iceland's secret spots that we wouldn't get to see in a rental car — he knew exactly where to go and modified each day based on what we enjoyed most.

Do not Hesitate....Book with Luke — What a fantastic experience we had with Luke! My 20 and 18 year old children loved the places Luke took us to explore and he showed us some true wonders of Iceland that most people will not get a chance to see.

Excellent Customized Local Tour — Luke will really take you to secret places. You won't see any crowds on this tour. Luke is very friendly, and very flexible based on how long you want to stay at any one site.

Hugh
Hugh Verified traveller

This experience with Luke was hands-down one of the best I had during my entire nine-week trip to Europe. Each of the spots he takes you to is off the beaten path and therefore has far fewer tourists. The photos Luke takes are a fantastic memento of the experience. The best part of the experience has to be Luke himself — such a kind and generous host.

Eric Andersen
Eric Andersen Verified traveller

Wow! This adventure was better than we expected. Luke took us on an action-packed drive to nearly a dozen fascinating but hard-to-find spots across the Reykjanes Peninsula, explaining the unique geological history along the way. The photos and movies he took were wonderful, and will be cherished for many years.

We visited Iceland in October 2021 and had such a wonderful time. Luke was a fantastic guide and brought us to some unique and beautiful locations — a much better option for anyone who wants a personalized, small group setting. Luke is a phenomenal photographer and we are so happy with the pictures he took.
