Another great story…
Touring the island with Luke is the best thing you can do. He shows you impressive places that are not overrun with tourists. You get a good impression of authentic Iceland, interesting stories to tell and memories for life, which are also captured in nice photographs. Luke is courteous, uncomplicated, reliable and simply super likeable. I can't wait to go to Iceland again and will definitely be travelling with Luke again. I can only recommend it to you.

A Truly Professional Tour and Photographer -
100% Recommend! Luke caught the moment perfectly in both video and photos which we will treasure forever. He had so many great ideas for photo locations/spots and it was very easy and natural to have him take our photo. He is truly a professional and delivered us beautiful, high quality photos in a very timely manner which we have received so many compliments on. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Luke-it is well worth it!!

Phenomenal Tour Experience! It is with an abundance of gratitude that I would like to thank Luke for providing us with such a special and dynamic 3 day tour of Iceland.

Never a dull moment as his energy is so good and he engages in great conversations during the longer drives. Thank you for embracing our wild and fun energy as we sang and laughed throughout the tour!! I am further grateful for Luke’s unique gift of capturing the special moments through his skilled photography and shared photos.

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 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 and for those moments coming back from waterfalls feeling cold, that was right on spot. we were also cathing nothern lights, finding spots, so it was a lot of fun too. and nice photos at the end highly recommend!

“He went above and beyond for us to enjoy our stay. If anyone is looking for an incredibly kind, talented and smart guide while on vacation, Luke is absolutely 100% your guy. I would recommend him for a truly enjoyable private experience. Thank you Luke for making my trip so memorable!!! I would definitely come back again!.”

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 in southwestern Iceland. While on the way he explained the unique geological history of the area, and how the plants and even some trees have had an impact on the landscape. Luke is both knowledgeable and personable, making him a fantastic tour guide for this kind of experience. The photos and movies he took were wonderful, and will be cherished for many years - he even got my son to smile in them. My son and I both enjoyed the experience immensely, and we highly recommend Luke and this Experience. Travel experts say that local guides are the key to bringing meaning to your travels, and Luke absolutely embodies this.

“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, Luke was able to personalize the day for us by constantly asking us where we wanted to stop and walk around and how long we wanted to stay at each place. We had such a great time. Highly recommend!”

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. I will definitely book a tour with him when I go back to Iceland.

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. Good luck to Luke and may all the people who tour with him enjoy the experience as much as we did! Thanks Luke. Jan

Access to ALL of Iceland’s secret spots in a 4X4 in just 3 days! Luke is a wonderful & relaxed guide- highly recommend!
Luke’s 4X4 gave us access to Icelands secret stops 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.

Two Days in Iceland; A Memory of a Lifetime!
In October 2021, I had the privilege to be able to join one of Luke's private tours and see the Golden Secret Spots of Iceland. It was a combination of the carefully curated sites, Luke's warm hospitality and talent with his camera, and the breathtaking backdrops of Iceland that made the trip so magical. Iceland is a beautiful country; I don't know of any other place where you can see waterfalls, geysers, natural springs, volcanos, and aurora borealis, potentially all in one trip. And to experience it with a "best friend" was pretty amazing. Luke was always flexible and accommodating. I never felt rushed and learned a lot about the area and culture on his private tour. It was nice not having to worry about capturing the memories and figuring out how to use a selfie stick. Coming home, I have some outstanding photos to remember my trip and share with my friends, who said, "Wow! You got a fantastic photographer!". I couldn't agree more. Thank you Luke for an amazing adventure!

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. Every spot also showcases a unique aspect of the sheer, natural beauty of Iceland. The photos Luke takes are a fantastic memento of the experience and are some of the best photos I've had taken of myself in recent memory. However, the best part of the experience has to be Luke himself. He is such a kind and generous host. Whether it was having a beer and eating dried cod in the back of his jeep or finally being convinced to try an Icelandic hot dog at a small Kaffihús, the memories I have from my time with Luke are ones I will hold onto for a long time. Thanks for such an amazing tour in Iceland, Luke!

Unique personalized tour
We were able to visit Iceland in October 2021 and had such a wonderful time. Luke was a fantastic guide and brought us to some unique and beautiful locations. This is a much better option for anyone who wants a personalized and small group setting to explore spots you wouldn't see on a commercial tour. In addition, Luke is a phenomenal photographer and we are so happy with the pictures he took of us during the tour.

Absolute Must Do!
My mom and sister and I took this tour with Luke last week and we had an absolutely fantastic time! Luke was so friendly and knowledgeable of Iceland and all of the amazing spots that he took us too. We were truly off the beaten path - not a tour bus in sight! We felt like locals on a crazy adventure - not tourists visiting the island. It was a truly unforgettable day that I would recommend to anyone.
My family had an unforgettable experience with Luke as our travel guide for 3 days. He was very kind and patient, and he was knowledgeable about the places we visited. His photography was outstanding, too. He tailored our trip to include the sights that were a must-see for our family. We made memories to last a lifetime! We are ready to go back and will definitely contact Luke again for another tour. Thank you for everything!

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! As many of the reviews have already shared here, the places he took us were out-of-this-world beautiful! He made sure we had lots of amazing photos from the trip! He does great work. Definitely going to be a memorable experience!
