    Our family embarked on an unforgettable 8-day adventure through Iceland’s breathtaking landscapes. From the very start, communication with Luke was seamless — he was responsive, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our trip special. His flexibility shone through as he crafted a personalized itinerary around my son’s dream destinations, while also suggesting hidden gems we never would have found on our own. Luke’s recommendations for accommodations were spot-on, ensuring each stay was both comfortable and convenient. His thoughtful packing list guidance also meant we were perfectly prepared, letting us focus entirely on creating memories instead of worrying about logistics. Our guide’s warmth, expertise, and attention to detail exceeded all expectations. She not only led us safely to picture-perfect spots and delicious local eateries but also shared fascinating insights about Icelandic culture and nature that brought each place to life. Highlights such as the majestic Vestrahorn, the exhilarating hike behind Selvallafoss waterfall, and playing in the salmon river will remain forever in our hearts. Traveling with Luke and his team felt effortless, safe, and deeply personal. We cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone dreaming of exploring Iceland — this journey has truly given us a treasure trove of cherished family memories.

From the moment we met, his warm demeanor, genuine enthusiasm, and deep knowledge of the land made us feel like we were traveling with an old friend. Luke went above and beyond every single day. Not only did he take us to the classic must see sights, but he also brought us to hidden gems and secret spots we never would’ve found on our own.These were places without another soul in sight, where we could truly soak in the raw beauty of Iceland .His storytelling, humor, and passion for Iceland’s culture and nature made the entire experience unforgettable. He was attentive, flexible, and always made sure we were comfortable and having the best time. The icing on the cake were his professional photography skills. Luke was able to capture us at all these sites, allowing us to have beautiful memories for a lifetime. If you’re looking for a guide who will turn a great trip into the adventure of a lifetime, Luke is your guy. 10/10 would tour with him again!

    Luke and his team provided our family with the trip of a lifetime. Even in July, a peak tourists month in Iceland our guide showed us less traveled and absolutely amazing spots that other tour groups simply would t know about. The tour was curated to meet the interests of the adults as well as our two children (ages 10 and 13) Our guide became like family, and made each day an absolute adventure. As photographers (hobbyist) we also found many spots to get the perfect shots. We have preserved our Iceland trip with timeless photos. If you’re looking for a personal, exclusive and memorable tour… CALL LUKE!
