Iceland,
through the eyes of
a local guide.

I’m Bijo, founder of Iceland by Guide. I started working in Icelandic tourism in 2008 and later became a licensed guide. Since then, I’ve helped thousands of travellers experience Iceland privately, calmly and with the freedom to adapt the journey as we go.

Iceland by Guide brings that same local knowledge into private tours, self-drive itineraries and travel planning — so whether I’m sitting beside you in the Land Cruiser or helping you travel independently, you benefit from experience built on Icelandic roads.
