Iceland is a magical place and it really helps to have a guide who truly embraces all of the unique aspects of this beautiful island.
Villi is prompt and professional but so down to Earth and funny. We quickly became friends but he kept a respectful distance when our group was having meals or socializing.
The agenda was remarkably well planned, but we never felt rushed. We were never in a hurry to leave any of the magnificent, waterfalls, lava tubes, ice caves, geothermal, baths, or horseback rides. It was relaxed but breathtaking.
The road trips to various out of the way destinations were filled with great history and stories of Iceland and the many movies and tv shows filmed there.
Thanks to Villi, it was really a remarkable and magical experience.

We had one of our best travel experiences in Iceland with Villi as our guide. It was a pleasure working with Villi from the early planning stages until the last day of our trip when we boarded our flight back home. We stayed three nights at his Lava Lodge accommodations which were very nicely appointed, although small, and thoroughly enjoyed conversations during our meals prepared by Villi and his wife, Sigrún, in their country cottage.
Iceland is a large island which requires significant driving time between main points of interest. During these drives, Villi was a constant source of information about Icelandic culture, history, their government and geologic sites. As well, he is very humorous and entertaining which made the long drives even more enjoyable.
We highly recommend Villi and his company, IceXTravel, for anyone wanting an unforgettable experience from their visit to Iceland.

Villi is the best, we gave him some highlights of what we wanted to experience, and Villi made it all happen so seamlessly. Villi is one of the most personable, knowledgeable and kindest human beings you'll ever meet, he is family to us now, and he truly made this trip out to be one of the most memorable experiences for me and my family. I can't recommend Villi loud enough, he went above and beyond to make our visit magical. I strongly suggest reaching out to Villi to plan your next trip to beautiful Iceland.

My family travels very often but we've never traveled before with a guide, we are"get a car and do it ourselves" kind of people. My sister spent 2 days with Villi as a guide in 2014 and passed his name to us. I'm so thrilled she did.
It was amazing to turn the reins over to an experienced guide who did ALL the planning and leg work and driving so we could simply enjoy ourselves.
Villi met us at the meeting point on time and shook our hand. After 10 minutes we were all situated comfortably in his Escalade an after 1 hour we were all fast friends. Villi relates well with "the parents" and my 20 something daughters. It takes a special person to relate to others as easily as Villi does.
We spent 2 precious days at Lava Lodge with Villi and Sigrun who made the finest meals we had in Iceland and made just what I wanted (leg of lamb). Sigrun treated us to trout caught by her father and we felt like family.
We toured glaciers, lava tubes, saw puffins, did an amphibious boat tour, black sand beaches, waterfalls and more. Villi planned our trip to meet our needs and was flexible to change things up if we had a whim to! Every parking lot and restaurant he knew locals who obviously enjoyed him as much as we did.
Villi took us to a MAGNIFICENT lunch at a tomato greenhouse. I was thinking...tomatoes? Unreal delicious. Villi said he recommends it but not every group wants to go...you simply must!
Our week in Iceland goes down as one of my 3 favorite trips of my lifetime. We could not have asked for a better time and we miss our friends Villi and Sigrun already.

IceX is a multi generational family business that understands the needs and desires of tourists, especially families traveling with kids and teens. They planned each day to maximize time spent between destinations with thoughtful bonus stops, tales of Icelandic history and adventure woven into every experience. They are NOT a self-serving tour company that tries to sell you their own activities. They customize activities from everything available on the island to meet your preferences. If Iceland is a bucket list destination and you want to experience it to the max, I highly recommended this tour company.

You would be doing yourself a disservice if you do not choose Villi. He is by far (like it’s not even close) the best guide to a place/country I’ve ever had. His tours are filled with good humor—Villi’s jokes at top notch—and insightful inside knowledge that made our trip so fun, funny, and insightful. Villi brought us to volcanos, epic waterfalls, snow capped glaciers, and viking museums, all with truly insightful knowledge of Icelandic life, history (both geographic and cultural) that you won’t find in a guidebook. Villi is so funny, knows his country so well (his wife is even a published children’s book author who tells Icelandic folk tales with vibrant illustrations), and will 100% deliver the best tour of the most beautiful of countries. Please don’t even consider anyone else!

Villi is simply the best. He truly made our Iceland trip unforgettable. I can not recommend him enough. We were a large group of Americans on a week long Iceland trip - Villi had us laughing the entire time, as well as taught us much about local Iceland culture and geology. You should book this man for your trip!! Thank you Villi!

Ragga guided us through 1 week of majestic sights and activities all the while answering questions and explaining the country's geology, people, customs and food! We went to the largest Glacier in N. Europe, walked in an Ice Cave, explored a Lava Cave, visited the Parliament Fields, saw reindeer, rode Icelandic horses, and spotted a seal close to shore hiding from an Orca! We loved our VERY full days with stopping points and delicious restaurants! No rest periods for this trip, all action all day! Plus we laughed and had so much fun! Ragga is wise beyond her years plus has beautiful skin! So we had to purchase her favorite skincare products at duty free on the way home! ;) Thank you for a once in a lifetime adventure!

This was our second visit under the guidance of Villi, Sigrun and ICEXTravel.
There is no place on earth where you can do so many varied things in one week.
Each day you can turn the dial up or down between adrenaline and relaxation. We definitely went a little heavier on the adrenaline side as it was my son’s 17th birthday. He said it was the best vacation ever. The Lava Lodge was a new offering from Villi etal that was so warm and cozy (amazing food!) and close to so much adventure out in the wilds! A particular highlight was a helicopter visit to the newly active volcano near Reykjavik. The ICEXTravel experience is worth it’s weight in incredible memories!!!
