Great hike with a good guide - The weather was terrible on the day of our hike on 3 Nov 2024, with heavy rain and super strong wind, but our guide Magnus and his dog Lisa were great! Lisa especially was really sensitive and would come walk next to me when I was slower. Reaching the summit was such an exhilarating experience. Great hike and highly recommended.

A rugged and also a rewarding mountain hike - Great guide who also was extremely knowlegable about history and shared a lot with us. It is a rugged hike going up 1900 feet with about 4 miles total up and down. The views are great and you should be a good hiker in good condition.. It is a short distance out of Reykjavik so a good use of your time and worth the price for the two of us. We would be happy to do this again,

Great hike overlooking Reykjavík - It was a great hike to the Steinn of Mt Esja with Magnus! There was good communication leading up to and the pick up was from the hotel. Even though I stopped 10 times during the ascent he was patient, and his lab Lisa is so sweet and energetic. Overall took us a little bit over 2 hours to hike. You get to taste some fresh mountain water and wild berries too on the way up. Would recommend as a female solo traveller!

Esja in June with Magnus - I had the finest experience hiking on Esja with Magnus. Esja is a beautiful and friendly mountain. In this time of the year (June) the blue and white flowers are covering the landscape and make a fantastic contrast to the higher naked brown cliffs. Magnus was a super nice guide. He was relaxed and friendly, and what he knew about Island was told as short stories and easy understandable information. We had a good chat, and I enjoyed every minute. Magnus speaks rather good danish, and since we were only him and me, I felt happy to speak in my own language. I will gladly recommend this to everyone who likes walking in the nature

Awesome hike with Walk On Iceland - Wonderful experience! If you're into hiking and mountain climbing, you won't want to miss this experience. Mangus was an awesome guide. Bring your own crampons if you aren't comfortable walking on ice or you don't have the best hiking boots

A great trip with Magnus!! - Myself and my family completed the walk up mount esja with Magnus and what an amazing time we had!! He was clear about the route we would be following from the start of the walk and set a good walking pace for us. He did not make us feel rushed and we were able to take breaks as and when we needed and we did not feel any pressure to walk at a pace that did not suit us. Magnus was a great guide! He clearly knew the route very well, making us feel safe at all times. He had a lot of knowledge about the mountain and the nature, and we also enjoyed just chatting to him about life in Iceland. He also brought along his dog Lisa who we absolutely loved! She was a very sweet dog!!! Magnus was well prepared for the walk bringing a long water and coffee for us and also some icelandic chocolate (which Lisa loved too!!!!). It is a challenging walk, so be prepared with appropriate shoes (we all had walking boots so not a problem for us). Magnus also gave us Crampons to use at the top where it is was particularly snowy so we could easily walk safely along on the mountain. We had a great time doing the walk and getting to know Magnus and it was a real highlight of our trip!

Great hike! - First, I live in a very flat area. I prepared by wearing weights on my back while I walked around my neighborhood and by doing hill rides on my Peloton. Ma'am, Sir, I was not ready! LOL This hike was straight up hill. Note, locals were walking and running past me like they were walking on flat ground. LOL I say all this to say that the guide was beyond patient with me and led me up Mt. Esja with care. It's a beautiful hike. I really enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this hike especially for a solo traveler. The guide was a gentleman, on time, and communicated effectively before and during the hike.

Great hike, beautiful scenery! - Magnus was a terrific guide... punctual dropoff/pickup and a pleasure to chat with during our hike. He provided extra hiking equipment (and snacks!) and did a great job selecting the best routes up Mt. Esja. His lovely labrador, Lisa, even joined our hike! Overall a fantastic experience I would totally repeat on my next visit to Iceland!

Great hike - HI Magnus was a fantastic guide with a wealth of knowledge about the landscape and the history of the area. Me and my dad had a wonderful time and will be definitely be booking his services on our return to Iceland. Yours sincerely Alex

AMAZING HIKE BUT BOOK THROUGH THEIR SITE - The hike was amazing and my tour guide Magnus was great! Definitely something I would recommend doing. The only issue is that I booked a tour for mt. Elsa and ended up going to mt. Helgafell which is a shorter trip and less expensive, also it’s better to book through their site as on trip advisor it’s double the amount! I lost out on a lot of money over $100 booking through trip advisor and doing another mountain. So definitely go on the hike but book through their site and call them to confirm what mountain you’re going on
