Amazing Iceland adventures with the best tour guide. - We enjoyed 3 outstanding adventures with Julian as our guide. He came highly recommended and exceeded expectations. The South Coast/ Glacier tour was exciting and like nothing we’d ever done before. Julian goes out of his way to ensure his guests’ safety and comfort. We had amazing conditions for the Kerlingarfjöll Highlands which also included visits to a geyser, hot springs and waterfalls. Would consider the hike one of moderate difficulty but well worth it to see the combination of mountains/steamy waters and icy backgrounds. We were fortunate enough to have beautiful views of the Northern Lights. Julian shares info with other guides and found a perfect spot to enjoy the natural phenomena. His pictures throughout our trips were excellent.

Fantastic tour and exceptionally helpful staff. - We had an exceptional time! Our guide, Otto, was very personable and knowledgable about the areas we visited. Hw was also a lot of fun and guided us toward very good food along the way. We explored a portion of the glacier, several waterfalls and the black-sand beach. Arctic Exped was extremely helpful. I accidentally booked the wrong date for the tour. Arctic Exped was able to change the date for our tour with less than one day's notice - when it was entirely my mistake. They could not have possibly been more helpful. I give them my highest recommendation.

Hands down Icelandic tour god - Bro hands down the best tour guide I've had. This guy is hella considerate, super friendly and knows what he's doing. He planned everything super well, took photos for us, and drove us all the way around Iceland. Truly a 5 star experience. He's the one if you are looking to go to Iceland and have the smoothest tour (Julian AKA Smooth Operator). Now we are best buds, not sure if he feels the way lol but that's how I felt after this trip. Cheers Julian!

The best guide in Iceland - We booked Julian for a private South Coast glacier hike. It was myself, my spouse, and my two children aged 9 and 14. Julian was responsive in texts beforehand and met us on time from our cruise port in Reykjavik. As soon as we got in his car we knew it was going to be a great day. We wanted a tour to the us off the beaten track, and he showed us beautiful spots and was knowledgeable about the land, the geography, and even the weather patterns. Julian made it interesting and kept everyone involved, even my 9-year old. He put safety first on the glacier, looking first before we did anything. He kept an eye on us and advised us of even changing our gait to help grip better. Julian even provided us with rain jackets for the waterfalls so we wouldn’t get soaked. The next day we had high-quality photos waiting for us of our adventure. Not only was he our favorite guide in Iceland, but we’ve already rebooked him for our trip next Summer. Tak, Julian! We will see you next August! 🙏🏻

Once in a lifetime hiking and climbing experience - Julian and his entire team at Arctic Exped were amazing. They designed a full day custom south coast of Iceland tour, topped off with a challenging glacier hike and ice climbing session. Their team was super knowledgeable, friendly, and made the day all about us. As a former ice climber, I could tell the level of skill and professionalism from their guides, who created a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget. There are a lot of options when planning a trip to option, but you will not go wrong by working with Julian and Arctic Exped.

10 Stars if I could! Amazing - The journey to the southern coast and glacier hike were filled with once in a lifetime moments. The landscape is heavenly and quite frankly beyond words. One should see it with their own eyes to appreciate the beauty of Iceland. Julian, our guide, was kind, knowledgeable, and friendly. I highly recommend this adventure.

The best tour guide Iceland has to offer! - This was the best tour we have ever taken in all of our travels around the world. We stayed 2 weeks in Iceland and out of all of the wild adventures we went on, our private tour with Julian (Arctic Exped) was definitely the best time we had while visiting this beautiful country. We reserved a 3 day private tour for a family of four (my wife and I with our 2 boys ages 7 and 11). Julian was very personable and took the best care of my family. He did his best to accommodate our requests and did an excellent job keeping us on schedule, showing us amazing locations that blew our mind. He took us to the most beautiful jewels of Iceland that were very much removed from the overly crowded tourist areas. We were very pleased with our experience and would highly recommend Arctic Exped to any small group looking to have a very personable and customized trip.
