Otto the Viking and an incredible trip! Our trip through Iceland was absolutely incredible, and a huge part of that was thanks to Otto the Viking. From the waterfalls and glaciers to the breathtaking landscapes in between, every day felt like something out of a postcard. Otto was a fantastic guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Iceland, its history, culture and landscape, but what really made the experience special was his personality. He was authentic, funny, engaging and made the entire group feel comfortable from the start. He had a great way of sharing information without ever making it feel like a lecture, and his humor kept us entertained throughout the trip. Iceland itself is spectacular, but having the right guide can completely change the experience. Otto made an already amazing trip truly memorable. Our entire group had a wonderful time, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone visiting Iceland. If you have the opportunity to tour Iceland with Otto the Viking, do it. You won’t regret it.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

The absolute highlight of Iceland Booking a tour with Otto was hands-down the best experience I had in Iceland. I cannot recommend him highly enough to friends, family, and fellow travelers. Otto is a guide who truly goes the extra mile. When you travelwith him, you don’t just see the tourist spots, you see the real Iceland. He shared so many incredible stories from his own life and took us to stunning hidden gems we never would have found on our own. Beyond his incredible local knowledge, Otto has a massive heart and genuinely cares about everyone on the tour. If you want an authentic, unforgettable Icelandic adventure, book with Otto!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

A great one day deep dive into the wonders of Iceland I was lucky to spend 12 hours with Otto driving and hiking through the Southern Highlands. It was my second day ever in Iceland and it was an unforgettable experience. Otto packed us some wonderful snacks and lunch of delicious icelandic breads and meats and fish and off we went. He was engaging, knowledgable and very good at gauging my abilities to trek through interesting terrain. We covered a lot of ground and were greeted with great weather. Otto is charming, funny and knowledgeable and has a gentle but fierce spirit.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

50 out of 50! Otto the Viking is the best We hired Otto the Viking to guide our group of 20 around the South Coast of Iceland in December 2025. He was an absolute joy to lead us, filled with interesting facts and jokes. He is very knowledgeable, especially on the glacier hike, and we highly recommend him for your visit to this amazing country.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Don't miss the Northern Lights with Otto! My family and I traveled to Iceland in March 2025 specifically to see the Northern Lights. We booked a trip with Otto our first night there so we had time to still look if he couldn't find them. There was no need. Otto was simply amazing and found the most spectacular Northern Lights I could have ever imagined. He also was able to provide guidance on the best way to photo them. His English is superb and he customized the tour however we wanted.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Wonderful guide for the beautiful country of Iceland We were a group of 12 friends and family of all ages, and Otto took the best care of us all. We organized a very long day with him to see the most we could, considering the distance from Reykjavík. We were all so happy with the tour from the sites we saw, the time we were alloted at each stop, and the locations for eating. Everyone raved about what a great time we had with Otto. He was a careful driver and considerate for bathroom breaks and super about taking photos of us (and really skilled in that as well ;) ). I would 100% recommend Otto as a guide.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Unique personal adventure Best vacation, after hearing about others experiences I realize I got a truly customized personal tour. I lived his stories and history and his patience with us. We got to go to some areas and try food that many other people miss. I even did a cold plunge with his guidance. I highly recommendPosted on Tripadvisor![]()
