Icelandic Glaciers 🧊 An absolutely incredible and unforgettable experience on the Icelandic glaciers! 🇮🇸🧊 The landscapes were breathtaking, and exploring this extraordinary natural environment was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. A huge thank you to our guide Otto, who was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable. He taught us so many fascinating things about glaciers, their formation, and Iceland’s history. His enthusiasm and clear explanations made the excursion both educational and exciting. You could really feel how much he loves his job! Having this excursion just the two of us, rather than in a large group, made the experience even more special. It was much more intimate and personal, allowing us to fully enjoy the scenery, ask questions, and interact with Otto. We will keep wonderful memories of this adventure. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Iceland, especially with Otto as a guide! Thank you for an unforgettable day! 🤍❄️Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Just book! We did an overnight tour with Otto to the south coast in March. The tour with Otto was awesome-fun, informative, and unique. Otto himself is a great time, he gave us history, played us Icelandic songs and showed us the best spots. I can’t recommend Otto as a tour guide enough- don’t think about it, just book! You won’t be sorry!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

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.

We did a 4-5 hr Reykjanes Peninsula UNESCO Geological Area sightseeing private tour w/ airport transfer to KEF. He is a very kind and pleasant gentleman, he kept us on time and we made most of the short window we had. We visited various sites within the Reykjanes Peninsula, Krýsuvíkurkirkja Church , Fagradalsfjall lava fields, Valahnúkamöl Cliffs lava beach, Kleifarvatn Lake, Gunnuhver Geothermal area, the old fishing town destroyed by the recent 2021 Volcanic eruption, the most charming Garðskagi Lighthouses and fishing village !!Posted on Google![]()

If you’re looking for a true Viking adventure in Iceland, Otto the Viking is your guide! Our family—including our kids, grandbaby, my sister, and brother-in-law—had an unforgettable time exploring the Golden Circle and the Westman Islands, where seeing the puffins was incredible!! Otto was the perfect mix of knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely passionate about Iceland! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and highly recommend Otto to anyone visiting Iceland. Takk, Otto!! Barb and family!Posted on Google![]()

We spent two full days touring Iceland with Otto and he is the best of the best! He planned trips that catered to our group, made stops along the way to show us hidden spots that we would not have seen otherwise, and made a great deal of accommodations to make sure we saw all we could see. He is knowledgeable and fun to talk to! He’s a fantastic tour guide and I would highly recommend booking him for your next trip to Iceland!Posted on Google![]()

If you’re going to Iceland, do yourself a favor and book Otto the Viking. He’s not just a guide, he’s the reason our trip was unforgettable. Otto knows Iceland inside and out and took us to incredible spots we never would have found on our own. Every day felt like a mix of adventure and hanging out with someone who genuinely loves what he does. Great stories, great music, lots of laughs, and a real sense of camaraderie. Whether it’s a day trip or an overnight, he makes everything easy and fun. We left feeling like we experienced the real Iceland, not just the tourist version.Posted on Google![]()

Otto is amazing. He knows everything and is well integrated into many of Icelands guide services. He was flexible with me and was allaying figuring out how to make my experience the best. Most importantly he is incredibly kind, funny, and he likes good music. He definitely became a friend. I will book him again, no questions asked.
