We just returned from a spectacular trip to Iceland that included several days of private guided tours with Petur Benedikt of Icelandic Elements. Petur is the ideal guide for experiencing... read more the real Iceland and we cannot recommend him highly enough.

Petur collected us from the overnight flight and organized breakfast so we could regroup and head directly to the Fagradalsfjall volcano to observe the eruption. We hiked up and had a perfect vantage point to watch the flow of lava.
Petur took us on tours to the Golden Circle, the Husafell area and a super fun morning of fishing near Reykjavik.
Petur was helpful on all the details of our trip - finding a guide in the Akureyri area, the perfect hotel on the south coast, getting a covid test in Reykjavik, the list goes on!

  My family and I had a one day tour with Petur to see the south coast of Iceland. I have to say it was the best way to go!!! I... read more got to see so much in one day. I’m not really good with crowds either and he already knew the best way to see everything while avoiding the obtrusive crowds. He was so enjoyable to be with and so knowledgeable about his country. He really has a love for Iceland which is why it made it so wonderful to have him as a tour guide. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him. After a tour with him, you’ll fall in love with Iceland, just as I did. It really is a beauty.

  We just returned from a 9-day visit to Iceland. Our experience with Petur--the owner of Icelandic Elements--as our guide for 3 of the 9 days was definitely a highlight. Petur... read more is warm, professional, knowledgable, and fun. He tailored the itinerary to our interests, with different adventures each day highlighting Iceland's magnificent natural beauty. We visited glaciers, lava caves, and waterfalls, watched seals in the harbor, and took numerous hikes (both short and long). As we travelled the country, Petur shared with us his favorite local spots for food and baked goods, his extensive repertoire of Iceland music, and stories and information about Iceland and its people. Definitely a 5-star experience!
