“One of the most engaging, enthusiastic, and informed tour guides I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing the world with”
An intriguing experience
Too many people hurry through Iceland ticking off the “to do” list but missing out on the small things and the heart of the matter. In Mýrdalur, one of the most popular destinations in Iceland, it is well worth slowing down and digging into things just a bit deeper.
Learn more about the nature as well as the life and history of the local people, who live under one of the most powerful volcanoes in Iceland, the infamous Katla.
“Avoid the crowded spots and the tourist traps. Connect directly with nature, history and the local culture.”
An inviting Escape
Walk and Talk with My Uncle offers exciting, intimate and in-depth tours that go deeper, and help you learn and appreciate the surroundings.
Are you looking for two to three hours of easy-going walk and talk with a knowledgeable guide . Or are you looking for a demanding hike over a mountain pass or up to the top of a glacier with an experienced professional guide.
We conduct our walks and talks mainly in English. But we manage well in Danish/Norwegian/Swedish and can communicate reasonably well in Spanish and somewhat in German.
We can can also take you on a private tour.
