Specializing in personalized tours, I love to help travelers partake in authentic experiences that allow them to immerse themselves in Iceland's stunning landscapes and culture fully. Whether it's hiking, exploring remote areas, or diving into local traditions, my goal is to craft unforgettable trips that focus on truly connecting with the environment!
I live in Iceland for half of the year and love to continue exploring every corner of this beautiful island by taking road trips whenever I have the chance.
My (not-so-secret) passion is learning about every legend and folk tale I can find. I will be more than happy to tell you a few!

How did you get involved in travel?

"I am originally from France and discovered a deep love for Iceland a few years ago.
I used to work as a Tour Manager in the performing arts, so I always loved organising travels suitable to everyone's specificities and preferences.
Since then, I have dedicated myself to helping others experience this extraordinary land's unique beauty and wonders. "

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"-I will never forget the first time I visited Jökulsárlón and Diamond Beach!
Seeing giant icebergs drifting across the lagoon before ending up on the beach while sipping some hot coffee was truly a special experience.
Paired with a hike on the Vatnajökull glacier and some delicious mushroom soup at the end of the day, this was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!
-My first time touring the Ring Road in Iceland in early March. We were surprised at the last minute by a strong gale in the Westfjords and found refuge in our friend's home. Since all roads were closed, we explored this small fishing village and ended up in the local outdoor hot pool. Soaking in wonderfully hot water while snow is falling on your head turned out to be my favorite memory of this trip!"

We had such a wonderful experience working with Alisha on our Iceland trip! Everything was so thoughtfully planned, and we especially appreciated the clear driving directions that made exploring on our own easy and stress-free. The premium puffin tour was absolutely incredible, and the kayak on the glacier lagoon was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Alisha made the whole process smooth and enjoyable, and we’re so grateful for her expertise in creating such a memorable adventure!

We had a short amount of time to plan our trip, and Alicia came through with great suggestions and wonderful accommodations. We particularly enjoyed the Puffins and Volcanos tour with Ebbi on the Westman Islands!

We had a short amount of time to plan our trip, and Alicia came through with great suggestions and wonderful accommodations. We particularly enjoyed the Puffins and Volcanos tour with Ebbi on the Westman Islands! Alicia was responsive and knowledgeable, and it's hard to pick a favorite part of our trip as everything was wonderful in very different ways! The only things that kept the experience from being a 5/5 review were finding out when we got to our hotel in the Westman Islands that we were on the 3rd floor of a hotel with no elevator (and a lot of heavy luggage), and not having clearer check in instructions attached to our reservation at the Glacier View Guesthouse. I also had to spend several hours plotting out drive times between each attraction and average time spent at each, in order to ensure we'd arrive at our timed destinations on time and not miss out on anything. Having this information available ahead of time would have saved me several hours of work, but I'm glad I took the time to do it as it made our trip much less stressful!
