Thor the Guide of Thunder - Thor, the Guide of Thunder!! And laughter 😆 From the moment we got on the bus at 8:30am until 8pm that evening he had us in tears from the jokes and stories. Personable is an understatement, Thor’s personality is warm, soulful, and authentically kind.
Thor also hums along to the great playlist he created for our pleasure. The music mimics the vibe of the experience you will be enjoying. He has great history of both the land and some troll 🧌 stories thrown in for fun.
He knew all the “hot spots” as he is a local born and raised on the peninsula with his family history dating back to the 1800’s!! If you book with Thor you’ll be is safe and capable hands.
Thank you for making Joni’s and my trip unforgettable 🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Snæfellsness Peninsula small group tour from Reykjavík - Had an amazing time at the peninsula. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Our driver Zack (Roman) was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He shared many interesting stories about the area and was always ready to answer questions. We didn’t feel rushed at all. Thank you Zack!
Highly recommend this trip

South coast gems!! - Andres made the trip so much fun! It was nice to sit back and have him take us to the spots while enjoying the scenery around us! He was very accommodating as well when we needed bathroom breaks, snacks, and even searching for the northern lights on the way home!
Highly recommend Mercury Grail!
Thank you Andres for a wonderful day!

West Coast vist was a special treat! - I recently traveled with my grown son to Iceland and we took several different day trips with Andres to visit different parts of the country from our home base in Reyjavik. Andres was a terrific guide. He is reliable, pleasant and interesting and very flexible. We very much enjoyed his company and the information and stories that he shared. He didn't rush us at any point and let us linger at each stop as long as we wanted. Our visit to the Snaefellsness Peninsula -- western Iceland -- was a surprising highlight. It was a relaxing scenic day without any crowds, as this is an underrated destination in Iceland. We also toured with Andres to the Golden Circle and Secret Lagoon and for a full day in the South. I will be recommending Andres to my family and friends. He made our visit easy and enjoyable.

Day trip to Snaefellsness Peninsula - We couldn't have been happier with our day trip to West Iceland. We had booked a small group tour and were lucky enough to have the tour all to ourselves. Andres was a wonderful guide and went out of his way to make sure that we got to see and do everything we wanted. We loved the Snaefellsness Peninsula and were glad to go places that were not packed with tourists. We especially enjoyed Hellnar - what a gorgeous, amazing place! We are not spiritual people, but the formations, water, and birds were so lovely that we could have stayed all day. Andres was very informative and flexible and put up with our silliness as we marveled at the different colored hay bales (in additional to all the natural beauty). He even dropped us off directly at our Air B&B even though the drop-off was technically several minutes away. We strongly recommend that people visit West Iceland and the Snaefellsness Peninsula to see more than the typical tourist sights - and there's no better way to do this than with Andres of Mercury Grail.

This was a very small tour group 7... - <p>This was a very small tour group 7 people led by Andres Ivanovic of Mercury Grail tours. Cannot say enough good about the entire tour or the guide. Above and beyond anything we could have anticipated. Highly recommend this tour!</p>
